Daily News | A grocery store general manager explains how inflation affects Philly shoppers
It was a cold, rainy night last December and Weaver’s Way Co-op general manager Jon Roesser had almost called off a members’ forum. When just two women showed up, he thought, “Oh my god, I’m gonna be here for the next two hours for two people.”
The second attendee was also shopping elsewhere: at Mom’s Organic Market. “She said, ‘When I shop at Mom’s Organic, I can shop with my eyes closed because they have such a strict policy and I don’t have to worry.” At Weaver’s, where conventional groceries are occasionally mixed into inventory as cost-saving offerings, she had to be more discerning.
We also see it in our cost of goods, which is vendors charging us more money for the stuff that we buy from them and then turn around and sell to our customers. That’s inflation that we can at least make decisions on. “Are we going to raise our retail price by the same amount? Or are we going to make the strategic decision to hold the line on the retail costs and take a margin hit?”We have weekly meetings with meat, seafood, deli, produce, bakery.
