        Someone should sue them, then! Let’s see how he feels when someone lobs a law bomb at Loblaws’ Bob Loblaw.

            It doesn’t, because you still have a tiny margin. Get one bad year and your business will be wiped out.

              Not when the profit is billions, Loblaws could run at at a sizeable loss for the next decade and still be fine.

                No, it can’t. 4% loss will wipe out everything they’ve earned. That’s the problem with low margins.

                  Yes it can, they’ve been making billions in profits every year for years. Unless they are morons and frittered away the profits, they absolutely can run at a moderate loss for years.

                  Why are you defending billionaires?
