just a quick note from someone who has worked in a retail establishment: markup and profit are NOT the same thing.
as was mentioned above, the overhead (ie costs of the building, employees, insurance, etc) on a superstore amounts to a huge chunk of change. most of these stores, even those that do a very brisk business, wont even break even (on a monthly basis) until like the 23rd of the month.
i've seen some of the numbers on utiliy costs and they are staggering.
and finally, remember, ANY retail establishment is in business to make money, NOT to give you a great deal.
now, all that being said, the service plans usually are wasted money.
