They always prepare more than the allotted amount based on demand to meet unanticipated fluctuations. Your spent dollars on meat per month are calculated into their spreadsheets. No amount of pretend justification liberates you from the consequences of your actions. If you did not buy meat, there would be (your consumption*1.25) less meat in the store on average. You are not buying overflow meat. They are producing your meat plus overflow.
Just for you.
You say that like the stores don't buy it all first.
You say that like the stores don’t buy that based on your meat-buying history.
Until any exchange can be made, who is to say, as far as they're concerned, I necessarily exist? As an individual, I'm an oddly specific expectation for them.
That’s completely untrue. At this point in your life you have an established set of purchasing locations and a purchase history. You’re discussing disingenuously for either the sake of arguing or because you don’t understand how the world works, either of which suggest pursuing this further is a waste of time and energy.
That's not even the only point I made in this reply chain; only one of them has gotten addressed.
