Say I buy a 2 dollar bottle of Coke from a grocery store. I go up to the cashier, I give them the money, they put it in the till, and I walk away. I have given money to the store, who presumably will then use that 2 dollars to fill out their employees paychecks, pay for things in the store like water, electricity, heating, janitorial staff for cleaning, etc, etc.
After all of that, how will Coke ever see my 2 dollars? It would seem to be that the money would have diluted beyond all recognition by that point.
In: Economics
The store will have contracts with various vendors, coca-cola being a major one, as they own lots of different soft drink brands. Coca cola gets a cut of the profits and multiplied globally in every store around the world, it adds up to many, many millions of dollars.
