In fact, supermarkets pass so much of the savings back that their margins are razor-thin - only 1 to 3 percent - so to make a profit, they must rely on extremely high turnover rates and keeping operating expenses low, for example, by not offering delivery for one.

Many people today do not enjoy grocery shopping, but the experience we have is still many times better than that of the past.  Gone are the days when consumers paid higher prices for the advantage of a painfully slow shopping experience. In addition to lower prices, supermarkets also offer shoppers added convenience and much quicker service.  In the old days, grocery shopping was quite a bit troublesome. Consumer-sized packages did not exist, so a clerk had to measure out the exact amount you needed for everything you bought. This system cost much labor and therefore was rather expensive. On top of that, the entire experience was extremely time-consuming as, much like buying meat at a butcher shop, the number of shoppers that a store could serve at the same time was limited by the size of its staff. The high labor costs and poor efficiency were quite a problem for both the industry and its public.  The supermarket is a large departmentalized retail store, offering "one-stop shop" convenience with housewares, magazines, beauty products, and much more in addition to the food items sold by traditional stores. Need soap to go with your newspaper and bread? The supermarket saves you time by providing all three items under one roof. Along with added convenience comes added efficiency.  Shoppers can now fetch what they want from shelves instead of waiting for service. This in turn reduces the need for additional staff, helping owners to cut costs greatly and to pass the savings back to the consumer. In fact, supermarkets pass so much of the savings back that their margins are razor-thin - only 1 to 3 percent - so to make a profit, they must rely on extremely high turnover rates and keeping operating expenses low, for example, by not offering delivery for one. The result is a quick and painless shopping experience with very reasonable prices.
