This seems like a parody of how Costcos in Mexico have a whole mob of customers come in at opening every day to fight over the pies & cakes, which all get immediately bought up, to be re-sold by individual slices at marked-up prices at local ~~bakeries~~ delis.

Wouldn't it take less time and money to just bake them? They're just pies. It's not like the recipes are secret. I could see a deli doing that but not a bakery.

If you already have the whole bakery all you need is some butter, flour, sugar, and eggs. And you can advertise "Not from Costco!" pies.

Yes it's probably about deli owners. not bakery owners.

Seems like there's a large underserved market
