These people have no higher education degree. If I talked to them about math, they would feel lost, then I just don't and simply buy fresh croissants and bread from them.
I have respect for them because they get up at 4am every morning to make their fresh bread and feed us.
They work hard and deserve the money they make.

I'm sure the baker inherited the real estate in a desirable urban location and there's some overcomplicated permit and zoning regulations that keep competitors out.
Because I worked in a bakery briefly when I was 19 and made $7.25 an hour and the person who did the morning shift was a mentally disabled woman. Of course we weren't making fine French pastries and selling them to tourists either.
