Because it is, people can spend their money however they like and they can value convenience or have any other reason to shop there. Also being old doesn't make them incapable of deciding where to shop.
when you see someone being told "this is $76" and they only have $70, and they have to decide - while I'm waiting behind them - what to put back... the thought of telling them "it's 40% cheaper 1 mile from here" crosses my mind. This exact scenario has played out in front of me 3 times in 2021.
And they tell you that they went there but the parking lot is too big, the carriages are too hard to push, they can't really stand in line a lot because their knee hurts them, and more.
I don't think people understand that sometimes your body makes savings not a savings. You don't miss good health till its gone, or the ability to do things with it.
