He goes into Walmart and picks up some hams and he can tell they don't weigh that much. So he takes them to a produce scale and weighs them. Surprise he was right. Always weigh your meat on the produce scale.

People just chuck it into the basket. Pretty sure this will be another lawsuit.

I've worked at Walmart, in the meat department. I highly doubt this is being done by Walmart, they have better, less noticeably illegal ways to ruck people over. My guess would be that customers swap labels between heavier and lighter items. (This happens all time, and when they fuck up and tear the packaging the entire item 'has' to be thrown out.)

I skimmed one of the clips, where he checks the chicken breast. The lable on the breast is crooked and you can see some glue off to the side. The labels on these items are placed by a machine with very standardized placement, so someone clearly fucked with it. Items do get mislabeled, but it is maybe 1/500 (I saw some flat iron steak labeled & priced as NY strip once.)

They were saying that it was probably the producer. Also, that there is nobody checking these items.

Does it feel weird going to bat for Walmart?

Why do people like you insist on commenting on things you're too lazy to read?

What is real, kiddo? Look through that lens awhile, and listen.

The put downs are hilarious. Do you think you're smart?

this shit again....meat contains moisture, and the weight is done at time of packaging. of course a produce scale will be more accurate because time has gone by during shipping and stocking.

if you want accurate weights, buy from a butcher.

Yezzey@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 39d

No these were like less than half the weight shown.
