Packaging nonsense: an end after all - at least in this case

Verpackungsunsinn: doch ein Ende - zumindest in diesem Fall

My old post from 11/14/2017:

Tonight on "Kassensturz": Plastic recycling. My example:

In our newly remodeled Migros, grilled chicken was previously sold open from the display in a coated paper bag, which could also be used in the microwave and for disposing of the bones if necessary. Today: plastic tray and lid approx. 25 x 20 x 15 cm, must also be packed in a "Chräschlisack" because of condensation! Also in the "Daily" area: plastic pots, dishes and cutlery! Great job, Migros! "Generation M" !?!?
<<

Wow! Consumers have done it with their apparently massive in-store complaints:
Today, after more than a year and two months, the grilled chicken could be bought in paper bags again!!! The ecological idiocy with the oversized plastic packaging has come to an end - and apparently no more staff are needed after all! My "Migros grilled chicken boycott" has also come to an end!

Dear @jeanmarcpicard

Thank you for your message. I am in contact with the division managers to find out more about this. I will get back to you as soon as I have more information.

Best regards, Marina

Thank you Marina. But I think I already know the answer: fewer staff needed at the Daily!
But I still have a bigger grievance pending: escalator not -band and no more scales on the 1st floor (store): everyone has to use the elevator!!! Apparently due to lack of space? No: planning error in the conversion! Demand for rectification already placed!

Alleged environmental protection measures such as this politically motivated charge for Raschelsäckli seem funny or ridiculous when new products are added to the range, where, as with these frozen Belgian Little Cheesecakes, each bite is practically in its own little hard plastic cup! There are six little cups in a cardboard box and each cup is enough for one or at most two teaspoons!

I think there are countless other examples, and not just in Migros. For example, you could buy individual pieces of cake, cream slices, cornets, etc. at the caterer, which were sold in a cardboard box or with a napkin for immediate consumption! Today, you have to buy a whole cake or 4 cream slices/cornets at once in large plastic packaging! At my previous place of work, there was another wholesaler opposite where I used to treat myself to a cornet for dessert every now and then. Then there was a rebuild, the Traiteur was gone (of course, they want to save on staff), Cornet only in multipacks! Without me: no more! It was better for the line; well, I sometimes bought it from the patisserie next door.....

But: we consumers have it in our own hands! The same applies to fruit/vegetables: no one has ever died from a "Näggi" in an apple or a bent carrot!

Hello Marina. Thank you for your request. It concerns Migros "Neumarkt" in Burgdorf. However, I have already "made myself clearly known" via the customer survey carried out, as well as via the m-Infoline and the Migros Aare Cooperative, Schönbühl. According to the latest information, this has been passed on to the relevant departments. I - and many other disgruntled customers - will continue to monitor developments. Let's see how the planners want to iron out this "goat". Best regards Jean-Marc.
