that other section of qataris mentioned at the end of the article are the qataris that will play an active role in the development of this country; i reserve a special kind of hatred for the qatar dealerships and their greedy policies; but i agree that the consumers play a huge role in emboldening the agencies and encouraging their behaviour; i remember people paying up to 700000 rials to be first in line when the nissan gtr was launched in 2007...the actual price was well under 400000 riyals...the toyota dealership won't even give you the part numbers for spare parts because they fear you will buy the parts much cheaper online and not pay the criminally high prices they charge; unless these monopolistic practices are not curbed, the business environment in qatar will never reach the sophistication of even dubai, let alone the rest of the world; they even monopolize the franchises of international brands so that no one else can compete with them; what are they scared of? that someone will do a better job? well then improve yourself you cowards and not shut others out of the market...its like usain bolt asking to be the only one allowed to wear running shoes and the others to wear lead shoes....face your competition, don't run from it...if any qatari reads this and wants to attack me for saying this, well my friend, i love you and this country more than you ever could and hate anyone or anything that holds it back from reaching its sky high potential...its a great country being held back by a few arcane policies and i wish for nothing more than to see qatar prove everyone wrong and succeed and become a truly developed nation..rant over..
