Most industrial places are really not as well maintained as they should be.

Costco makes zero dollars on anything they sell.. ZERO.. which is why they are able to offer such low prices, they literally sell items for the wholesale prices they pay … the only money Costco makes is on selling memberships .



Source: I worked for a company that sold many products in Costco.. and unless theyve changed their business model in the last 4 or 5 yrs, what i said above is 100% accurate .

Soylent Green is…. Well it’s….

No, I just can’t tell you. Well I can, but I probably shouldn’t. I don’t think you’re ready.

Democrats are better for oil production companies than Republicans. They want to reduce drilling which reduces supply causing an imbalance of supply and demand driving up the price of oil. Which oil production companies love! Not necessarily good for us consumers though.

The ice machine is the dirtiest thing in the restaurant cause it is never drained and cleaned. I’m not in the industry, just saw a news report 15 years ago about how much bacteria and nastiness are in them on the reg

Movie theaters make most of their money from concessions. Almost all the ticket sale money goes to the movie studios

Catfish processors were coordinating to fix prices in the 90s. Several plants got fined millions for it on fixing prices for large contracts to Chicago companies.

What was never known is they did it for government contracts too and one guy steered the investigation by the feds toward the fixing on private companies and was able to hide the govt contract fixing. Had they found out about the govt contracts it would have been much worse. Guy is dead now and the biggest offenders (delta pride before they sold, farm fresh, southfresh and southern pride) are no longer in business so doesn’t matter now

The most profitable part of a car dealership is service and parts. They make money on cars but most of the profitability is due to service. That's why so many smaller dealerships went away. You have to have a dealership with a dozen service bays or so to make money and get people in and out. An oil change and routine maintenance and repairs.

Selling you a car is about getting you to keep coming back for service and repairs.

Microsoft maintains the functionality in new versions of its products, but they move things around and change keyboard shortcuts to justify new training curriculum. Why? Because Microsoft-certified training facilities pay a massive royalty to be Microsoft-certified. It’s a huge revenue stream for Microsoft.


Oracle is the best in the world at creating gotcha situations with regards to licensing. Audit findings and subsequent fines are a huge revenue stream for Oracle. It’s a considerable percentage of their annual revenue. You can easily become a hostage rather than a customer if you don’t understand their game.

All industries float on a sea of bullshite, but the liquor industry might be the bullshittiest of all. I watch all the threads on these boards waxing poetic (and supposedly knowledgeable) about all the differences drinkers ascertain from different bottles and varieties and laugh at all the certainty people think they have over detectable differences.

In fact, the industry is MUCH closer to the Simpsons Duff production line:



...than to some highly refined and differentiated product offering.
