One can say that there is not much difference between the Modern shoppers and the shoppers of years ago. They want to buy good products from a range of items which are well priced. They don't mind to visit a specialist shop where shop keeper really knows his products. They would like to go to the butcher who can offer advice on meat or a fishmonger who can fillet the fish for them as that gives them the feeling that they are shopping sensibly and the best way.
As a matter of fact, it probably does not matter if the quantity of main supermarkets is condensed to four or even three. The main issue is that their financial muscle and lobbying supremacy over both national and local government is massive. There is already a lot of damage which is done and is expected that is will go on being done. It is a message in political and market failure. It is however for us to understand the benefits and pitfalls of any advancement or change which is brought in with time. There might be many benefits which might have emerged due to the evolution of Supermarkets but the weight of the negatives is high as compared to the positives. Hence, the benefit of having everything under one roof should not be much of an attraction as compared to the health hazards and environmental pollution which are caused by such an existence. One can only keep a positive hope that the supermarkets work on their negatives for a healthier, successful and a better Environment.
