It is a good thing That Bank doesnt sell Lettuce
(Preview)
Wholesale lettuce price yesterday was $10, so retail $12-13, not much of a margin. But Banks wholesale for money is 1.35%, but sell it on at 4.8% That would make a lettuce around $28 if they had their way. Keep safe on the road and only buy lettuce, dont borrow money.
