People are upset that wages aren't keeping up with inflation, but profits are. The rest is bad expression of that idea.

Some businesses’ profits are keeping up with inflation, and some are not. Grocery stores sell relatively inelastic goods at already low profit margins, so there is not much room to not keep up with inflation. The other option for them would be going out of business.
