Refugees and migrants didn't put up your rent, greedy landlords and property developers did. They didn't double the price of your grocery shopping, the supermarkets did. They didn't hike your energy prices, the oil & gas companies did.

like don't get me wrong the guys who run the big chain supermarkets are evil greedy capitalists, but they objectively suck ass at it. it's a really tough business to make money in within my lifetime.

a weird thing about this discourse is that sometimes people will be like "ah yes those greedy supermarkets grabbing ever increasing profits" and tbh its like one of the least-profitable retail sectors in the country, just three decades in a row of getting annihilated by costco and walmart
Also, the margins are thin (like 1% thin) which makes them vulnerable. In New York, they have to compete with more profitable businesses for real estate space (and they require more space which is hard to find)

I’m going to plan how I can buy my food from local shops, fishmongers (if I can find one) and farms. And stop buying from Supermarkets. I’m going to move to more veg (long overdue). I’m so pissed off with the greedy supermarkets. I exclude Waitrose at this time.

American supermarkets often operate on wafer-thin margins. Companies like Kroger and Albertsons collected just 1% of their sales in operating profits last year

When will they get it into their thick skulls that the problem is not immigration. We can start with Thatcher selling off housing stock and Privatising all Public Services. Then we have greedy banks, supermarkets, billionaires, greedy landlords, austerity & Brexit FFS

The Branston 'sausages' in their beans are much nicer than the Heinz ones. I would never have known this if the greedy bastard supermarkets hadn't jacked up the prices of any vaguely 'premium' brand.

“The price of apples has shot up in the past year because of supply shortages..but the major supermarkets took a big chunk of the profit..the price paid for apples in the shops grew at a significantly higher rate than the price that was paid to the grower”

Just nonsense fuelled by the billionaire owned media, Lord Rothermere tax exile via the Daily Mail etc. Problem too many brain dead people worried about 20% of their income and not the 80% taken from them through greedy profiteers, in energy, supermarkets, water, banks.
