[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 800134, member: 3162"] It was happening left and right back in the day. Maw and Paw groceries were buying stock and selling it for way under the cost of replacing it. I was stocking in such a small grocery. The owner (Paw) told me to add 15 cents to everything above the suggested retail. I did. A month later that still wasn't enough. Can you tell how this also leads to inflation? The lady there (Maw) started ordering less stock but had to keep a closer watch on what merchandise was needed or sold. Large stores that can hedge the wholesale prices and move a lot of volume are not as susceptible. For the small folks, a bag of sugar setting on your shelf for a month is doing nothing but losing money. Multiply that by hundreds of items on the shelves. [/QUOTE]
