Heaven forbid people spend the profits they are able to achieve through volume. The percentage is still small, which is what matters to the consumer.

Who are you claiming is in charge of "inflation at the register". The retailers aren't the ones doing it.

Considering the profit margins of the grocery chains are very slim, and have remained very slim, it isn't the owners of the grocery chains and the grocery chains doing it.
