Last trip to that store ever. And ask for your money back.

I agree with LawrenceS.

Broken chips?

Those aren’t “chips”; they’re crumbs.

Unfortunately more truth in this comic than one would want. “Shrink-flation” in products is no joke. These companies are definitely taking advantage of us consumers, and they do this no matter what political party is in charge.

Ask for a bag that hasn’t been smashed.

Quantity is not the most important thing.

If I were that store’s manager, that guy would be on his way to the unemployment office.

My new favorite character.

I bought what I would call a medium size bag of chips, about 2 of the small single-serving size bags worth. Of course, there’s the “some settling may have occurred” wherein the bag is only half full. I ate about 75% in the first sitting. It’s crazy to me that this bag now sells for $6. I got it on sale for $5.50. The bag itself probably costs more to make than the chips inside. I doubt if every part of production costs more than $1 to make, and probably less than half that. It is insane the markup on food these days.

At 1 am 1998, at a 7-11, a Mello yellow marked at $.98 went to register rang up $1.68. I said something, clerk said “I haven’t had time to change the price tags”. I said well you can now replace the drink in the cooler also!

Go to Aldi’s if you want a bag full of chips .

Do it for him, smash all the chip bags on the way out saying, “what a great idea!” and never return

I was about 8 years old, I had 2 pennies and was trying to decide on penny candy or gum. The guy behind the counter yelled “MONEYYYYY!!” at me, I threw my pennies at him and never went back.

Just walk a way, your money in hand, Whos he going to sell a bag of chips to that are all damaged??

There’s got to be better ways to fight inflation.

Because of how some store personnel treated me or my friends or my sisters when husband and I went into the handcrafted business I was very nice to children and made sure that husband was also. Their $5 was as good as anyone else’s.
