I was disappointed last week when my Market Basket cookie tub had only 12 cookies when marked as '14 count'. Oh well, someone swiped a couple at the store.
Today I counted before putting a tub in my cart ~ again only 12 in a 14 count tub ~ all tubs were short 1 or 2 even the others marked as '13 count' & '12 count' ALL were short. I mentioned this to a bakery person who took 2 tubs away saying 'wait'. I expected to get a tub with 14 cookies but she never returned.
SO ~ Count your cookies at Market Basket or get screwed.

way to stay positive, AP
... if you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem....and it doesn't just happen at market basket!
btw, your post seems more fitting for the brockton hub, don't you think?

We can always count on OS to lift our spirits.
This is the point, MB has been short changing you for weeks.
No supercilious platitude will changes that.
Now if you would rather not be told of such conduct ~ don't read my posts.

Andy, makes you wonder where else are they skimming? Is it store wide with their products, or just in the bakery? Is it management or an employee? Curious to know if things are different now?

And on top off that it's illegal. Pricing has to accurately reflect contents. If you had the time I'd see the Manager, and if he doesn't react correctly I'd get his name and report to Corporate. There is a system failure somewhere and could impact other things as Daisy said. You have to win the little battles sometimes.

if it's illegal then i would have called the cops!
....to be honest, i think mayor carpenter has something to do with it....i think he's got the general manager of the cookie department at market basket skimming from the top, and sending the cookies each week his way....i mean, he is the reason why crime is so high in brockton, anyway
jacob tagger for mayor!

Pricing discrepancies are illegal in MA and you would contact the appropriate State Agency. This isn't the Mayor's fault but you knew that

I'm going to be wicked suspicious if I start seeing cookie platters at Mayor Carpenters fundraisers. Just saying.

Andy,
Just curious, do you know if the cookies were ones that were made in the store? It's possible that they're shipped to the store already in a container. If that were to be the case, the store employee wouldn't count the contents of each container. How long was the wait before you moved on. It's also possible that the clerk was looking for another container but had trouble finding one. What a customer requests isn't always readily available in a "back room" and has to be dug out.

bc, I assume the cookies were store baked. Those round tubs are too bulky to be packed off site & shipped.
I waited long enough for a 'fix' then checked behind the counter to see her working on something else. I am not a patient person.
I'm just wondering if any other IBC member has gone in & counted yet. Like I said, MB is not my regular food store. I go there when I want a rotisserie chicken.

Its possible, the problem is the size. If the cookies were too big then they would reach the required weight with fewer cookies. Still, if this is the case, they should be clear about it. You could call the department of weights and measures, maybe they will look into it.

Dept of Weights and Measures: "Hello?"
Andy P : "Yes, I'd like to file a report of fraud."
DWM : "Absolutely, sir. Can you tell us where this occurred?"
Andy P: "Yes, it happened at Market Basket."
DWM: "And what did it involve, sir?"
Andy P: "Cookies."
DWM: "Excuse me, sir?"
Andy P: "I bought a bag of cookies and it was 2 cookies short"
Employee at DWM puts hand over receiver and holds it away at arms length, and whispers to fellow employee: "We got one, Mike."
Mike's attention is piqued.
conversation resumes...
DWM clears throat: "Okay, sir, what would you like us to do?"
Andy P: "I think it needs to be investigated."
DWM bites lip trying not to laugh: "Maybe you should call 911."
Andy P: "Hey, I ride a bike and I take boxing lessons!"
DWM: "Are you on the hub?"
Andy P: "Huh?...No, why?"
DWM: "Well you should be!" ....then slams down phone, and breaks into hysterics with Mike.
Later that evening both employees of DWM go to Facebook to see if Andy P. has started a thread about his experience not only with Market Basket and the cookie mystery, but his experience with the DWM.
