I went to my local Coop today and noticed that products that are normally 50% off at that time (salad, baked goods, meat) were marked at a maximum of 40% off. Is that a new strategy? One more reason to avoid Coop?

  1. I heard of this before. Apparently some Places had these a while ago. But looks like Coop implemented them everywhere now

  2. one mor reason to avoid coop, you said it. I know their marketing department, and they are malignantly greedy

  3. Yup, that is something new. 40% are still a better deal than the full price.
    But it feels shady when you think about the slogan: “Verwenden statt Verschwenden”.
    Since now a lot probably will be just thrown away cause people will not like that the “discount” is now less than 50%.

  4. 20% und 40% respektive

    anstatt 25/50

    aber hey sie hättet au 39.95% chöne mache

  5. This is crazy! It was helping to reduce food waste to discount things! Why would they knock up margins on shit they will just throw away at the end of the day.

    ETA: they already had a 25% sticker too..

  6. It is now for many many months.
    No surprise here. Sorry and unfortunately.

    And one of the reason is that they have now regular offers of 50%discount or two for one. So in a marketing guy’s brain this is a conflict.

  9. I guess throwing away marginally more food is worth the 10%
