To weigh or not to weigh, many customers at Edeka and Kaufland seem to ask themselves this question again and again.
A photo now causes irritation.
Kassel - Notices in supermarkets are intended, at best, to make customers aware of offers or discounts - and, at worst, to break them of annoying habits.
The latter, in particular, does not always attract applause.
For example, a customer was so angry that she shared a photo with a notice and declared: “Rewe, you are not my mother!”
Currently it is once again a notice of the second kind that is causing fuming ears among Edeka and Kaufland customers.
A customer shared his experience with photos on the Reddit platform, and the reactions weren't exactly balanced.
Kaufland photo also makes Edeka customers angry: “Are you stupid or what?”
In his post, the supermarket customer shares a snapshot of the vegetable shelf.
As he makes clear in a comment under his post, he took the photo in a Kaufland branch.
He captioned his post with the words “Are you stupid or what?”
In addition to bright red peppers and at least equally red price tags, there are two bright orange information signs.
You can read there: “Hello, don’t forget to weigh”.
The word weigh is underlined in bold.
For some people, this seems to bring back hair-raising memories of their last supermarket shopping at Edeka or Kaufland.
Kaufland customer shares his frustration: Many agree with him - but there are also dissenting voices
"Most passive aggressive 'Hello' I've ever read on an A4 piece of paper," sums up one user.
Another complains about Kaufland and denounces that having to weigh yourself is “like in the Middle Ages”.
And Edeka customers also apparently know the problem: “It's also stupid if you have several chain stores in your city, in my case Edeka, and you have to weigh things yourself in one half of the stores and everything directly in the other half is weighed at the checkout.... I always stand in front of the scales like the last Otto [...]."
Another shares the “good news”: “Our Edeka has given up.
Cashiers constantly had to run to the scales.
Now there is a (laminated) piece of paper hanging on the customer scale: “Fruit will be weighed at the checkout.
This scale is only considered a checkweigher for them.'”
But not every user can understand this supermarket annoyance.
One who comes out as a salesperson tries to defend the notice somewhat and writes: “As someone who works in sales, I can understand the frustration to some extent.
Customers no longer read signs.
I'm hired as a specialist salesperson and what I have to explain most often are price tags.
(Yes, it's exactly as you imagine - I tell people that the number on the sign is what they have to pay)." An Edeka commercial is currently making positive waves - and there are more than six Year old.
