In terms of profitability, fuel pumps don't boost your profitability but do boost your rate of income (ie, you'll sell the same amount of fuel at the same markup, just 2-3x faster). If your daily turnover isn't great and you aren't stockpiling, then you need to look at investing in things to boost it. Since you don't have to worry about use-by dates, that's not really a problem (as long as you don't eat the Chunky-O yourself), it just slows you down in the short-term. It isn't that you're not making profit, more that you're (arguably) over-investing that profit back into future inventory.

If you try to max out stock on shelves, that can require a substantial investment when you upgrade your warehouse (suddenly you have room for all those extra bits that before you didn't have space to buy) and particularly so as you open and expand the garage, because those contents are particularly expensive and restocking from low can easily eat up 1-2 days' worth of profits. is this happening to anyone else? its not the way a business should work, spend all income on more supplies and make no profit?.
