Or more realistically the underpaid over worked employee that has to stock and retag the entire store hasn’t been able to replace that label yet.
But sure, let’s just say they lied instead like it’s some devised plan set in motion.
Then CVS allows itself to publish misinformation by not staffing its stores sufficiently. Still their responsibility all the same.
I agree with both of you. It’s not a lie necessarily but it’s absolutely false advertising
From what I can tell that tag is from November.
Are you so detached from reality that you have no idea what people do in convenience stores?
No one is “publishing misinformation”. It’s a fcking price tag.There are laws about this.
Let me ask you, what do you do after you take a picture of the incorrect tag?
Post about it on a small corner of the internet where people ostensibly care about predatory pricing issues, go back about my day, then apparently come back here and answer a bunch of weird meta questions about a post that was actually very simple.
I was afraid you went Karen about it in the store, that’s why I asked. Glad you didn’t.
Understanding simple every day things is not “weird meta” though.
Haha no, I’d never do that. In real life if I was going to point it out to them I’d do it politely.
Nah, you’re right, they should just never be called out and we should be grateful for their business at all right? Fuck outta here
No. But it’s also not a conspiracy.
Edit: Apparently people here think it’s a conspiracy. Lol
Yeah, it’s at best a mistake, at worst laziness.
Jesus you must be a blast at a DND game. Just out looking for a fight and pedantics.
It’s a forum about shrinkflation. If the topic isn’t interesting to you, don’t click.
Sounds like that guy is out looking for a fight and focusing on pedantics
I can care about shrinkflation while thinking that post is over the top and you’re trying to turn a minor store fuck up into an instituionalized scheme to mislead customers.
These people are Karen’s, as far as all the replies have shown tonight. Completely unable to accept or understand basic minimum wage plight.
They just want to be angry.
I’ve been that employee at a busy grocery store. I was supposed to be one of three people who managed the tags. Due to a lack of funds, I was always the only one. Not fun.
Hanlon’s Razor is always in effect.
This actually happens more than you think, a lot of the information on the tags are very slow to be updated the only info they really care about on the tag is the end price. It’s not just CVS it’s most places.
I watch things like this closely so yes you’re right I do see it disturbingly often. The end price is not even always accurate, sometimes the weight is blatantly listed wrong. Even nutrition can be wrong. I saw two containers of pretzels side by side identical in every way but one was covered in salt and the other wasn’t. Both were listed as the same amount of sodium content.
This is the kind of sleuthing that leads to the next Panama Papers.
Lol
