Quite some logic.

Yeah, it's win/win to the company. They save money on workers and charge more for the goods. They're double dipping. It's great... For them. But that's the way the capitalist machine works and is going to continue working until we fix the whole damn thing. As unfortunate as it is, this is basically expected behavior in our current society.
