We might also want to have HCA as currency (hand cleaning alcohol).
Here in Denmark we have a whisky distillery which has changed production from
the finest peated whisky to HCA as this is a shortage here too. Maybe that is
no good idea anyway as you now may want to lick your hands.......

Here it’s LVMH who put their perfume factories to the task, not their wineries
and distilleries.
They’re giving it to hospitals (they can afford it ) so I don’t know how it
smells


  Still Wednesday here for some more hours.

I'd suggest paracetamol too but that would make them a drug dealer.

Oops, I forgot that.
Maybe I should buy some

(APAP / acetaminophen for those who don’t use the name paracetamol.)


  Still Tuesday here.

Yeah France! Always ahead! At least by one hour…

Dear BrickLink,

Considering the worldwide situation, the financial measures already started in
many countries (including the USA and the EU) and the financial measured not
yet taken, and the obvious consequences of all these (like inflation, devaluation,
and total financial and fiducial chaos), I’d like to strongly suggest BrickLink
add two new, but actually quite ancient, (mostly) universal, and staple currencies:
TP (Toilet Paper) and PST (Pasta).

Thank you,
Sylvain


PS: we’re Wednesday in France.

Sounds like a grocery store where you need a keycard for some deals and then
an app for even more. To me, it is unnecessary when you have the power to reduce
prices or run general sales for all customers and advertise as such. I'd
be quite upset if I bought from a store, and then realized that I could have
saved 10% if I saw some advertisement from somewhere else. This is just like
when any of us buy something and then learn it was cheaper if we entered some
code at checkout.

PS: Any Grocery Store Managers or Corporate see this... STOP IT. I'm already
in your store. Just give me the best price you are advertising without having
to go through all the extra steps!

PSS: I understand fully how advertising works. I just think it is getting ridiculous.
Keep it simple for all of us customers, no matter what industry we are talking
about.

The goal isn’t to have every buyer pay the “best” price. This “best” price is
funded by the ones who don’t pay it.
IOW, you say “when you have the power to reduce prices or run general sales for
all customers,” but that’s the thing: they can’t afford to reduce the prices
for everyone, or it would be a tiny, unmemorable reduction. So they do the next
best thing: make you believe they reduce the prices often. Too bad you always
miss it.

And there’s lots of psychological reasons: feeling special, feeling the discount
is earned, remembering the prices are low even if you paid more, etc.

Also, people are different: You get upset when you realize you missed a discount
while others don’t care and just throw away coupons. And it seems to work because
they do it again and again (and they have the numbers to know if it’s efficient).
