There's definitely a limit with how hard big corps can fuck people on pricing. Even whole foods/amazon got in trouble for incorrectly weighing and overcharging people for prepared foods.
It's mostly when they break the illusion of being "fair" like in the whole foods example or when someone price gouges during a natural disaster and enough people draw attention to it.
Kind of like with other injustices, the system will only make a token adjustment on the release valve when the pressure builds high enough.
Kraft in Canada wants $6.50 for a box of their vegan mac & cheese.
