Ya that’s crazy! I think here in the US, the profit margin is not really that great. I’ve heard checkers and baggers complain when the grocery store had a 100,000 day. I know what it’s like to run a business. Clerks don’t understand net vs gross.
I’ve looked in the dumpster out back at all the food they have to throw away, I’ve paid a commercial light bill on a waaaay smaller building before, I’ve watched people steal stuff from there, I’ve counted the employees that work there and multiplied by minimum wage. A 100,000 gross day is nothing to brag about because they are not NETTING much.
I can see prices going up by 50%, that’s kinda just consumer price index. Certainly not +50% profit though! Not in this economy..
