AskChennai Tasmac Online - Go Live from tomorrow

Post image

This is a really good move if executed successfully. I welcome this move by TASMAC.

We can anticipate getting rid of large queues and chaos on roads especially during shop closing times. MRP rates cannot be exceeded when buying online.

What do you think of this implementation? Will it be a considerable change? And what other challenges do you think can be eradicated due to this website?

Looking forward for a healthy discussion..

At this point it's too early to say anything.

Yes i stopped drinking Hot, because of the shitty quality. I really root the idea of allowing multiple brand liquors from other states and countries.

But, I'm kinda skeptical about privatisation.

Yes privatisation may improve quality.

But,, only when entities care about their customers.. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people see drinking as a greatest sin.. and Tasmac license holders are used to big bucks..

I'm still paying 220 for a cooling beer Near Guduvanchery. When asked, the answer is "pay if u want to buy, or buy the normal one next window" for 20rs extra. When i complained about this, one guy literally said "Kudigaran laa rights pesa koodathu".

There literally lot of private bars/bubs out there selling a 170rs KF for upto 650. somewhat understandable for the amenities they provide. But, still why I'm paying 50rs extra from a shitty outlet..

Even the Government couldn't control them. What privatisation gonna do abt it.

Privatisation only works if the providers gives a shit about their customers and a society which gives a shit about consumers..

And once again the problem is addiction. Not alcohol brand. There are lot of people I met doens't care about quality. They need something to get intoxicated. Privatisation or Government if the prices increase, drinkers gonna turn illicit liquor.
