Is this also in reference to the bazinga-powered on-site price gouging that's starting to come into vogue in numerous grocery stores?

Opposing that makes you a communist. If that was so, that'd be a lot of new communists. sicko-wistful

    Grocery stores operate on razor thin margins

    Even if they are somebody in the supply chain most definitely isn't operating on razor thin margins.

      I heard the same bullshit about game corporations, the kind that use double-residency trickery to pay no taxes and then get a tax refund, such as Activision-Blizzard.

      Despite operating on razor-thin margins they still make record profits after throwing out half their inventory every day

        Love worrying about "loss prevention" while half of the fresh stock we have is thrown into the trash.

      exactly, its financial engineering. that way they avoid paying taxes meanwhile their offshore companies get insane margins.
