Excuse me, please. With regard to the big multiples, it is my understanding that if a supplier is producing milk, that supplier provides the fridge, stacks the milk in it and all the retailer has to do is to check it out and so on. Is there a difference between the sector and the big multiples in getting the supplier or processor to do all of the hard work? Do RGDATA members have to stack their own shelves and is there a qualitative difference in that work?
