minus-squareSnot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·9 months agoYeah grocery stores run on pencil-thin margins, and many of them rely on lines of credit to get through their day-to-day. Banks in this scenario would suddenly be unable to fulfill credit lines and now a grocery store is left unable to purchase goods to fill their store. It hurts anyone who eats fucking food which is all of us.
minus-squareBlue_Morpho@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoLines of credit are usually private net 30/60 agreements with suppliers, not through a bank. If a grocery store is operating under debt, it needs only raise prices to cover the difference. Not paying interest to banks would become a cost savings.
