I fully support capped CEO pay.

I fully think large grocery chains are screwing customers.

But having worked at a few smaller grocery stores, the margins are absurdly thin. At one 6ish store semi-local store I worked for we made roughly 3 cents on the dollar. That included various fees and labor, but once you factor in theft and chargebacks and bounced checks and such - it could get even thinner some months.

Granted, I assume the megacorp ones maybe negotiate / strongarm for higher margins? So fuck 'em.
