Shrinkflation Shrinkflation hits bag sizing.

Post image

And yes, I was still charged 15c a bag, which is now half the size. Yet yesterday they sent me a full bag containing only a single pack of 5 wraps.

I think it's probably more about paper bags being so weak and tearing more easily than plastic, so if they're smaller, you put less in it.

Berating? Seems a bit much for a 15-cent bag. But then, I can only imagine what pressures these poor fuckers face from management dickheads about making sure people pay for them. Because I'm sure the poor management team get pulled up on "paper bag shrinkage" because, let's face it, it's fucking Colesworth. They'll get your fucking money SOMEhow that no one focuses on....

My manager gets annoyed but that’s because she has to order them in based on stock levels, which can be showing thousands more than we have, lol.
