I don't understand Jim's deal. He wanted to charge our protagonist MORE money per bulb than he would charge someone buying less garlic? Why?

Was it a deeply shortsighted, cynical attempt to turn a quick buck? Was Jim weirded out by the dynamic forming with TokyoSunbather and was trying to put some distance between them? Was there some sort of subtle dynamic occurring where TokyoSunbather would take the best bulbs and leave only shitty ones behind, and that was causing subsequent customers to perceive Jim's stock as low-quality, thereby negatively affecting his reputation?

I don't understand. Something is missing. TokyoSunbather is either holding something back, or is overlooking a key detail. Either way I want to know. It doesn't make sense. Jim doesn't make sense. What is the missing piece I need to know.

Or, and hear me out, somebody made up a story and posted it in the internet.

Could be an AI made story, garlic only lasts about 6 months before spoiling. Seems like the kind of mistake AI would make.

Even if it's made up, there's still more we want to know.

There was another tweet from before this one about "When the farmers market has a deal on bulk garlic" which leads me to believe he was getting a discount before and feels slighted at the removal. But who really knows? Either way I followed and am looking forward to an update.

Oh good, I'm glad someone else is asking this question. The whole story hinges on it, and it doesn't make sense.

I'm assuming someone rewrote the events that happened to Hoy Fong Sriracha

It just reeks of something that would appear on 4Chan, I wouldn't read too much into it
