I noticed a certain downtown boutique style grocery has a sale on. They have a 1lb bags of coffee beans on sale for $7.99. Its fair trade and organic coffee. The usual price is $9.99 so a pretty good deal right? The only catch is the “1 lb” bag has 340g stamped on it, and not the 454g that are actually in a pound.
Is this the worst problem in the world? No, far from it.
But call a spade a fucking spade would ya.

What honks me off are the products that look the same as always sizewise until you flip it over – many plastic containers have concave bottoms – deception comes in many forms, OP.
What pisses me off is the So beez not changing their system to the god damn sale prices so when you get home, you realize you’ve paid full price for everything.
Damn Beez.
I hate stores which use metric for one product and Imperial for another, similar product – it messes you right up. Just pick one and stick with it so we consumers can more easily compare prices, please!
Example: I love mushrooms (the regular type). I can’t get enough of them. If I could eat fried mushrooms and nothing more all day for the rest of my life, I would. Anyway, that being said, I tend to buy a lot of mushrooms – shiitake, portobello, button, you name it, I love them all! Fuck, I can’t get enough mushrooms! OK, I’m just gonna go fry up some mushrooms, eat them, and then I’ll be back to finish my story, OK?
I hate the megalo-grocery store not having scales in pounds and kilos. Converting in your head fucking sucks when you’re tired and going home.
what other kinds of shrooms you be eatin q? and hash smells better than pot
Like I said, paingirl, I like ALL kinds of mushrooms! Yummy.
Mmmmmmmmm, haaaaaaaaaaaaasssshhhhhhhhhh.
