‘THEY’RE JUST STRAIGHT UP LYING TO US AND STEALING’: SHOPPER CALLS OUT GROCERY

A customer has exposed a sketchy practice reportedly employed by some grocery
stores that could be costing shoppers hundreds of dollars a year.

Featured Video


In a now-viral video, posted on Oct. 24, TikTok user Gvizzle (@gvizzle_74)
revealed how the advertised weight of some products she bought does not align
with the actual weight of the food inside the packaging, leading to potential
overcharging.

The TikToker first noticed the discrepancy when she purchased a can of tuna. The
packaging claimed a drained weight of 120 grams, but upon weighing, the contents
only amounted to 105 grams.

“If I had purchased 10 cans that day, it would have been like opening one can
that was completely empty and another that was missing a quarter of the tuna,”
she explained in the video.



The second example involved a package of chicken advertised at 862 grams of net
weight. Upon weighing, she discovered only 772 grams of chicken inside, a
90-gram difference.

Calculating the financial impact, she stated, “That’s $1.78 on one product, one
package of chicken. How many packages of chicken did they sell that day?”

She continued, “This happened in Metro, but Real Canadian Superstore, which is
where I normally shop got me for a $1.53 a couple of weeks ago on some fish. So
if I’m on average buying three proteins per week, and rounding down, they’re
stealing $5 from me, $260 a year…”

The TikToker then shifted her focus to the larger issue, accusing manufacturers
and grocers of “stealing from us every minute of every day.”

Gvizzle questioned, “How many thousands of transactions are happening every
hour? And how many of those transactions involve people paying for products
they’re not actually getting?”

The video has since accumulated over 922,000 views, sparking outrage and concern
from fellow consumers.

“There should be a law that if the weight isn’t accurate, they have to refund
your full cost,” one commenter wrote.

“And the employees are not making a livable wage,” another added.

“My recipes aren’t filling the pans like they used to,” a third complained.

The Daily Dot has reached out to Gvizzle via TikTok direct messages and to Metro
via their press email.
