Walmart — Raisin Bran Shrinkflation Attempt…???

BEWARE — BEWARE….. Very bad pick and delivery system.

Of course, that is just a guess on my part. It could just something became screwed up.

And you can only imagine my desire to use my ole salty Marine Corps language…. As in (watch out — free speech here) what the crap is going on…. (well, not too salty on this one)

I ordered MEGA SIZE 37 oz Raisin Bran as I have been doing for quite a while from walmart. But, at the end of September, things switched up — I ordered the same thing as I’ve always done — MEGA SIZE 37 oz Raisin Bran.

What showed up you ask….???? Well, it was not what I ordered. It was:

MEGA SIZE 29.5 oz…..

I immediately called walmart to cancel and refund my order.

Then, after pondering a bit that it may have been just a hiccup, a small screw up — I decided to re-order the:

MEGA SIZE 37 oz Raisin Bran that is still listed. See the pix above.

But GUESS WHAT…. MEGA SIZE 29.5 oz showed up today, again.

Hence this review with more explicit biting language — gotta be nice and pious on many of sites like walmart or pcmagazine in today’s era.

Yes, I will be cancelling this recent order as well and going elsewhere, where I have a competitive price and definitive faith in what I order is what I will receive.

Could this be an early move to shrinkflation — bogus bait and switch attempt. Not stating it as a fact, just allegedly saying so…. ;-]
