I have just read some comments in Blick on the above-mentioned topic. I am happy to give Migros my contribution: "If Migros does this, it is betraying itself! Then customers will no longer go to "their" Migros because it has sold the most visible sign of its soul. The motto must be "Everyone has booze and smoke, except Migros!""

I will (have to) accept it when it comes, but it will always be a very strange feeling when I see these two things (which I don't consume myself) on the shelves or at the checkout in Migros. It just doesn't fit in with Migros and I've always appreciated the fact that it hasn't happened so far. But if this is what you want, as a customer I will respect and accept it. That's why I won't turn my back on Migros... But if I had the choice as a customer, I would vote "no".

Hello everyone Thank you very much for your contributions and honest opinions. We are aware that this issue is very important for many customers - after all, it is a recurring topic of discussion. In order to avoid confusion and prevent rumors, I would like to give you a brief overview of the current situation: various delegates have raised the issue. In order for alcohol sales to be permitted in Migros branches, the FMC statutes would have to be amended by the Assembly of Delegates and the statutes of the ten regional Cooperatives would have to be amended by a democratic ballot of all Cooperative members. It is not yet clear whether these votes will take place at all. We will inform you via our usual channels should concrete steps be taken. Best regards and have a nice day, Marc

Do I understand correctly that the members of the Cooperative can reject this in the ballot, even if the Assembly of Delegates approves it? Then all the excitement would be in vain, as ultimately the majority decides democratically whether alcohol actually has a place in Migros or not.

Hello Glatt-Mann Yes, you've got that right. Both the approval of the delegates' meeting and the ballot vote are required. Best regards, Marc

If this is the case, it would be the last motivation for me to remain a member of the cooperative in order to prevent the ultimate suicide of Migros. It has been doing this in small steps for years, and has already taken a big step this year by giving up many Frey products in favor of Lindt, Toblerone and Co. If the vote goes in favor of selling alcohol and tobacco, it would definitely no longer be "my" Migros. It would be the definitive step towards arbitrary interchangeability, because Migros' last identity feature would also be gone.
