Oh Lordy the evil gentiles..Wegmans used to have Lox or smoked salmon in their breakfast bar. All items are $8.95 a pound..bacon, eggs, potatoes, even fruit well my uncle would just load up on smoked salmon for $8.95 a pound because it was over $20 a pound by the deli and he ruined it because they removed the smoked salmon. It was what is known in retailing as a loss leader.
And this uncle has a quarter million dollar plane and a couple shopping centers but is super frugal. He complained about the pours a local wine bar served recently and they do a standard 5 ounce pour but the glasses for red wine are large.
