I bought 175 g pack of salami which had 162 g of salami as well.

    You think tolerances and measuring errors don’t exist just because shrinkflation and fraud are things that exist?

    I hate capitalism and corporate bullshit, too, but I don’t need to get outraged at the shit that’s barely an inconvenience like missing 8 grams of spaghetti in a 410 gram package that was mass produced. That shit would happen even if the companies weren’t asshats.

      Yes, they are literally just excuses for shrinkflation and companies only benefit from shitheads like you to give them an easy out.

      The world doesn’t revolve around tiny minute details and jargon from a field that doesn’t actually positively affect most people’s lives.

      Our kitchen scales are the standard, not your overblown overpriced ones that are too precise to be meaningful to the average consumer.

      We are in charge, not you.

        That’s an absurd take, how can a company know anything about whatever random crappy scale you bought second hand?

        We have standards for a reason.

      It’s more likely that the scales are inaccurate.
