ACS has launched a new campaign this week, calling on convenience store retailers to report those who are attempting to raise prices unfairly and take advantage of consumers during the Covid-19 outbreak.

ACS is urging retailers to report any instances they see to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), who have set up a taskforce on the issue in response to complaints about price hikes from consumers.

We appreciate you may be dealing with less staff, and potentially more cash at this time, and your regular cash processes could be impacted due to branch / post office opening times or restrictions.

Reckoon is providing the feature, so people get the stock information of essential items around them. Every time you visit a super market or a corner shop to buy essential items, use the reckoon app to update the stock of milk, bread, and other essential items.

This will provide a way to the people/you searching for essential items to find out which shops has it available, rather than visiting multiple shops to find the items. Convenience stores can download the app and update their own inventory for essential items.
