Grocery stores buy from different wholesalers that the restraunts buy from.
The manufactures that supply both, package it differently.
The grocery store gets Hamburgers packaged in boxes of 4 or 6 that are brightly colored. The restaurants get Hamburgers that are in white cardboard boxes of say 36.
The grocery stores and the wholesalers they buy from are seeing their sales double because people are eating at home. The restaurants and their wholesalers are full of supplies and no customers.
or
People in suits buy super tankers of oil for one price and hope that when they arrive they can sell it for a profit. But when the tanker arrives not only does no one need it, but there is no place to off load it.
So the man in the suit is now scratching his ...... and paying a tanker to sit there until he finds someone to buy it.
Every day that passes costs him a nickel out of the dollar he hoped to make.
So the man in the suit decides to sell his dollar of oil for 95 cents rather than have to pay 5 or 10 cents to store it in hopes to get a dollar later.
