You can keep small stocks of an item, and it can have positive effects beyond direct revenues, e.g. if families with one dieting or vegetarian member don't avoid McDonald's because that person can eat a salad.
I think the positive effect is that they can say that they sell salads, people can convince themselves they intend to buy the salad, and so on.
Or rather, another positive effect. These explanations aren't mutually exclusive.
That being said, nice insight.
