Answer 1

ANSWER :-

A shopkeeper, in a layman’s language is a seller of goods and services. He provides items of an economic value in exchange for its value in terms of money or some other universally accepted medium of exchange.

Without shopkeepers, no economy can take a proper shape. Without them, the economy will come to a standstill because it is the demand and supply of goods and services by the shopkeepers that regulates the economy.

In the modern economy it is not necessary for the seller to have a physical presence.

Shopkeeper can basically operate from the comfort of their homes just by establishing a network for their goods to reach the customer. But not every seller of goods and services is a shopkeeper.

What distinguishes a shopkeeper, your need to have a place is physical presence from where you market your goods and services.

A shopkeeper should be able to interact real time with the customer so as to fulfill his demands. But today, the face of shop keeping has acquired new meanings as well with the introduction of malls and self-service outlets in our economy.

But the traditional basis remains the same. A small shopkeeper selling some everyday groceries and a big outlet of Zara are regardless of their size, shops headed by shopkeepers.

The name ‘shopkeeper’ acquires a new name there like a manager, director but his duties, nevertheless, remains more or less the same.

A shopkeeper has some duties towards the society he lives in and the customer in general.

Since a shopkeeper, uses a society’s resources indirectly for the production of an item and also uses society as on outlet to earn for the services he renders.

Thus he owes to the society and hence should amuse his responsibilities accordingly.

He should make sure that his product delivers value to the society.

The price of the product should not be looted appropriately. The products should be free from any adulteration and should not be harmful for consumption.

They should not pollute environment and take care that the production should not cause any harm to the society in general.

All the items sold by a shopkeeper should be certified by the authorizing committee in question. A shopkeeper should always give an invoice to record the sales of the item.

Also the shopkeeper should make sure that all the consumer grievances are being heard regarding the items sold by him and the consumer should not face any inconvenience.

The product should be in a working condition and the shopkeeper should make sure that the consumers are not cheated for their money.

I know the shopkeeper’s motive is to make profits at what cost. He is not allowed to make profits at other people’s expense.

He should rather cut his cost; maintain his quality, to deliver value to the society. Instead of inflating prices, he should invent methods to increase profit.
