Bookstore Prices

A long, long time ago, when I was in Primary School, I was able to go to the Bookstore with 2000 pesos and be able to buy anything. Those were the good old days when prices were low and stayed the same. It is a shame that they have increased a lot in the last few years.

For example, pizza. I remember that it cost 1000 pesos, and today it is 2500 more or less. I mean, not even an oil barrel increases that much in such short time. That is an absurd hyperinflation that must be stopped.

The Bookstore is a place where many students buy their snacks (a vital energy source for learning minds). It is unfair that some of them have to pass hunger just because the Bookstore prices are TOO DAMN HIGH! To fight it, I propose a boycott of all the Bookstore's products until they start to lower their prices.

Although it may seem like a lot, that is not the only problem that the Bookstore has. It lacks two major things that every store must have: organization and space. It is an extremely small area in which students struggle to enter and leave. This is really interesting because the bookstore wins a lot o money, and it seems that they don't use it for a good cause. They should expand their space and offer a greater variety of products.

It should also be much more organized. I mean a metal concert is more organized than that store. There is serious pushing and shoving occurring within its walls, and in a space that small (around 6 square meters) more than 15 people risk their lives.

It is because of all these reasons that I propose the boycott. It will make the Bookstore realize that they are not the only ones that influence decisions, that they cannot rip us off every time we buy a piece of candy, that we have a voice! So join the boycott and make a change.
