Economic excuses for obvious greed? Get a grip.

No. As I mentioned, often times excess goods can, and should, be given to indigent groups that are not active marketplace participants. The Costco example seems silly, and it's unfortunate that the needy will not be given that food.
However, I am not justifying Costco's specific action. I am instead taking exception with your repeated crucifixion of "greed' when you're connecting the entire picture with the consequences of your outrage.
