They pay more to Sysco for trade credit and delivery. When you buy at a restaurant depot type place, prices are similar to a Costco for unfinished cuts.

As for the supply of meat, expect that to change. In upstate NY most cuts of beef are gone and trimmed chicken is either not in stock or sold before noon.
