Often they'll have "loss leaders" that they don't make any money on, because they know once you're in the store you'll buy some other stuff that's heavily marked up. Commonly needed items like milk are almost always put in an inconvenient spot in the back of the store so you'll walk past other aisles and pick up stuff on the way. -- David Brodbeck, N8SRE '82 VW Diesel Westfalia '86 Volvo 240DL wagon |
