There's way more people involved in that supply chain then me and the store. This is an over simplification.
Outside of the obvious answer of "the cows" - factory farming has been destroying my home state causing huge problems in rural America. Also - the environment. Big time the loser there is the environment for literally any bovine farming.
> The last time you paid money for a hair cut
When I was getting my hair cut professionally I tipped a $20 because I knew the gal cutting my hair working at the midwestern mall Regis Salon was making jack-all. I knew this because I worked at Geeksquad with her boyfriend, eventually husband. If I were not to tip well she would be at-risk for making minimum wage for that hour - and since you can't support yourself on minimum wage I see that as her losing.
I've always tipped my butt off because I know without that they lose.

So yeah - sorry... I anecdotally do see losers in the situations you described. I don't have to look hard to see them.
