Information asymmetry and lack of regulation allow bad businesses to stay in business. I’m sure you can recall quite a few if you sit down for a minute.

Also poverty (lack of options). Think of how the 70% of the population who barely gets by would read your comment on being cheap.

Which ones can you recall? If you can "recall" them, why do you still do business with them?

Don't know about the US, but I think most people there shop at Walmart or Costco. Seems to work fine.
