– Many of their earned money goes to charity so it’s, municipalities/the state would not pay for, pay genbrugsbutikkerne.
And the municipalities/the state do not get into taxes, saving, for they are on a different account.
– not to speak Of the volunteers, who get a quality of life by still being able to be used when they become pensioners.
– instead of ‘wither’ at home on the couch, and fill themselves with all sorts of nerve medication , (of course paid with the subsidy of the municipality), then they can come out and be filled with vitality in the fellowship with other people.
How to write Henrik N in a comment on sn.dk on retail-expert Bruno Christensen’s explanation of butiksdøden in Denmark. Bruno – that point to the genbrugsbranchen not pay tax and vat and does not pay wage says:
– Genbrugsbutikkerne is a great nuisance to the traditional trade.
– They remove the basis of the existing shops – especially on the clothing.
– Thus they don’t do anything good for the city centre, says the expert, namely to the newspaper, but Henrik is not the only one who think he is wrong.
Thrift stores are also trading and gives life in the city centres. It is better that the premises are empty?
– There will be more of the kind, because we need to put our spending on environmental causes, in addition, there are more and more poor.
– Should they not also be able to buy the clothes or the city centre, only for the rich, writes David S in another comment (found in the SN.dks Facebook-profile), while Betina’s feel sorry for the people trying to operate a regular business:
– It is hard enough to be self-employed in a small town.
– But all the thrift stores does not make it easier.
– It is always the first thing I think of when I visit Sydney, writes Betina, but where are you in genbrugsbutiksdebatten?
