A liter of sunflower oil costs up to five euros in Germany, and one store has decided to put an end to it.
Namely, the branch of the Edeka trading chain in Trendelburg no longer wants to sell oil in its store with such prices. In the Edeka store, they have already put up a sign saying that they do not sell oil, reports SEEbiz.
"We did not expect the situation to develop in the direction it did. We put a sign on the oil shelf explaining why we no longer sell oil. We will not sell sunflower oil for 4,99 euros per liter. We distance ourselves from these prices. There are limits," said head of store Anja Muller to Germany's RTL.
She added that customers responded well to their move.
"Oil is an absolute food and must not be sold over the counter at such exorbitant prices. There are even people selling oil on eBay. I just want to do my daily business here without the black market. "My conscience does not allow us to sell oil at such high prices," said Muller.
She revealed that there is another reason for the boycott of high oil prices.
"If you only knew what my employees have to listen to at the cash register. Some customers accuse the employees of getting rich from extortionate prices or enjoying cheap oil themselves. It's completely unfair and unjustified," Muller said.
