Why is this one failing?
Do you think that PXs and Commissaries make money?
I can tell you they do not. After I retired from the Marines I spent a bit under 2 years as the Produce Manager for a Commissary. Went there after I left WalMart and before I started my current job.
The first month I did our monthly inventory with the store manager and at the end of it I was told "you made too much money", words I had never heard while working at WalMart that is for sure. I was not allowed to have more than 5 percent plus or minus at the end of the month. I was told we were not there to make money but to provide a service to the member of the Military that shopped there. And this was just on the cost of the produce, this did not include any labor which was not factored into the equation at all.
