I think you completely missed my point. What I am trying to say is that as a retailer if they only make 3¢ on a $1 bag of chips then they are buying them from the wrong place.

Me- or anybody for that matter, can buy them for 55¢ from a grocery store. If I owned a store of my own I could sell them for $1, and make 45¢ profit on each bag. Basically I am calling bullshinguard on the guy who claimed that gas stations only make 3¢ on a bag of chips; because I know what retail is on them and I know what the public's wholesale price is on them.
