When the scam was launched by roderic ogorman he was asked how much the ceo was being paid and he laughed and claimed he didn’t know but probably more then him
A scam from start to finish

If they source cheaper then they will make a bigger margin or pass on the saving
Depends on the retailer or product
Big brands won’t allow retailers to sell their brands under a certain agreed price
When you open a shop let me know
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
Same thing. It’s kind of simple Connor,the price you pay depends on the cost to the retailer who will 99% of the time work on fixed margins.The places you spend your money might be different like your dodgy chipper for example
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
You said retailers charge what they think they will get
That’s a hunch
What is the name of your shop?
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
So Connor,you think that it’s important to have the logo to inform you but you bought a can in Dublin with no logo but you paid the deposit and you bought a can in London with the logo but you didn’t pay the deposit?
And retailers just randomly pick the retail price on a hunch
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
So you bought a can on Dublin with no logo and you bought a can in London that had a logo?
Did you pay a deposit on the English can?
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
K
But in the real world it’s based on cost.
Why don’t you try charging €9.00 euros
If it doesn’t work offer it for two,sure nothing lost
Try it
What’s the name of your shop by the way?
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
Easy,all products barcodes have to be registered
If you sell a product that hasn’t been registered then you get a hefty fine.Easily traced
The logo is just there to stop parallel imports
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
The point is simple
The return machine reads the barcodes,not the return logo
The purpose of the logo is to stop parallel imports and control their market
Check out whose on the board
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
You’re right,what an importer pays for a product has absolutely nothing to do with the price at the till.
Nothing at all.Sure why would it?
It’s all down to how the lad at the checkout is feeling
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
All the lower abv beer that you could get here before return has disappeared.Cheaper to buy.
Now you have to buy from Heineken irl.
Is it making any sense to you?
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
If you have to have an Irish only logo then you have to buy coke from coke Ireland Ltd
Before return many companies were selling coke sourced all across Europe which helped keep prices down.The same for many products
It’s not hard tounderstand
Replying to @conorfingleton @Nick_Delehanty
Irish products must carry the return logo which is exclusive to Ireland
Next time you’re abroad see if coke cans have the return logo?
That means that we do have different packaging which dramatically reduces choice
Do a bit of research!
Replying to @ProAddition @Nick_Delehanty
Irish products must carry the return logo which is isn’t on other countries products
That means there is Irish only packaging
Do a bit of research!
Replying to @rtenews
Can Rte maybe do some investigating and inform the public who is on the board?
Replying to @Nick_Delehanty
And enforcing Irish only packaging means far less choice and higher prices for Irish consumers
Check out who’s on the board and then it all makes sense
Replying to @kenoflynnTD
Do a simple google search of the board and post it
Nothing to do with recycling
Replying to @EamonMelia
The man who championed this,r ogorman when asked how much the person running the scam was being paid laughed and said he didn’t know but probably more then him!He puts this scam together but doesn’t know what the salaries are??Course not
