Well, you know, we're in the fresh food business, basically.

And, you know, it ebbs and flows all the time.

You know, it could be bad weather in some places.

There could be a drought out in the Midwest.

And that all affects food prices.

So one of the things, look, we operate on very thin margins in the food business, all supermarkets, too.

And, you know, when something like this comes up, like the tariffs, when they hit us, now we got the fuel surcharges that are hitting us right now.

We try to just eat it for as long as we can, you know, and just hold on.

I grew up in this business.

I've been doing it 50 years.

I grew up on the floor here and

I got to think about the people pushing the shopping carts around the store.

You know, I want to think like a customer.

And they're fed up right now with any, their food bill right now is up to their chin.

I got to hold it as long as I can, but I can't do it forever.

Okay, the suppliers don't win.

The ranchers don't win.
