I'm not so sure about the grocery store absorbing the cost. Not that I
know any better, but I 'bet' the grocery store keeps tabs and deducts
the cost of the one 'unit' against its next delivery from the vendor.
Same thing goes for any other products I'd imagine. I know there are
some instances where a retail/grocery store will absorb costs, but
perhaps not when it comes to national brands and the like (?).

Sky, who knows nearly nothing about merchandizing.
