Always blaming those people.

Not that the executives sucked out all the money with their elaborate compensation.

Think about this: it’s a 99¢ store. If every item is sold for one dollar (rounding up), then how much did the corporation pay for that item? Fifty cents?

Tens of millions of items will have to be stolen to equate to the salaries of the top executives.
