Gross margin for 2021 was 27.7%, compared to 27.9% in 2020. After excluding the last-in, first-out (LIFO) reserve effect, the decrease was primarily due to increased shrink and distribution costs, the company said.

Your numbers illustrate that it's a big business. Closer to 10% profit margin? How does 4B in earnings, on 48B in sales =27% margin?
