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

    That does not apply in today’s world where shrinkflation and consumer fraud run rampant.

    It us solely the company’s responsibility to ensure each package is labeled with the correct weight, not the consumer to tolerate excuses like “measuing errors” whether they’re valid or not. Companies have too much power to just not know or be able to accurately weigh or label their product, ergo if there’s a problem, they chose to have it in there. And if you dispute that, I will simply block you and move on.

    Stop defending evil corporations. Stop doing this.

      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.

      All that speech does not change that the weighing scales he is using is cheap af and thus the measuring error is high enough. Even if the guys at the company had the best measuring system in the world without error and they packed 410g of pasta, the guy measuring at home with that scale would probably mesure a vaule not equal to the nominal one.

      Maybe the scales have measuring errors because they defend evil corporations. “Please scales stop defending evil corporations!!”. Dude i hate scales they are so much pro system…

      Srry your comment was too funny for me.

        All that speech doesn’t change the fact that your standards don’t matter, ours do, and if our scales don’t match what that package says, you have to put more product in to make it do so or you are defrauding us. Period.

        Now come back when you’re ready to meet our standards.

          You aren’t shit. They scales do meet standards that are tested periodically to ensure they aren’t false advertising. Do you really think these corporations don’t have audits?

          Calm down, touch grass, try to get in touch with reality and stay off the tankie portions of the internet that feed these delusions.

          I’m not sure if I’m missing a joke here, but are you asking for some alternative-metrology here?!

          Weight is a well-defined standard, and a properly calibrated scale > your kitchen scale.

            Yeah this guy is pure comedy at this point tbh. Are you of the “our standards” team or “their standards” team (very evil, probably eat childs too)
