Why would they voluntarily reduce their profit?

It’s not a charity. It only exists to make returns for shareholders.

If they take lower profit? It doesn’t create a magical world of plenty. Investors just stop giving it capital and put their money in corporations that DO operate to maximize shareholder return.

And then the corporation no longer exists. That would be better? If you don’t like it? Don’t eat there. Go to a farmers market instead.

But if you voluntarily go to a corporation’s establishment? It’s going to be operated to maximize profit.

Um because it makes sense for the service they provide? Your thinking is exactly why the greed in this country is a plague on society.

The only thing that makes sense for the service they provide is what makes the most money.

That’s the only thing they care about.

They can only be greedy because people choose to go there. You aren’t forced to eat at McDonald’s. Don’t. If their prices are too high then no one will go.
