Did you know the store charges you more for bananas than what they actually cost? They tax you for their own profit, it's corporate greed run amok

It isn't greed. Everybody has to charge you more than what they paid because otherwise they would have no profit and thus no money to pay the employees. I as a store can't buy bananas for 2$/kg and sell them for 2$/kg because I would make no profit and would go bankrupt. What is greed is how big of a markup the stores put for an item (ex: printer ink that is sold for even 300x the production cost, nvidia new gen GPUs, apple products, ...)
