I also reckon that since they have more goods, they get better rates from wholesalers. Not sure about the bribing hierarchy, but it is easier for the smaller traders to do so and get a quick fix reprieve. <br /><br />PS: I like that you read my piece a few times, whatever be the reason!

I wonder if this tax only hits the small shops or does it also hit the big supermarkets. If the supermarkets don't care is it because giving a little more bribe doesn't bother them. <br /><br />I enjoyed this article. I needed to read it a few times to absorb the content though.

You probably liked the reference to "yellowing parchment" from my profile :-)<br /><br />Yet, thank you. This is an important subject, and am glad I seem more sober. The strike probably affected me more than I thought!FVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-37166167896275174292013-05-17T05:48:20.107+05:302013-05-17T05:48:20.107+05:30This piece was reminiscent of (a number of) your o...This piece was reminiscent of (a number of) your old pieces (old as in yellowing parchment-old!). I liked it a lot! A bit more sober and less carefree (unlike back then), and a thoughtful streak runs through it - vintage FV! Do keep it up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
