We invented this thing a long time ago that we call warehouses. We store stuff in them, and when needed, we ship from them to stores. Warehouses are no fun anymore, everyone wants things shipped overnight etc. So they outsource their distribution.
Oh and greed? Yup. Look at the profit margins for the Exxon this year. For any of the Fortune 500. Last year and this year will be banner years for big corporations that have raised prices either directly or through "shrinkflation." They're loving it, while consumers get the shaft, and the Fed gets the blame.
