i asked chatgpt about this:
>me: Why are there different prices in countries in the euro zone? For example, the Netherlands and Greece. A table grill at Lidl costs 49,99€ in the Netherlands, while it costs 59,99€ in Greece. Why is that?

>chatgpt: That's a very legitimate question—after all, the Eurozone countries share the same currency, which makes price comparisons easier. Nevertheless, there are different prices, even for identical products in stores of the same chain, like Lidl. There are several reasons for this:
>1. Different cost structures Operating costs (rent, wages, energy, etc.) vary in every country:
>In Greece, for example, higher logistics or import costs may apply.
>Costs for staff, storage, or store operations may also vary.
>2. Logistics and supply chains
>Even if Lidl sells the same products across Europe, they are not always delivered from the same warehouse. Products may originate from different central warehouses, which affects transport costs:
>The distribution and distance from the manufacturer or central warehouse to the individual branches is an important factor.
>3. Taxes and duties
>Even though all Eurozone countries use the euro, they have different VAT rates:
>In Greece the regular VAT rate is 24%,
>In the Netherlands at 21%.
>4. Marketing and pricing policy
>Discounters like Lidl engage in country-specific marketing. They adjust prices:
>purchasing power,
>the competitive situation,
>and purchasing behavior in each country.
>Conclusion:
>Even though it's the same item in the same retail chain, many factors influence the final price – from taxes to logistics to local pricing policies. This is completely legal and common practice within the Eurozone.

lidl are robbers!!!

>>213093321
Greeks are pickpockets, stop being robbers and you won't get robbed in return.

>>213093507
we are robbing as a reaction to being robbed not the other way around

>>213093529
Untrue, you've been gypsies long before lidl came to Greece or even existed.
