    That seemed a bit ridiculous, so I checked. You’re right, except it’s not just revenue, it’s profit. They make about $900k profit every minute.

              Just be racist to the cashier when purchasing the avocado and in their absolute distress, walk out with it without paying.

              Not sure if that’d be $2.40 or $4.80 but might be the cheaper way to fuel the addiction.

                Yeah, without paying it, so you save like 10 dollars by not paying for your shit, and then only have to pay 4.80 back in fines.

                Idk what labour laws they broke, but companies are always getting away with shit like this, or even if they’re penalised, they’re still left profiting from the crime.

                Hell I live in the Nordics with arguably one of the best labour protections in the world and like over half the jobs I’ve done have had the companies try to fuck me over with the compensation. From private people to large companies. Overtime, mandated breaks, whatever it may be.

                Fuck capitalism. (Love market economies though.)

        That is absolutely insane. Completely bonkers. They’re making more money in one day than most businesses have made over the course of the founder’s entire life, throughout the entire history of the world.
