    A fitting metaphor for their health insurance system, when you think about it.

    Does “ct.” mean something? If not, those cookies are absurdly priced for just 3.6 grams.

        Since when does ct. Mean count? The only things i was able to find online, were carat (ct, unit of measurement of mass), ct count (covid-19), Connecticut (ct as shortened)

      ct is Count, most likely. It’s possible it’s a mistake; it’s also possible that they’re hoping people who don’t have the card will see $3.99 and miss the ‘price with card’ note, and not check the price when they check out.

        Has it gotten that bad in America that you’d be able to put an extra $100 on groceries without most people noticing? $10 though, sure.

          A lot of folks use grocery delivery services, and the people fulfilling those orders are often unlikely to care enough to be diligent. If it’s on your list, they’ll get it.

    Just don’t look at the best buy date.

    Also, that’s shitload of money for 18 cookies. Unless they’re lying, of course.

    If the price per lb is the non discount price, then at 18 cookies, each cookie would weigh 1.4 lbs. Those are some massive cookies.

    oh god… so i worked at one of these during hs/college. one black history month they had a section for ‘black history month.’ no bullshit, they had cotton balls, watermelon, fried chicken. i immediately mentioned it to a black co-worker.

    his response, ‘yo wtf. that’s fucked up… but that’s a really good price for chicken’

    the company eventually apologized.

    One of my local grocery stores requires downloading their app. I have to manually generate and accept digital coupons in the app to get the advertised sale price on the shelf.

    They have my account they’ve had for 20+ years tracking all my purchases for gas points. But now I need a phone app to personally and individually hand them my data they already have.
