They all taste almost the same, they're all priced similarly, and if you want to pay extra you can go to the nicer one and get the same exact steak but with the "aoli" (which is just fancy mayo, I mean c'mon) or your sauteed mushrooms with less pepper in the seasoning than the other ones have.

Sysco has a market share of 17% so I would not call that a near-monopoly. They are the largest food distributor granted but US Foods and GFS have significant presence.
