Drabble: Their food prices are so cheap, I don't know how Bulk Club makes any money!

Actually, Bulk Club makes money by leveraging its suppliers into selling for very little. This, in turn, forces those suppliers to set up their manufacturing plants overseas. Meanwhile, other retail and grocery stores have to slash their prices so they can compete with Bulk Club. To do this, they cut their employees' wages. Even after they do this, many of them go out of business. Bulk Club then hires some of its suppliers' and competitors' former employees at reduced wages and hours. Those employees then can't afford to shop anywhere besides Bulk Club, the aisles of which they wander while wondering how it could make any money.

But, right, big bottle of antacid. It's funny cause it's true!
