In fairness, the OP stated that two pounds of cookies costs $29.99.
So, really, the bakery is making money at $7.00 per pound. Much of
the price of the first pound is tied up in promotion, shipping,
etc., with a small incremental cost for the second pound.

Don't get me wrong -- I agree with you completely in that people
don't always consider the extra costs (staffing, promotion, boxes,
etc.); nor do they tend to value their labor at all. I wouldn't
spend $22.99 for a pound of cookies, though. Probably not even
$7.00.
