We should be waaay more heavy-handed with domestic oligopolies that fuck around like this. Where’s Loblaws or Metro going to go? The US? Sorry, but they aren’t packing up to go down South; they haven’t even started to enter their markets. Who cares if it’s a „mistake“; it’s a multi-billion dollar company that can afford to make sure things get done properly and efficiently. Behavior like this should come with criminal penalities and significant fines. They keep doing it because all they get it is a slap on the wrist. However, this is wholescale theft from the public and blatant fraud, and if this was some joe off the street, we’d throw them in jail. It’s time we start taking criminal behaviour like this seriously.
It needs to be investigated and fined to ensure it’s not a common, intentional thing, but at the same time, these kinds of headlines are designed to rile people up and think there’s a grand conspiracy.
Was **every** single piece of meat weighed with its packaging? That’s intentional. Were they able find some that were and some that weren’t? That’s the minimum wage teenager who packaged it not caring.
I’m not saying this isn’t a problem. But the problem itself is less about George and Galen Weston trying to rip you off and more about the average 16 year old high school kid who’s packaging this stuff not caring and probably just trying to minimize their time in the cold room.
