But maybe I'm a bit naive?

I was talking about things like the chainsaw.
For the cash register, I don't think the goal is to encourage people to be a cashier ...
On the other hand, the child can claim one to "play at the merchant" (and because she sees it every time her parents go shopping)

So if I follow you, it's racing, is it going to the supermarket?

Can you only do your shopping in a supermarket with a shopping cart and a treadmill? : Shock:

And the small traders? : Shock:

Well there are cash registers everywhere. Even small traders have barcode readers these days (at least I know several).

But hey, that does not detract from the fact that I agree that advertising should not appear on toys (or in the middle of children's TV shows)!

Boxes yes (necessarily) ...

Barcodes I have never seen in our baker or our butcher ... and no it is not more expensive than in supermarkets ... Try only once you would be surprised! (well if there are any left in your neighborhood ... not sure).

Finally I quibble ...

It would actually not be very practical to print bar codes on croissants and not very useful to engrave a bar code in a freshly chopped steak :D

I am talking about small traders who sell barcode / manufactured products.

Ah you speak then ... franchisees shopi, spar et cie I suppose?

They "work" for the large distribution which, moreover, seeks to destroy them by making them apply "shit" prices to show that the "little ones" are shit!

In the CAP issue on purchasing power ( https://www.econologie.com/forums/pouvoir-d- ... t6311.html ) they said that their cooperative often sold them more expensive than the sale price in supermarkets ... How do you want them to live without passing for crooks? And hop of the profit for the large distribution ...

There remain the "Arab grocery stores" which fit a little less into this "pouri game" ...

No more :P :D

I can give you 2 examples of small barcode stores (but I will not give a name or address except possibly in MP, if necessary):
These are 2 organic products stores (not really the case for "bip" or "bipbip" that you mentioned). One is in a large suburban town. The other in the depths of the province / countryside.

Well, we're not going to spend the weekend there :D
I summarize my thought:
    - it doesn't shock me to sell a toy "cash register". Cashier isn't a dumber job than another.
    - It shocks me a lot more to fit marks with a jackhammer in the head of our children (case of the chainsaw and the brand of detergent that we saw in the photo). : Evil: And on that, we should legislate.

I have the impression that we are going around in circles ... and I agree with you but it would be even better if they offered BIO cash registers (in corn starch if possible !!) :)

: Mrgreen:

Besides, there are starch toys? It must surely not pass the tests "go ahead and I suck you" Image

I agree with your rant on these disproportionate logos, on the other hand, the brand coup is nothing new.

Thirty years ago my sister was already playing market with a scale, a cash register - without brands that goes without saying. My passion was besides to devastate his "store" : Mrgreen:

On the other hand, the "windows" were filled with (very) mini packaging with clearly legible brands. Nothing new then, except that the logos have gotten bigger ... Maybe the sight is declining among children today? : Lol:
