I doubt it. I think people kind of innately understand that grocery stores are a low margin business.

I’m highly conditioned to think my landlord is trying to screw me, however.

They've always been landlords. Nothing new there.

People who price gouge on things that you need to survive?

You hate the landlord because they charge too much for something you can’t do without. With food prices going up are you going to hate the grocery store too?

I mean, Kroger isn’t the only grocery gouging prices and we’re in a thread about the landlord analogy.

Last time I checked - you can't just take food without paying for it. I have a buddy who's tenant hasn't paid rent in 23 months and there's nothing he can do about it...

No, they’re not

The semicolon was the first sign of overthinking

Great point, I’ll be sure to keep your pedantic reply in mind before my next post

I am so lost....

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team.

Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!
