In 2018 a group of Valve staff tried to figure out just how efficient they were being—and found they were making more money per head than Apple, Facebook, and nearly every tech giant out there (www.pcgamer.com)

Sort of. Except all the shelves have weird lips on them to keep you from grabbing the product easily, you kinda have to wrangle each item. Also it's layout and design is archaic and super hard to navigate. And on every aisle there's these little 3 inch steps that you have to go up and down and constantly trip on, or your cart gets stuck on them and you have to lift it up or drop it down. And then if you do manage to buy things, their support is terrible; at the other store if you need help cooking they have a 24 hour recipe hotline to help you out, but this one promises the same, but you actually wind up on hold for hours half the times you call.

So they got tons of free samples, but all their products are kinda a nightmare.

~~Don't forget that each of their checkout lanes say "1 item or fewer"~~

Apparently they have a cart now

They actually have a cart now. Took them many years but they finally managed.
