First of all $100,000 is significantly more than any Walgreens can reasonably produce. That is $70 per minute assuming 24hr/day operation. Most Walgreens have at most two registers open, and the average purchase, which takes more than a minute is probably lower than $30. Then they have operating expenses on top of that, and the margins are very slim, usually single digit. Remove $1000 per day and you might very well make it a loss.
