Most people living in Australia choose to go to supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths to buy food and daily necessities. There is a certain quality guarantee for their goods, and there are occasional sales discounts. Everyone took advantage of the weekend to go shopping with family and friends.
We often see supermarket shelves marked with reduced prices, cheap and cost-effective, thinking about how to make money every day. But no one thought they could make our money in another way!
According to Daily Mail, a Melbourne mother found that the weight printed on the chicken packaging did not match the actual weight, so Coles overcharged her.
Nickers Mhatre bought a packet of raw chicken from Coles one day to make a delicious dinner. When he got home, Mhatre suddenly thought, suddenly wanted to buy a six-year scale to scale the weight of the chicken, to see if it is the same as the label on the package.
Who knows that as soon as a handful of chicken is put on the scale, strange things happen.
Isn't chicken 1.3 kilos? How did you get home and become more than 900 grams?
Mhatre couldn't figure it out. The scale took only half a year, and every time it was used to measure the weight, it was very accurate. The only explanation is that Coles's packaging label does not list the real weight, misleading consumers and overcharging. On the package, you can see that the weight of chicken is 1.312 kg, but the real weight is only 934 grams! Full of 378, or 29% of the gap ah!
The price of chicken is $10.50 per kilogram, while Coles charges $13.78 per kilogram of Mhatre. In fact, Mhatre only needs to pay 9.8 to buy this package of chicken.
Mhatre posted his encounter on Coles's Facebook page, hoping to get a response and explanation. She felt completely misled by Coles and began to wonder if Coles's meat had not been charged according to its true weight.
One of the netizens left a message asking if Mhatre had to count on the weight of the soaking pad on which the chicken was placed. Mhatre said that the weight of the soaking pad was only 20 grams, even if it had been added to it.
Stores should not mislead consumers, let customers build trust in themselves is the king ah!
