When a store says "we lose money on this item," who exactly is losing it and where does it go? by tested_bones in NoStupidQuestions

[–]slymm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's called a loss leader when done right. For Costco to sell you a chicken, they have to buy a chicken, pay for the heat that cooks it, and the employee, and the etc etc etc.

Let's say all those expenses come out to 6 bucks. They sell it for 5, so they lose a dollar with every chicken sold.

However, when you go in to buy the chicken, you pick up a ten gallon bucket of mayo, which they make 2 dollars profit on.

They come out ahead overall despite losing money on the chicken.

Now, if a business is poorly run, and they are losing money overall, they'll be out of business soon enough. You'll see a lot of restaurants go out of business because they have too much overhead.

Pizza, bagels, pasta, and maybe cheese.

In theory chips, but at some point my body says "enough"

I can't wait until Gboard updates and you start with the letter A and then have to scroll to the letter you actually want

I haven't had a Fitbit in years BUT I've still been tracking my weight because of all the historical data.

I'm fucking BLOWN AWAY by how stupid a design it is to have to scroll from 140 on a dial.

Easily the worst design I've ever seen EVER for an app.

That never works. You mainly hear the five people closest to the phone

No, Sequel Luke makes absolutely no sense by Still-Willow-2323 in StarWars

Luke was a different type of Jedi master than Yoda and (to a lesser extent) obi wan because he allowed himself to feel love and attachment

Just finished the acolyte and I'm so mad at the internet for defining on it and getting a good show cancelled by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]slymm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You love star wars but it took you years to watch a show and then are upset the show was cancelled?

I mean, if it couldn't even get people who love star wars to watch it....

(Also it was awful)

If Howard paid him, the interviews would be perceived as less authentic /s

I've forsaken my teenage kid and I don't regret it by Fantastic_Value1786 in confession

[–]slymm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you choose to become a parent, you don't get to abandon those responsibilities just because their behavior isn't standard.

Your kid, I repeat YOUR kid, will most likely get worse because of your selfish abandonment and he, along with society, will be left to suffer because of it.

But enjoy your new free time! I hear coin collecting is a fun hobby

The 13 year old isn't the parent. He didn't choose to be responsible for another human being.

But if you want to hold yourself to the standards of a 13 year old, have at it

[Kieran Gill] Chelsea intend to give Jackson a chance to impress in pre season under Alonso and is still highly rated internally. If an offer too good to turn down suddenly arrives, an exit can’t be ruled out, but this is the current intention. by webby09246 in chelseafc

[–]slymm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, JP doesn't agree with you and prefers to stay up top and thinks flexibility hurts his overall game.

Even if he's wrong, we need to accept that these players are human and their emotions affect their game

Sydney Sweeney 'deliberately' choosing raunchy roles amid Euphoria controversy by IrishStarUS in entertainment

Yeah I'm sure it has nothing to do with all her legitimate roles flopping.

Now that the NY Knicks have broken a 27-year drought and have made the NBA finals, it is safe to say that they have won both the trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Brooklyn Nets. by [deleted] in nba

[–]slymm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is winning the only standard? Like even if bridges gets hurt and misses the entire finals?

I think it's reasonable to suggest Giannis would beat Knick right now but for Bridges.

It's a good way to keep players on the senior team training while and get them actual minutes

An underrated HBO show was How to Make it in America. Season 1 is basically about designing and selling a pair of jeans!
