Look at it this way
If they don’t, then they will not make enough money to restock at the new price when their existing stock is depleted, leading them to buy less and creating short term shortages at retail point of sale.
So yes, old stock will be sold at the new price.
Still disingenuous, you bought it old price, sell it at old markup price not new one.

u have never worked in or owned a business that buys\sells commodities have u ? ... if something jumps as high as 33% u expect d business owner to simply sell out d little remaining current stocks at old price but when he has to put 33% more for d very same amt of goods then where that extra $ coming from ? , he hadda jes dig deeper in he pocket right to put out more to make same profit margin .. if u dont know, groceries work with a minimal profit margin hoping to make it back up by selling volume, if 1 item from a dozen comes defective & u cant get it exchanged with supplier, gets damaged somehow with workers or customers or gets stolen thats ur whole profit margin gone right there ...

Is anything unexpected by the 1 percent?
Only the 1% does watch international news ? Wheat is up all over, we have no stockpiles.

This woman 2 or 3 cashier lines across with the trolley full of bags of flour, they refused her after the limit.... she had the audacity to ask the people behind her if they can put it on their membership card for her. Some did it for her, the idiots. The cashier should have refused to cash it, but she just working there she doesn't get paid enough for this bullsshit.
I want to know after those finish what she will do for the next 5 years as flour keeps increasing. The greedy, selfish mentality of hoarders. We saw it at the start of Covid and they're still around.

Starbucks at the Massey grocery by IAM was hiring today or at least they were recruiting so the increased traffic could be folks applying for a job.
