So with that mindset, of course business is going to try and maximize profit, and leverage every advantage they can.

Adding another zero to the bank account is akin to my friend who owns a buffet restaurant(and they serve excellent food).
MANY patrons wind up going to the parking lot to puke their guts up...they simply cannot control their intake and ingest so much food to the point of exploding.
For those who truly love money...they will NEVER have enough.
