> Finally, in grocery retail - once you have the order and deliver, you DO get paid regardless of whether product sells. It's been quite a long time since I worked in the grocery business, but I don't think this is accurate. A lot of vendors stock their products themselves or use food brokers that do it, and they are on the hook for expired and returned product. And there was a shitload of bribery and corruption happening to steal shelf space and end unit space from competitors. It's a surprisingly cut throat business.
