Title: Re: ric romero goes grocery shopping Post by: Clive on July 10, 2008, 10:03:46 AM FWIW, I'd be kind of annoyed if the manufacturer preserved every last detail of the packaging for a product I'd already vetted, but quietly started putting less into that package. Shoppers make buying decisions at least partly based on an assessment of quality and value. Huge PITA to have to do that for every product, every shopping trip. (I notice when the price changes, because it's right there in BIG numbers.)
And ... Quote “When you find out you’re paying more but getting less, you’re left to believe somebody is doing something wrong,” Randy Compton said on a recent shopping trip to an Apple Market in Mobile, Ala. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to sweep up all these metaphors."Of a can of corn he pulled off the shelf — previously 14 ounces, now 11 ounces, and costing the same — he said: “The size of the can is the same, but the net weight of the actual corn is smaller. They’re magicians, and they’re pulling an illusion over your eyes.” |
