we don't have to "wonder" why the comp stays in business. And still less so if other companies can produce, package, ship ... the "same" stuff for far less.
What I'm wondering, is why people keep buying the "branded" one.
Well, apparently you did. or didn't you buy two different boxes? (That's how I read the post, and I wondered: was the cheaper box out of sale, and did you need it that urgently? ... probably that's the case: if the "other brand" runs out, the pharmacist can gain a bit more on the more expensive "original", and won't hesitate to go for the quick win ...
But you went elsewhere to see the other price, so he got the quick win, the other pharmacist got the long term customer ? |
