They shrunk cheese again. Now instead of four cups, you get two. There is no one to complain to, and following trends, it will not go back to four cups.
Essentially, you now pay double, because you'll have to buy two to cover the entire baking tray.

Jack Scalfani is going to shit when he sees this.

I worked in a grocery store when they cut ice cream in half. People screamed at me as if I had done this personally.

Beer is now being sold in four packs, for the price of a six pack.

Where does the madness end?
 
Price go up yet amount go down.
I don't think they'll stop "shrinkflation". In fact I feel like it'd have to get worse before better IF a better happens.
 
Amerimutts seething because their calories are being watched for them.

Truly we live in the end times…

If you're buying cheese by the cup, you're basically asking to get raped.
 
As a grocery store worker, I clicked on this thread thinking it would be about inventory shrink. On that note, I cannot stand it when people leave unwanted frozen or refrigerated items in nonrefrigerated areas. If they're out there too long, we can no longer sell them.
 
I used to make a game of it. I had a manager I hated, so that was a great way to waste time. Just cruise the aisles, filling a cart with garbage. I wore the sandwich gloves as not to get the poor germs on me. For all I know, that fried chicken bone had hepatitis on it.

The other one was day mopping. Customers hated it, managers hated it, no one said shit.

It was like a game of where's waldo, and we were in a mexican area, so I was guaranteed a high yield.

Thanks to my time wasting efforts, they started making people pay at the deli counter. No more store snacks. They'd still crack open drinks for their kids though. Or goldfish crackers. I'm surprised they don't have a fishtank door on those fuckers yet.

On the positive side of things, the war on shreddy appears to have been postponed, the fatass bags are back in stock. Still not seeing 2 pound bricks, and I'm starting to think they're not coming back.
I used to cut the 2 pound brick in half and freeze the other half. Much better bang for the buck than shreddy.

I always thought employees just tossed that shit back in there if they came across it.
 
Nope, that's super illegal.

I did once find pizza bites that were TWO YEARS out of date. Things can get pushed back on shelves, and it's a good idea to read such things for yourself.

Specifically, if someone takes frozen chicken, and jams it in the soda aisle, the employee CAN NOT shove that back in the freezer.

And yeah, the soda aisle was ground zero for "graze waste" Grazing is shoplifting, but customers lie to themselves and say "I'm going to pay for it" as they eat. And then magically, they don't.

It reminds me of the bullshit double standard statement. "Did you see X stealing food? No you didn't. Mind ya business" That business carries over.

We had a manager that nowadays reminds me of gus fring. He was always dressed well, and took zero shit. You're not "allowed" to stop shoplifters in my state. He got around this by stopping... the cart.

"Would you like me to assist you to the register?" was one refrain. "Oh you left your wallet in your car? I'll be happy to watch your cart while you go get it" was another.

Speaking of shelf dates, I've noticed that sandwich meat is getting a lot shorter expiration dates. Like within two weeks. That is not a good margin. The shit is already expensive as fuck, the fact that it's only shelf rated for two weeks is... alarming.

One would hope that was because of less preservatives, but I think it's a darker trend.

Stock up on canned beans and shotguns, as Finance Gremlin would say.
