I recently went to Migros Hauptbahnhof and bought a few items, two of which were 50% discounted. But as you can see the discount is slightly less than 50% (CHF 3.95 down to CHF 2.00, and CHF 5.95 down to CHF 3.00). I know this is only a few cents (realistically 10 cents in my case) difference but I'm sure this is totalling quite a substantial sum across all discounted sales they're making. Is this even legal or am i being pedantic here?

  2. I dunno about the legalities of it, but 50% should be 50% at the end of the day.

    And with that logic the difference would only be 2.5 rappen per product with the 50% off. So 5 rappen in total instead of 10. But you’re right, it all adds up

  3. You’re a good Bünzli! But must post it on r/buenzli , not here.

  4. This is very clearly because both items would’ve been at 2.5 cents and since that doesn’t exist with francs and 5 is the minimum amount they just rounded it up to that (to their favour)

    Edit: Yes, imo you’re being pedantic.

  5. It is correct math.

    3.95/2 = 1.975 => 2.00

    Be happy that you got 50%, cause Coop only gives you 40% on old stuff now.

  6. Is migros discount the new swiss rant trend ? Have seen like 5 posts about them lately
