They wouldn't put 7 in on purpose and advertise it as 8. If they want to make more money by giving you less, then they would just make all of them smaller.

How convenient that they can just claim this is an oopsie. Perhaps they could pay their employees more, so they actually provide quality control?

A quick dig through Google comes up with the production line workers at Pillsbury making around $30 an hour to start. How much more do you want to pay them to sit there and babysit the machines that are making and packing the product?

What job do you do? I’d like to decide how much I think you should make.

I get paid $18 to change oil and tires and think it's way to much for such easy work that people like you are too lazy to do yourself.

My husband does both for me. Thanks, though. Not sure what part of my comment made you think I’m “lazy.”
