RealityWarCriminal posted:it means a freeze, which when you take inflation into account means a cut in future years (the same amount of money buys less) Yeah, it is just even if inflation was zero, departments probably still need 2-3% more a year to deal with simply the cost of doing business. In reality, it is probably a 7% cut and maybe a 5-6% cut after that. Also, there are completely deep-sixing the rest of the COVID funding.

seriously though it’s made of amino acids so you probably give bacteria the dna and they make it for you, no chemist is sitting there coming up with a synthesis for it

something that confuses me about shrinkflation is the material (food) cost tends to be one of the cheaper parts of a lot of production lines. Like if you use the same packages and put in 10% less food, you’re not saving anywhere near 10% on what you end up distributing. with some stuff like soda packs getting smaller or whatever sure you could look at less cans as more or less a flat reduction in costs but for bulk packaged goods they’re only saving fractions of what they’re stealing from the consumer. On an individual company scale that may still seem worth it but you know what would make your brands food really stand out and pop off the shelf right now? Having the normal sizes and making a point of advertising that. This feels like one area where capitalism should actually function okay from competition so why is no one competing? If nothing else store brands could probably make a killing right now by pushing this aspect.

The answer is just they cut both the labor costs, the material costs, as well as charge more because they can. You will will have no choice, you will be hungry, and you will love it.

comedyblissoption posted:*making money hand over fist* but have you considered competition with the store brand Im asking why it hasn’t turned into a prisoner’s dilemma, they’re all making more money because they’re all doing the same thing but if someone broke rank this would be a good chance to snatch customers away from the other brands. The level of consistency with this stuff is crazy, like I drink a lot of seltzer water and within a year everyone went from 12 packs to 8, month by month each name brand and store brand switched over, and it’s like if even one stuck with the 12 or went back to it now they’d get a ton of customers switching over. I assume there’s some literal as in documentable crime price fixing going on that explains the lockstep nature of these changes

sure, if one company lowered their prices, they might make a lot of money in the short term. but eventually their competitors would lower their prices to match, resulting in everyone making less money over all.

Monopolization is the natural tendency of capital, not competition. Here's a nice little overview of what this means: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/ch01.htm The brands aren't competing for customers, they're playing a fine balancing act of price controls among the like 3 owners of food productions so they all get paid as much as possible while minimizing labor costs.

Dumb rear end in a top hat aside, I feel like there's some serious inefficiency going on when you have 8 shelves of canned fruit (?) 2 units deep. There's definitely hotspots where customers grab cans from more often and the top and bottom shelves probably don't see much movement. This means the staffers have to be regularly checking expiration dates and rotating and re-shelving all that stock. Would be simpler to have a narrower section that's restocked more often.

In the US, you would open the van and there would be a much smaller soup sized can inside.

there's also a marketing idea where you don't want to be known as the "cheap" brand with low quality stuff or else you can't attract the richer consumers. though obviously some companies are fine with this (walmart, mcd).

Even if there was only one product it's silly to have 8 shelves for it, that just makes it much more likely there's gonna be some forgotten cans that end up expiring.
