Downsizing

 Can businesses just get over this downsizing bologna?!  I wish they would just be honest about how much they are raising their prices and not try to trick us by shrinking the size of what we receive.  Do they really think that customers won’t notice that not only has the price gone up, but the product size has also been decreased.  We aren’t fooled.  We just feel like we are being ripped off.  And then when the product sizes increase again, we are supposed to think that another price increase isn’t really an increase because we are now getting more product, when in fact the price increase most likely exceeds the value of the additional amount of product.  I wish they would just cut the BS and not be sneaky about how much prices are increasing and stop selling us this small shit!  Yes, I am a little cranky at the moment. 😒

Here is a ridiculous example.  I recently bought an overpriced bottle of chocolate milk at an airport because I wanted something other than water or diet soda.  It contained only 7oz. of chocolate milk.  Now why in the heck did the company have to downsize it to 7 ounces?  Why would they jip their customers out of the last ounce of a standard 1 cup serving?  Isn’t the high price that is paid for small bottles of milk enough for a full one cup serving? Who in the heck really wants to purchase a bottle of milk that has only 7 ounces?!!  I decided to buy it anyway on that day, but I never would again.
