I think your reasoning is unfounded.
Safeway's doesn't have a huge margin, but so what? They employ people directly and indirectly: cashiers, truckers, stock clerks, people who work in canneries, farmers, chemists who formulate fertilizers, etc. It isn't as if a dollar spent at Safeway's ends up in an incinerator while a dollar spent at Apple mates with another dollar to make change.
