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.
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 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.
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.
