If they cut off, say 1" as some have done, then looking at the rolls now every 4-5 rolls that have been cut would yield another roll. Doing this to billions of rolls you see how many more rolls they would be making off the same dime. Yet charging us the same amount of money as they normally do.
Recently, at a local market in the bakery they sell these bread rolls, for small sandwiches. On the package it says 12 count, yet every bag, is only 10. Each bag being shorted by 2. For every 5 bags of these they sell, they get one free to sell. This is deceptive.
If companies "cut off", or change the product in any way to "lessen" it, it should be duly noted on the packaging. They note it when they "add" more, why is there not laws to force them to note it when they "subtract" some?
What seems like a little to one roll of tissue paper, adds up to a lotta paper in the end, when you add up how many billions of rolls of tissue they do this to. We still have to pay the same amount, for lesser product.
Who has more to spare in their bank accounts? The company, or like me a family of 11, with barely enough income to make it from month to month. We go through a lot of tissue paper every month, and we sure could use those extra rolls tht have been taken from us.
It's not just this company or this product...does anyone remember when sugar came in 5 lb bags and suddenly you notice the bags of sugar got smaller, and were now 4 lb? Companies should put it right on the front, they have a new design with lesser paper. Or they have new packaging from 5 lb to 4 lb. , not just sneak it in till someone figures it out.
Companies that do this are costing consumers millions of dollars in totality, for product they are not receiving.
