# ALTERNATIVE NAME 1: Statement 1 - No, supermarkets should not be legally required to charge the same price for the same product, unless the products are branded. This is because supermarkets are businesses and will lose money if they have to lower their prices, especially as they may need to increase them later to compensate. This should not apply to certain categories, including own-brand foods.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - No, supermarkets should not be legally required to charge the same price for the same product, unless they are branded. This is because supermarkets are businesses and will lose money if they have to lower their prices, especially as they may need to increase them later to compensate.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - No, supermarkets should not be legally required to charge the same price for the same product, unless it is branded, due to the nature of a supermarket being a business. The process above shows how an initial view was formed, then critiqued, and then improved upon until a final view was reached that could be shared by all participants.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - No, supermarkets should not be legally required to charge the same price for the same product. This is because supermarkets are businesses and will lose money if they have to lower their prices, especially as they may need to increase them later to compensate.
