    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.

            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

          It’s a forum about shrinkflation. If the topic isn’t interesting to you, don’t click.

            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.
