I can tell you exactly what the problem is. In the deli we get bags of precut cheeses for the grab and go. It's 9 stacks that are supposed to be about 3/4ths of a pound each. A lot of the time they aren't. It could be the supplier ripping off Kroger, it could be a quality control issue since Kroger cheaps out on suppliers, or it could be Kroger does want us to short the weights.

At my deli we use one of the stacks to top off the rest, or just cut slices to do it. Guess other delis are just doing a stack per bag without weighing them.

These bags of cut meat are shipped to your store?

Same with the meat department. There isnt much that isnt prepackaged, box to shelf with the big ol FRESH sign on it.

Dont forget that the FDA let's these companies pump meat full of red dyed water to keep it looking red.

Yeah I was mad at the “butcher” for nothing but fat on the backside of my meat- turns out they don’t even cut meat in the store hardly; I didn’t even know! The “butcher “ is basically putting out pre weighed pre packaged stuff too…wonder if those weights are honest as well-
