That does not apply in today's world where shrinkflation and consumer fraud run rampant.
It us solely the company's responsibility to ensure each package is labeled with the correct weight, not the consumer to tolerate excuses like "measuing errors" whether they're valid or not. Companies have too much power to just not know or be able to accurately weigh or label their product, ergo if there's a problem, they chose to have it in there. And if you dispute that, I will simply block you and move on.
Stop defending evil corporations. Stop doing this.
You think tolerances and measuring errors don't exist just because shrinkflation and fraud are things that exist?
I hate capitalism and corporate bullshit, too, but I don't need to get outraged at the shit that's barely an inconvenience like missing 8 grams of spaghetti in a 410 gram package that was mass produced. That shit would happen even if the companies weren't asshats.
Yes, they are literally just excuses for shrinkflation and companies only benefit from shitheads like you to give them an easy out.
The world doesn't revolve around tiny minute details and jargon from a field that doesn't actually positively affect most people's lives.
Our kitchen scales are the standard, not your overblown overpriced ones that are too precise to be meaningful to the average consumer.
We are in charge, not you.
That's a lot of words to say "I don't actually understand how technology works".
