Did your little son seeking to satisfy his curiosity pick up that toy in the store and damage it? If so then you the Florida consumer contributed to the rising store prices that are prompting increased grumblings from all citizens At least that's the way Doyle Conner commissioner of agriculture and consumer services saw it Friday CONSUMERS do things which unintentionally cause prices to rise Conner said He released a list of factors by which he said the average consumer can rate himself on the degree to which he or she contributes to the problem For example Conner said that "on the average store personnel spend approximately two hours labor daily replacing merchandise consumers have thoughtlessly misplaced "Some cases of misplaced items include such things as a change of mind rummaging through stacks of merchandise for 'just the right thing' putting things back with no regard to uniformity" Conner said Conner said that "businesses have to compensate for the huge loss they incur through damaged merchandise and equipment "When the consumer questions the use of prepackaged foods he should also stop to think how many tomatoes or other foods he has pinched Other causes of damage include soiling of garments or loss of buttons belts and hangtags loss of instruction sheets to appliances or broken and scratched equipment toys broken up by curious children" Conner said Tamiami Is Initial Airport Site Press Wirephoto DANGEROUS FIRE rages at a butane storage tank farm north of
