In theory, you will have a big follower of Friday shoppers. (sort of like PB)
The shop will see business tilt towards Friday heavily. Then depends on which day the shop get fresh supply the profitability will be severely impacted.
The shoppers will feel cheated once they know Friday special is there and eventually gave up buying on other days.
Then you start to have shopper loose out because there are limited supply and the disappointed shoppers never returned to the shop (sounds familiar?)......
My point is, you can extend the scenario indefinitely. Stick to the simple principles of the original discussions is better than extend the theoretic discussion. Once you go off course to argue your point there are endless possibilities and discussion will just dilute the original topic. Let us stick to PB and PB only. Thanks.
