      They’re insanely profitable.

      Almost as if exploitation is necessary to succeed in today’s economy.

      They are the very worst kind of economic vulture.

      Edit: By which I mean that they take advantage of those who cannot afford transportation to stores with more variety, and are too cash-poor to save by buying in bulk. So they offer high-priced but affordable small portions of often inferior products to people who lack the economic freedom to buy better.
