Is it possible for one person to fight all evils on his own all of the time?
I doubt it
because the evil that he or she tries to fight is bigger and better equipped
than the individual in most cases.
Having said
that, it does not mean that we should not be subservient in front of them.
Lately, I have
noticed that most supermarkets surreptitiously fleecing their valued customers
by displaying a lower figure on the shelf tag but charging a higher amount.
My recent
experience was that the shelf marked price was Rs 70/= per 100 gm, but at the
check-out, they charged me Rs 72.50 per 100 gm.
As you know, there is no point in seeking help from the concerned authorities, as those who are in high chairs in those places are more corrupt than the big business entities.
The best way to eradicate this phenomenon is to be
vigilant and always take up the issue with the party then and there.
Once the issue
is sorted out, use social media to educate others as well.
One customer
does not matter to most, but if we gang up and form a confederation with a common
goal, then they will feel the pinch more.
Some may
dismiss this approach for various reasons.
But remember
the Montgomery
bus strike in the USA?
It lasted more than one year, and finally, the boycotters won their battle.
