Packeteering: Crisp-Dealing Pupil Suspended

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-New ... 8766?f=rss

Right, here goes...


	Quote: Joel Bradley, 12, was caught allegedly selling a packet of Discos at a marked-up price of 50 pence.

Is 50p a marked-up price these days?


	Quote: His father, Joe, told the Liverpool Echo the youngster was being "victimised" for the enterprise, which could earn him as much as £15 a day. Mr Bradley, from Norris Green, admitted he too had once been caught selling canned drinks, chocolate bars and crisps from a van outside the school.

That's just funny all round :lol:

It's become like prison in a sense, where even the smaller things are desirable and can cost more than usual

They were probably from a multipack.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I think he should be applauded if anything.

And he should also put his prices up.

He got caught twice. He should rethink his operations.

Re: Packeteering: Crisp-Dealing Pupil Suspended

It sounds like the issue is the crisps, as opposed to the mark-up.

If the school has banned them on their premises, then I would expect him to be booted, even if he was giving them away.

He is breaking school rules, so a suspension is to be expected.
