Co-Ops are shops where the customers are also members and profits are returned to those members by way of a dividend. The more you spend, the more you get back. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 6:27 pm The age of the shopping mall and motorcar have largely rendered redundant these kinds of small, community-based co-operatives. Here in Australia they're basically extinct; a few still hang on in Britain but dwindling membership means they no longer hand out "dividends" as generously as they used to. The tokens generally date from the late 19th to mid 20th century. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
