After a one-day boycott of all the big ones commercial chains and weekly boycott of individual large stores, it was the turn of DIS stores.
Association for consumer protection "Efektiva" called consumers in Serbia that from Monday (March 24) to Sunday, March 30, due to high prices, they should not shop in the stores of the DIS trade chain.
"We saw that DIS reduced the salaries of employees, in the range of five to 10 percent. As the reason, a drop in turnover was cited, which, I guess, is the fault of the employees, who need to play striptease for consumers. Instead of the management lowering the prices and making them acceptable to consumers", it was stated in the statement of "Efektiva" published on Instagram.
The last one-week boycott
The association announced that this is the last weekly boycott and that they will soon agree on the next steps.
"During this week, we will conduct a survey and ask consumers what they suggest as the next step. I believe that the boycott of certain retail chains will continue for a long period of time," Dejan Gavrilović from the Association "Efektiva" told "Vreme".
That association has so far called for a weekly boycott of four retail chains, and DIS is the fifth in a row.
In the first week, Deleza stores were boycotted, including Maxi and Shop&Go, in the following week Mercator stores were boycotted, then it was Lidl and Univerexport.
