This is a question Complaining

I like writing letters of complaint to companies containing the words "premier league muppetry", if only to give the poor office workers a good laugh on an otherwise dull day. Have you ever complained? Did it work?

In fact there is quite a sneaky reason for their doing what they did
Supermarkets like to show off that they've been lowering prices. Though as you'd expect prices to follow a pattern similar to the consumer price index you'd hazard a guess that this is LIIEEEEES.

So,
Jan 1, packet of Swan Cunts, 0.50
Feb 1, ", 0.49 - 'We've lowered thousands of prices!'
Mar 1, ", 0.48 - 'We've lowered thousands of prices!'
Apr 1, ", 1.50
May 1, ", 1.49 - 'We've lowered thousands of prices!'
etc.

Devious
They also do stuff like randomly trebling the price on a particular item (it's usually some random vegetable) for a day or two. Enough people don't bother checking, and even if a few do it's a very rare person who keeps a detailed mental list of historic price trends on everything they buy.
