    I am curious if this happens in your countries. There are these businesses that sell stuff from local entrepeneurs, the catch is that the business charges a rent fee to showcase your products and also take a cut when they sell something 😂 funnily enough they are called “collectives”

      This is at least how hairdressing and tattooing work for a lot of merchants in Amerika.

      If you go to a hairdresser, more than likely they’re a contractor renting part of the building whenever they have appointments, rather than being directly employed by the building’s owners. Much of the reason prices are so exorbitant for these two services – you’re not only paying for the service, but for the servicer’s rent.

      Can’t say I’ve heard of such practice, but that doesn’t mean it’s not present (given everything else). So thank you for the new avenue of research
