    The other commenter brought up Kroger. A grocery store that operates on a 1.5% profit margin.

    That’s not true

    I don’t know what to tell you. 1.5% profit margin is razor thin. There isn’t anything to cut for the private stores or the government stores.

        Kroger is a public company, the presented numbers are their financials. Everything you mention is part of how they squeeze out a measly 1.5% profit margin. There isn’t much to cut for the private store or the government store.
