              Someone should sue them, then! Let’s see how he feels when someone lobs a law bomb at Loblaws’ Bob Loblaw.

              It doesn’t matter what their profit is if their margin is only 2%.

                  It doesn’t, because you still have a tiny margin. Get one bad year and your business will be wiped out.

                    Not when the profit is billions, Loblaws could run at at a sizeable loss for the next decade and still be fine.
