A friend of Aziz was surprised by the high price of the dinner bill at a restaurant he used to go to in a well-known shopping mall. ».
The owner of the restaurant was not surprised by the question, and expressed his deep regret for having to take this action, although he knows the negative impact of this in the restaurant first, and then in the second, and is fully aware that the time is not right for such a change in prices, the whole world is passing With fluctuating economic conditions, the consumer now does not want to spend money in the same way he used many years ago, where there are priorities that control all consumer habits without a doubt!
«As long as you know these facts .. Why raised prices? What forced you to do this? ”Asked my dear friend.“ Your brother is forced, not a hero. The cost has doubled for me, ”he said.“ I am not going to talk about workers' fees, food costs or food prices. But is it possible that the mall will force me to radically change the decor of the restaurant every three years? Although the decor, as you can see, is very luxurious and very modern, and spent millions of dirhams, but it did not help me, and now I have to close the restaurant, and change all this furniture to suffer additional losses, and did you know that the mall forces us to implement the decorations at certain companies "We don't have the choice of others, which makes it much harder to get better prices."
My friend's surprise at the restaurant owner's response was much greater than his surprise at the high price of the dinner bill, but the owner cut his surprise and said to him: Do you want to know more? Can you believe that the mall is not satisfied with the amount of annual rent we pay him, although the amount of rent is very high and very cumbersome, which is also subject to increase, however, the management of the mall shares with us annually, it requires us to pay a percentage of the profits other than the annual rent, Therefore, the lessor practically shares us in our livelihood, not only being a lessor party, presumably not related to what we sell or what we earn, and even the principle of partnership in which a kind of injustice, they are limited to profit, but in the case of loss is not related to the mall, we have to bear and pay Complete without decrease!
Dear friend, after he was shocked by what he heard, he could only agree to the owner of the restaurant to raise prices, because he has no other way to reduce his losses, or to close the restaurant and leave the mall, he replied quickly: I have only the first option, because closing the restaurant will make me pay fines Great mall imposed penalty clause! Does it make sense ?!
