The wholesaler cannot markup execessively because the independent food stores might beat them.
To save money, I either purchase from the whosaler or wait for specials.
You can save money also by making your own pancakes, cookies and breads. Or simply cooking your own food. A deli sandwich or fast food package is at least $10 these days.
I tend to shop the stores where markup is about 33%. You can figure it out by comparing to amazon.
Those places that we call exoensive markup by 80% or even 100%.
Well One time the question arose about a computer which I purchased and I was able to produce a 5 year old invoice from amazon as proof and the email from the freight forwarder to show payment of vat, etc...
I say this because nowadays it is not paperwork only. Those emails with invoices and receipts stay there forever.
Also those notification emails for your credit card can be useful to show you paid your bill.
I drove by a setup they had outside mall at marathon. There were 3 tables. Three workers in medical scrubs were gathered chatting at one table. No customers/patients waiting.
No mention that when the merchant landed cost increases, so does the controlled price.
The greatest shortcoming of humanity is is inability to understant percentages.
Tho the insurance industry and car industry are biased because of the price controls levied on them.
The price control is the bare minimum to keep a belly full, not much nutrition, but a belly full: tuna rolls which is bread, tuna and mayonnaise and mustard.

Insensitive asses caused a lot of people to lose jobs, life, health.
It is sad. But covid is not ebola.
Since now people cannot discriminate on the basis of race, sex, gender. They have to improvise by creating an underclass of unvaccinated.
Right now in some countries the number of vaccinated with covid is greater than unvaccinated.
Here it will never happen because they keep the vaccinated deaths a secret.

D Rolle is a pen name. This letter was written by Karen.
I wear a mask, but after 2 years of use the elastic is very loose, so it is just nose decoration to keep Karen away.
