f***ing croissants

Geant supermarket has been selling croissants for months,
alternating its price from NT$36 for 6 to NT$49 for 8
which didn't really make sense
since the unit price is almost the same (ca. NT$6)
but presumably it had good reason for continually changing the price

today i suddenly found out why:
they are now priced at NT$49 for 6
(unit price of ca. NT$8; a 33% increase)
even i was confused

which presumably is Geant's intention


also, potatoes were NT$45(ish) for 1.2kg
for the longest time
today they are NT$49
a small increase (ca. 10%), acceptable perhaps
but the bag felt light
and had no weight indicated
so i weighed it:
1.0 kg
so actually a sneaky increase also of about 33%


watch out, there's a thief about
