tall, I agree its a common practice among small as well as big shops. You say supermarkets dont need to resort to such tricks.
Just think of this as a hypothetical situation. There are at least ten cashier counters in ANY big supermarkets. If each of them gave 50 gums each a day, that would be 500 gums or 250 riyals. Now multiply that by 30 days in a month and it'd be a whopping qr7500 at least, a month. I really really dont think ANY shopping mall in Qatar would say no to that sort of money, however much their turnover might be.
I gave this example because the numbers were easy to calculate. In reality isn't the numbers likely to be much more mammoth? I strongly feel so.
