Gawd did I ever fight Brenda over this. I kept prices at the hotel the same over Semana Santa as throughout the rest of the year. For the first time in four years we had +40% occupancy for seven weeks. The NET result was a 23% gain including housekeeping deductions.
Mexican small business simply does not employ educated management. They rely on tradition, custom, and gossip.
An aborrotes on every corner was due to the level of convenience of shoppers who walked to the store every day. They paid about 20% more for spot orders instead of bulks sales. The price plus making a profit had to be passed on to customers. They hung onto fruit and vegetables until they were not only unattractive, but repulsive.
The traditional Mexican restaurant used to offer amazingly complex menus. Unfortunately 90% of the meals listed were never really available. The menus expressed what the owners would have -liked- to offer.
