And just a thought
How do people buy with a warehouse plug ? Damn that's ILEGAL , like so ilegal that could get you in some serious troubles
As for example, no matter what enters the country trough an economic reason (lets say supply contract) needs to go trough dutys and customs, so they need to have an inventory, and that same inventory is the one that need to get in the warehouse and so to say to the customers/consumers, so let's say that your plug tells you that bla bla i got them , come by bla bla bla, pay them in cash, bla bla bla, you'll be breaching the market and the taxes, the VAT couldn't be charged, cause the warehouse isn't allowed to do such buy/sell activities, because otherwise you'll stealing out of the inventory, which would mean in the impossibility of paying taxes because you wouldn't have the product in the quantities that entered to the country, therefore the company could be out of the market for evasion or another figure that protects the market ... and well Adidas isn't a small brand
Even though I know that the managers and other high "officials" get an alternate invoice whenever they want to buy something, but not any guy get one of those ...
