This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Retail stores also take like 30% usually. People don't give a shit because it's not unusual and any option that takes less is worse in some way.
Retail stores make way less than that. Their margins are razor thin.
You're thinking of net profit margin. Gross profit margin will vary by item but 30% is a pretty normal amt there.
The most specific number I could find is best buy averaging 22-23%. Which is a bit lower but same ballpark.
