Why Holistic Businesses Shouldn't Follow This Example
Building Relationships Through Transactions
Financial transactions are not just about exchanging money; they're about building relationships. It's frustrating when a company I've been loyal to makes me feel disrespected after I've paid them.
A Long-Term Customer's Experience
For years, my family purchased groceries from a local superstore, spending about $4,500 annually. Over my adult life, this amounted to approximately $76,500. However, I began noticing a decline in quality: bruised apples, dented tins, sticky tortilla wraps, and pitta bread with holes. Items were frequently out of stock too.
Unaddressed Complaints
I reached out to the local branch about these issues. After receiving no response for three weeks, I contacted their Head Office. Surprisingly, I heard nothing from them either. It seemed that ignoring customer complaints might be a part of their policy, as nothing improved in the store.
Realizing My Impact
While my $4,500 a year might be insignificant compared to their $2.65 billion profit, it made me reconsider our relationship. I've long been concerned about food miles and environmental issues. Many locally grown vegetables travel to places like Germany for packaging before making their way to UK shelves. This practice isn't environmentally friendly. Superstores dictate prices and influence town planning, which doesn't always sit right with me. Despite some benefits they offer, when a company fails to value its customers, it's time to reassess that relationship.
Choosing Local
I decided it was time to buy local whenever possible. I found a local service that delivers fresh fruit, salad, and vegetables. They use reusable boxes, minimizing extra packaging and plastic waste. The prices are competitive too!
Spending money locally has significant benefits. Most of the money spent stays within the local economy, unlike when shopping at a superstore where little returns to the community.
Supporting Local Farmers
Living in the countryside, surrounded by farmers?"some of whom I know personally?"I'd rather support them than businesses that don't value customer relationships.
Best,
Neil
