Reply to ELI5: why do grocery stores in the US keep such a large inventory? Aside from being prepared for episodic panic buying like toilet paper or bottled water, is there an economic reason to do this? How much of the food ends up going bad? by DrEverythingBAlright
Work as a buyer and depending on the food item it can range from 8-16wks stock cover.
A few reasons.
Stability of supply and to negate potential risk of loss of supply. Food is important and people go crazy when theres no food on shelves.
Minnium order quantities are a factor when being ordered from a supplier so it makes commercial sense.
Waste isn't a massive factor for a lot of cupbard foods as theyll have long shelf life anyway and when it comes to Fresh stockholding isn't a thing.
You will have some niche food areas like wines and spirits that arent really effected by code life they can be held for certain times of year like new years etc.

Depreciation reasons? Like I get there's a stadium etc but that's a big write off year. Also is depreciation real money?

I'd understand not getting involved. You cant see her face but helping involves a risk of being stabbed by a needle
