Your false claim that both are permanently fixed is ludicrous. That would be one hell of an efficiently run supermarket chain. This could happen with raising any cost related to running a business. Sure. Interest, taxes, whatever -- all just another cost of running a business. When Exxon's cost of oil goes up, the price of gas at the pump goes up. When the cost of lettuce goes up, you pay more at the store. When corporate income taxes go up, you pay more for everything. That was my point. The taxes are passed through to the consumer. As are all costs. Corporations don't pay taxes. They pass them through to the consumer, just as they do all costs.
