I think the majority of consumers, if told that store B was charging more than twice as much as store A for an equivalent product would decide that store B was attempting to rip them off, and would not only shop at store A instead for this product, but would form an adverse opinion of store B and be less likely to shop there in the future.
I'm thinking Amazon is selling some below cost as they did in US before agency pricing to gain market share.
