Grocery stores are a low margin business. If you make selling shelf space illegal, they lose that revenue and will have to raise food prices to stay in business. This isn’t a good outcome. I also question if the shelves would even changes much. They will probably prioritize their high margin products, which doesn’t sound any better.
- phantasmish 10mo agoWhere does the money to pay for shelf space come from if not the money we pay for food?
- al_borland 10mo agoIn theory, sure. In practice, the food makers aren’t going to lower their prices to the stores, they will just stop paying the shelf fees.
