“You will tell me exactly what you want and I will put it in the basket, because it is illegal. Only possible in the electronic store. “If the police check, you will say that things are not yours and that you are only looking.”

This instruction is given by employees. from a well-known toy and seasonal store in Katerini, to customers who enter the space to buy Christmas and miscellaneous items for the home.

By the time the country is in universal lock and the KateriniLike all of northern Greece, it belongs to the high risk and high viral load areas, some seem to have found ways to ignore sanitary protocols and create conditions of unfair competition.

the the doors of the store are closed Front but rear usually accepts clients. As you can see from the photos on thesstoday.gr, the large Christmas trees attract the interest of the public who enter the store to buy. “At the entrance near the cash registers there are some confectionery, chocolates, chips and sweets, which the public can buy without any problem since they are food, so essential.” as the employees said.

But deep down they are all Christmas, that is, the products they collect more people. Parents with their children and the elderly show what they want from the shelf and employees put it in the baskets. When the purchase is done, customers give their details and later in the day or the next day if there is a lot of work and a lot of “orders”, things arrive at your door. They can pay cash on delivery or by card. In fact, purchases should be worth 30 euros or more, as employees inform customers when they arrive.

The store receives a lot of people, the elevator works normally With as many people as possible, many wear their mask under their nose, the disinfection does not seem to be done and the situation recalls times before the closure and the coronavirus pandemic that is increasing. “This blouse is pretty.” Let’s go to Christmas and then we’ll come back for it. “ a father says to his son as they enter the store and look at the clothes.

Something different, but with the same “mentality”, operates a well-known store Small items from home out of town, which is actually very close to your building Katerini Police Department! The store sells household items, bathroom products, lamps, furniture, oil paints, kitchen items, appliances, garden equipment, etc.

In this store, people, either alone or two or three together, buy whatever they want with baskets and carts, go shopping at the cash register and take them home. In other words, things are a bit more “relaxed” than at the toy store. According to the information, other large stores in Katerini operate in this way, on the one hand endangering the health of citizens and on the other hand creating unfair competition for the owners of closed premises, observing the protection measures against the coronavirus, which hits to the country and especially to the north of Greece. .

ThessToday.gr got in touch with the president of the Pieria trade association, Mr. Costa Reha, who said for his part that for the first shop he knew that he had received a special license because he has some food items. However, I did not know that it sells Christmas, toys, household items, etc., taking purchases to the customers’ houses, but without placing the order online, but directly from the customer in the store. As for the second store, he said it sells some basic necessities, so it remains open.

As he says: “The client must report these incidents, must be aware. If the other tells you to buy what you want, file a report. This creates unfair competition and does not honor either the company or the consumer. And the client himself has a responsibility. There cannot be police outside every store. Normally the entrepreneur who gives more things than his license says, from the product codes written in the license, must have them separately. What is allowed and what is not allowed. If you tell people that we will take them home, this is illegal. It is legal only when there is an online store. “

And continues: “How can the employer not be afraid that his client will report him himself? He has heavy fines, they are thousands of euros.” In addition, Mr. Rehas mentions businessmen who sell illegal products. “They will not be saved. Nobody will be saved by getting 100 and 200 euros more. Right now, retail is being destroyed all over Greece.”
