uh...
had mentioned
the oklahoma uh...
legislatures that quite a place
apparently uh...
according to the oklahoma world
this river
debate over whether small businesses can compete with big box change
produces harassing moment broke on the house of representatives clone majority
leader
dennis johnson
republican from dunkin on wednesday
they were debating a bill
that would repeal a seventy-year-old ban on all lost leaders selling in other
words
you cannot sell a product
greater than a six-percent loss
for yourself because
that is deemed to be a tight competitive it's a way of driving other businesses
out of uh... business
and i think this came up because they want to have big box stores come in and
is what big box stores do
aid when they first come in they looted dramatically a lower the prices based
upon what other retail outlets are in the uh...
uh... the the area
once they have uh... price those retail outlets out of business
and the prices go back a that's the way they do that that's how you destroy a
downtown let's say and um...
build them all
nevertheless
johnson
uh... in arguing that
so there was a small business owner said service
in our price are the key to success
he says
he's arguing for the big bob a box story come in
saying that you know price is not a uh... an issue for people
and he said as some of its customers
quote trotted jewelry down
off his price or
which apparently means try to negotiate uh... prices with me down
now i have to say conor
uh... to mister johnson really what these people should be doing is they
should be trying to find the wholesale rather than going to the retail but not
johnson who with represent fred jordan
the third ranking member of the majority leadership emilie apologize adding
trying to urge small businesses to
on
jude and that is a slang term for haggling
who's considered ethnically derogatory
um... you should know
that they are uh... there's no jews in the oklahoma house
and uh... through a spokesman those folks person
speaker the house uh... t_w_ shannon from law and said johnson not the first
person to make a comment they regret the chamber accepted his apology moved on
kim
so there you have it no colo month
uh... its service
not the capacity for being jude down which should get to customers alike that
you you when you were translating we were using some very g_e_ like uh...
giuliani ahl you mean negotiate
rattana prices right
certainly healthy jewish projects here at the majority are definitely
out or the wholesaler
makes more sense but that is nothing worse than that you're getting judo that
to you to do to up request
