So......what is going on over at the Big "V" ?? If any of their customers happen to pay attention to the November Vistar catalog, they will have noticed that almost EVERY item increased in cost by .85% up to 1.25%! WTF????? What is the motivation behind this?
I mean other than we all are not making enough margin but still to just take an increase and not really notify anyone of your customers? Maybe they did inform them but nobody I have talked to was aware of it.
The only Manufacturer price increase that we are aware of for November came from Pierre. What happens when all of the Manufacturers take an increase in January?
I would like you all to know that Vend Northwest will not be taking ANY price increases the rest of the year unless it is warranted by a Manufacturer increase.
Things are soooo tight right now that it is very difficult to understand why they would choose to do this. Maybe it was a corporate directive, who knows but it must be nice!! I also want you all to know that we honor and respect all of our customers and know that we are all in this together and that is the way we will make it through this very tumultuous time in the economy! Thanks for listening! Curt
