> Why is this relevant?

I don't try to stereotype, but i've heard that the culture in India encourages getting free stuff or paying as little as possible to get the most stuff.

Who doesn't want free things or "discounted" or BOGO or "Going out of business sales".

The linked article has nothing to do with the discussion here. You are just projecting something else here.

It has a lot to do, he's talking about the performance accounting on gas stations.

Yes, gas stations make low margin on gasoline.

Also, gas station owners in the < 15 location category are cheating taxes to get there.

Think of them as Mini-Bezoses. :)
