So it turns out that the queue as a phenomenon is insurmountable? Absolutely not.
For example, this problem is being successfully solved in Klaipeda. The shops here are special: there is no place for packing, there are no utility rooms, so to speak, a backstage part where goods for the "right" people would be stored. The goods are stored at the bases, where they are packaged, washed, sorted and placed in containers. Moreover, all this is done using technical means, without which it is simply impossible to get rid of queues today. Stores and products are as close to customers as possible. There is no need to go to your "own" store to buy industrial mass-market goods, you can buy them at a grocery store. The share of such goods in the total turnover of supermarkets here reaches 20%. This is convenient for the customer and profitable for the store. I must say that in the trading world, there is currently a process of leaching highly specialized enterprises, there are stores like "dragstore" that sell both food and industrial goods equally. Newspapers, medicines, and a wide range of other consumer goods can be purchased there.
An example is the organization of trade in Brest and Vitebsk. However, good experience is stubbornly not adopted by many cities.
The queue is not a momentary, episodic "misunderstanding." It has a complex root system. To write off difficulties, queues only for trade, its organization, means to close the way to the search for truth, a cardinal solution to the problem. Today, trade itself incurs considerable costs, both material and moral losses, not only for its sins, omissions, of which there are indeed a lot, but also for other economic bodies, sectors of the economy, planning, etc.
After all, it is clear to everyone: you can only sell what is produced and delivered to stores. And if in the last 22 years (1966-1987) the trade turnover plan has been fulfilled only 5 times, then this is not so much the fault as the trouble of the industry. In the first three years of the current five-year plan, trade received 43 billion rubles less goods than planned. She still acts as a pathetic petitioner, she just can't really demand. Hence the dictatorship of the manufacturer with all the negative consequences that follow from it, not only for humans, but also for society. It seems that in order to balance the monetary incomes of the population, trade turnover and commodity resources in this matter, it is necessary to significantly increase the responsibility of local Councils, especially since the state order for trade has been canceled since 1990.
Our trade is the cheapest, and its share in the price of goods (cost of circulation and profit) is the lowest — a little more than 10-12%, which is several times lower than in capitalist countries and significantly lower than the corresponding indicator in socialist countries. Suffice it to say that in the United States, for example, over 23 million people are employed in trade, whereas in our country, despite the large population, larger territory and difficult natural and geographical conditions, this figure is 2.3 times less. Trade in our country has been developing for a long time based on the notorious residual principle. The result is incredible technical backwardness, desolation and, as a result, huge losses, both material and moral. Lucky mate casino
