Depends what you mean by post-scarcity. For example, if supermarkets weren't as interested in profit, they might choose a lower price point which would allow them to sell "ugly" produce. I've seen many different estimates of how much produce is discarded for ugliness, but all indicate a large portion.

The knock-on effects of profit-seeking are large. And not all bad, of course.

Supermarkets make almost no profit. It’s people who want better looking fruit.

So how is it that there's such a large variation in the price of produce at different supermarkets?
