In my experience, this is true for just about every type of store. Especially grocery stores. I live on Federal in Denver, and the selection relative to some of the wealthier suburbs is atrocious. The past few years have made me wonder who gets the job of ensuring poor neighborhoods get screwed in the face of nationwide shortages of items.

Try running a store in a poor neighborhood and it will soon be obvious why they are the way they are.

Fine, the pursuit of profit over all else forces people to make decisions like screwing entire neighborhoods out of access to basic quality food and other goods.

Is that better?

Opening a store is not screwing entire neighborhoods.
