That probably depends on the company. Costco famously makes almost all of their operating profit on membership fees. Their margins on sales are razor thin, and in several notable cases (rotisserie chickens, hot dogs, etc) they actually sell at a loss because they refuse to raise prices in response to market conditions.

Sure. They’ll reduce prices, too.
