Kodwa ingxenye engiphatha kabi kakhulu ngu-25% olahleka ezingeni lezitolo (retail). Uma ungena kunoma iliphi isitolo esikhulu, uzobona amashalofu egcwele phama ukuze nje kubonakale sengathi “kuningi.” Ekupheleni kosuku, lokho “kuchichima” kugcina emigqonyeni yodoti—isinkwa esisha, ubisi, nezithelo ezishayekile kancane.
