Three comments and only two of them are by grabthars hammer.
I'm honestly a little disappointed.
Saw the same thing on Guinness in Aldi. Must be some automatic printer or something. Surely no sane person would make it!
This was also in Aldi!
Didn't realise but apparently the price cards aren't paper anymore, they're e-ink now. Saw one change in front of my eyes and I thought I was seeing things! Must be some sort of dynamic pricing thing they do so that they're always cheaper than whoever is cheapest or something.
It changes based on who's standing in front of it. They use facial recognition to look up your tax returns.
Ive started removing the price tags that say crap like this. With prices so high I actually find it insulting to people struggling to be able to buy food.
They're taking the piss with tags like this and throwing it in our face.
No I hand it to staff, tell them why im removing it and tell them reprint it without the joke. Last one was "Save 14p" on space raiders.

At least that scam is obvious.
What's less obvious is stuff like "Brand X cheese - 1 lb - $9.99" vs "Brand Y cheese - 8 oz - $8.99". People go for brand Y each and every time despite it being 80% more expensive.
Even when store are forced to display the price per standardized unit of weight, they print it so small people rarely pay attention (or you need reading glasses to read it when you're old enough, which stores of course do on purpose).
PepsiCo are greedy cunts. They're one of the worst examples of greedflation.
Absolutely shameless.
Your argument would hold more merit if there wasn't tons of alternatives. Also you could just not drink sodas as they are really bad for you anyway
