I sometimes think those places don't make money either

stupid thing to say, but they sell everything so cheaply, you wonder how they do it

I start to wonder if that's the point. That they just tick over from month to month, and as long as people keep coming through the doors, they'll keep selling stuff cheap and paying their staff

And whilst that goes on, and it's regular all year round, the reality of it will never be questioned (almost like a legal ponzi scheme)
