Then I think the parent comment lacks an understanding of the difference between gross and net margins.

That's an uncharitable reading of their comment.

It's the only reasonable reading if someone is dismissing 2% loss due to theft for a retailer.

I wasn’t dismissing theft and supermarkets do not have 2% of their stock lost through theft (if 1 in 50 items were already stolen then that supermarket is dysfunctional at preventing theft).

Thus what you’re describing simply has no basis in reality.

Furthermore, you’ve completely misread every single comment in this thread and taken the least charitable conclusion from them.
