"Because they're communists"
Is this also in reference to the bazinga-powered on-site price gouging that's starting to come into vogue in numerous grocery stores?
Opposing that makes you a communist. If that was so, that'd be a lot of new communists. 
Grocery stores operate on razor thin margins
Even if they are somebody in the supply chain most definitely isn't operating on razor thin margins.

Despite operating on razor-thin margins they still make record profits after throwing out half their inventory every day
Love worrying about "loss prevention" while half of the fresh stock we have is thrown into the trash.
exactly, its financial engineering. that way they avoid paying taxes meanwhile their offshore companies get insane margins.
Weird how grocery stores run on "razor-slim margins" but still keep pulling in record profits year after year, wonder what that's about.
The corporate entity that owns the liability associated with food sales has razor slim profit margins, but the other corporate entities involved in grocery sales that exist to siphon off surplus value in more tax efficient ways are making fat stacks!

Communism is when you oppose tiny cameras on the shelf that use ai to scan your naked body and determine based on how shitty your clothes are how much you're going to pay

Makes you wonder about what the other billionaires say and believe behind closed doors.
"Maybe we should make food cheaper?"

A store comes out with a surge pricing scheme and suddenly the "public discourse" is that telling grocery stores what to do is communism.
This is by design. This is PR to get ahead of the lawsuits coming.
the liberal National Convention in 1793 implementing the General Maximum: Communism
the United States Food Administration in 1917: Communism
301 AD, Roman Emperor Diocletian writing the Edict on Maximum Prices: you better goddamn believe that was Communism
If I go to the rich people grocery store I see the same items for $1-2 more at least.
How else are they going to keep the poors out?
Everything I don't like is communist!
All that and more on a billiard ball brains guide on politics
in high school there was this new kid who had just moved from central europe. she told my friend, who told me and the rest of our friends, that back home there were laws about the price of bread and milk. they had to be cheap so that everyone could afford to eat nutritious food. Honestly I remember the expression on my friends face, very serious, when sharing this. it was a very important piece of information.
none of us had ever heard the concept of price controls before. but damn that's obviously a good idea. we talked about how it wasn't really fair to celiacs and vegans and hypothosized how that could be addressed. but in general the idea of a government making such an intervention was a real brainwave.
it's a pretty boring story but somehow was formative on me and I think of it all the time. especially when i do groceries.

american grocery stores are "hyper-competitive"

so are they considering price-controls? Or did the right invent this themselves?
Price controls to benefit consumers = communism
Price controls to benefit producers = the free market in action
with the Hank Venture level of processing reality:"I think they're drunk on rum...because they're pirates!"
Schroedingers profit margins lmao
They won't do it so it's not even worth thinking about.
