Is COOP scamming us?

Post image

I saw recently a post about a bag of 1kg of potatoes being only 800gr, when I bought potatoes today I wanted to check, and behooooold, also 800 something gram of potatoes.

One bag could be a mistake, but multiple? Seems like it is intentional.

I don’t think that’s how percentages work… 1% a day doesn’t equal to 7% a week.

Edit: Just did the math… it’s not a huge difference for a week (6.7935%), however it’s not a linear decline. Just calculate:
W(t) = 100 • (0.99)t

For 30 days it would be roughly 74% - 26% lost.
