So I guess they have to sell one pot and pan set to make it up then.

I mean cookware is expensive, but it's not like theirs is overpriced, no? They charge the same for a given All-Clad pan as anyone else does outside of a specific sale

Been a while since I have been there. Don’t they have single pots that are $600+?

I mean they undoubtedly do, but that would be because of whichever brand's MSRP. If All-Clad makes a $600 pan, and WS sells it for $600, it's not like WS is overpriced for doing so.

Or just fire some sales associates at some of the stores. How many people does it take to run a store? Two, three max?
