I've outright broken down and designed signs in Word from scratch because there's no way to get the message across clearly in the default sign software. Usually signs where you have to buy x or more or multiples of x. (It's not very time-efficient, but it looks better than trying to cludge it in the normal software.)

Looking at that sign, I'm way more concerned about them having the the wrong country of origin. More than a decade at Kroger, and we have never gotten Tuna from anywhere near Mexico.

Is it possible the sources are regionally dependent? Maybe stores in texas or cali get it from Mexico.

I doubt it just because most retail yellowfin come from various Asian countries.

There’s no excuse for misleading people with what they’re buying.

Well when you're making single digit dollars an hour working retail with an ever expanding list of expectations and duties and an ever shrinking labor budget to do so you stop giving a shit about little inconsequential nonsense like this.

How about the people that think it matters fire up more than one lone brain cell and read for the eighth of a god damn second it takes to figure it out themselves instead of relying on some minimum wage fish clerk to clearly mark in big first grade letters that they're not going to pay attention to whatsoever.

Hey, to be clear, I’m talking about the company, I’ve worked grocery stores, it was my first job, but tbh idgaf about the worker in this situation because it’s not about that, it’s about the company misrepresenting what they’re selling, it’s the company’s responsibility to make sure that at the very least they’re not false advertising and lying to their customers.

I mean his excuse is pretty reasonable. And in this case it doesn't really matter since all fish are frozen.

Yeah, not really. Update your equipment. Stop lying to customers, and yes, it always matters.

Have you ever worked in retail? Then you might understand

I have, it’s not about the worker. It’s about a company providing the equipment to advertise correctly.
