I plan to go to a wholesaler to the restaurant trade to check on food prices, but wouldn't be able to buy anything there so the wholesale prices are meaningless to me.<br /><br />Costco takes a fixed profit and treats its workers well, but I don't know about the others. I boycott Walmart because of the way it treats workers, many of whom must apply for food stamps to put food on their tables.Victor E.
