Makes sense since they don’t have the volume discounts available to larger chains but either way it’s poor people who end up hurt by this since they’re not usually the ones with Costco memberships.

Yes… but generally it’s less wealthy ppl (relative to larger competitors) who own these small shops & restaurants. Often these businesses are struggling as much as their patrons.
Also I’m not fully defending the business owners… I have witnessed many times “wealthy looking” or just “white” people being charged more 😂
No easy solution
Plus… the rents and taxes there ☠️☠️☠️
