1/2 Easter bunny for 50%

Guest · 2020-04-18T09:14:56.983Z

Just in Migros Uster: Two large shelves with Easter chocolate for 50%, but all of the estimated 60 Easter bunnies (really every one!) were damaged. Ears off, face dented, head broken off, hole in the belly. I can't believe that this is a coincidence given the number of bunnies. Are they afraid that the chocolate bunnies will be resold or that people might want to look at them in the cupboard before they are "slaughtered"? It's a real shame.

They were already 50% BEFORE Easter, so I don't think your idea corresponds to reality and they really are the broken bunnies. And you wouldn't believe how much customers break😂 But I wouldn't pay 50% for broken ones😗

But the chocolate is still good, and it gets smaller in your mouth too...😉

They were already 50% off BEFORE EasterThat explains why everything was already gone in my favorite store on Wednesday - I've never seen anything like it in all these years. So they recommend that you shouldn't go shopping at the last minute before the holidays (I never do anyway), and then they reward those who don't stick to it with reduced Easter chocolate, while those who do go empty-handed. Merci dear Migros, you've just made me realize with this promotion that the chocolate eggs from Coop aren't bad either :P - they still had plenty of them today, at a third of the original price *lick*

@Federwolke Yes, that's never happened before. Never been necessary either. But Easter 2020 was a special time. I suspect that since there were far fewer non-essential purchases before Easter, it became apparent that people would be stuck with Easter stuff, which is why it was offered at half price even before the holidays. Even though there was something to celebrate for a few days, the Easter stuff was just a bit out of place this year; people need other products more at the moment, which is why they wanted the Easter chocolate gone beforehand if possible. That's my thinking. Maybe it's wrong. Maybe it was about something else. I don't know. The only thing I'm sure of is that this early action must have something to do with the current coronavirus situation. And that's why I don't think it's fair to be spiteful towards Migros' behavior in this regard.

I have a different point of view, why shouldn't people need chocolate bunnies? A distraction, something nice and special that does you good, not 24/7 Coronacoronacorona. Fun and distraction are never unimportant for the psyche and nobody really has to go hungry here. Just dry bread and water? These are hardships that exist in other countries, where you don't know if you'll have food the next day. But we have it good, so to speak, and don't have to make it more dramatic by canceling Easter. Of course it was different, but if you're sitting at home you should make it as good as possible and not cut out the little pleasures too. There are ALWAYS "more important things" and children are dying in Africa anyway... I hope you understand what I'm getting at. It would have been nice if they hadn't just done the campaign on Saturday, there was clearly a concentration of more customers, I also thought about whether I should go out again even though I had already bought everything on Wednesday. But it wasn't worth it to me. And well, then I was left empty-handed on Tuesday, I took a little crackling powder rabbit anyway and that's just the way it should be, yes, there are more important things. But you don't always have to think you can't treat yourself. At least that's how I see it, even if I can understand your point of view. And yes, I've tightened my belt even more and have bigger worries, but letting myself get carried away doesn't help anyone either.

@Bodenseeknusperli Where did I say that people shouldn't need chocolate bunnies? I assume that other products were and still are more important to many people this year. See hamster purchases and toilet paper. That's why I mean the phrase "out of place" literally. The stores - and not just Migros - need the space for other things at the moment, and seasonal goods are - unfortunately - getting in the way. As I haven't been in a store since the lockdown began, I don't know what the situation is like there at the moment. But I imagine that some stores have cleared away the promotional tables - even if only partially. On Saturday, Migros probably still had too much Easter chocolate in the stores, so they put the goods down so that customers had an incentive to "clear away the goods". Perhaps this meant that the staff had a little less work on Tuesday, as they had to get the "normal goods" replenished in the stores. Or did they? Be that as it may, nowhere did I say that Easter chocolate was banned. Only that I suspect that other goods were more important to many people. As we saw - for example - with toilet paper all over the world.

Hmm... Night splitter. If you think my lines are hateful, then I hope you never have to read anything from me when I'm really hateful ;) On the contrary: I'm grateful to Migros. Grateful that after all these years of being a loyal customer and even an owner, they are increasingly making me aware that there are also really good products elsewhere at a great price-performance ratio. This has been the case for some time and has become even more so in recent weeks. It may be that what Migros is currently doing is great for a lot of people. For me and my personal needs, however, the competition is currently (and has been for some time, but now even more so) doing a lot better. Not just in terms of the product range, but also in terms of promotions and, above all, in terms of managing customer flows and at the checkouts. For many years, around 75% of my household budget went to Migros and the rest to the competition. For about 2-3 years it was 50/50 and for a few weeks now it has been completely reversed to the disadvantage of Migros. I'm not angry about it - I'm glad that I'm being taught to be more flexible. But as a Migros owner, I also say what I feel: Namely that for some years now, Migros has mainly been delivering more than delivering. If you look at the development figures of the major distributors, it's obviously not just me. It's a shame, but I can live with it. Whether Migros can also live with it remains to be seen.

So even today we still had tons of Easter bunnies and bags of Schoggi Eili with a 50% discount.

@Federwolke I agree with you. Until a few years ago, I bought as much as possible from Migros and only very specific items from other suppliers. Today it's exactly the opposite. On the one hand, the others have improved massively, but on the other, Limmatplatz seems to be keen for customers to migrate to the competition.

I rather suspect that people were annoyed that it didn't really have any explainable closed-off areas. Really, the little bit of toys and laundry could have remained open. You don't need make-up for BASIC NEEDS either...! I don't quite understand the arrangement of the waistband. We just need a few things like that, just like small items from the DIY store. We urgently need children's shoes. I just don't feel like ordering them, sometimes more than 10 pairs... I think that now that so many more fresh vegetables are being sold, you can actually see what customers want to eat! All this sugar stuff, ready-made products aren't so popular, but they're practical when you're going to work. And sweets for the psyche were bought a lot anyway. Maybe it really was too much Easter junk again. I took a double pack of fine Lindtäfeli (Denner on offer). Our kids here thought that was much better (uff gourmet).

"They were already 50% BEFORE Easter" ... why didn't I notice them then?! if there are so many snapped off ears or heads, and not a single complete one among the many 50-60-70 pieces, then I have my doubts about your theory. and please stop demonizing the oh-so-many evil bad customers here who break so much. Do you stand there for 8 hours a day and watch all these evil customers?

Who said anything about bad customers? That's your interpretation, mishaps happen and you're never angry with the customer. Even if a yogurt flies off, just write it down and wipe it up, that's fine. And no, I haven't been there for 8 hours, but I've been working in sales for 15 years, so smashed food was still the most harmless thing😙↵↵Have you ever told the staff on site about your concerns and suspicions? It seems to concern your store if there are 70 broken bunnies there, talk to the manager or is that stupid because it's not anonymous but eye to eye? I'm sure he can tell you why they look like that, because I'm curious myself. I've never experienced so many broken ones, even when I was volunteering in Caritas markets where you used to get the leftover seasonal chocolate. But admittedly I was 20 then and even more committed to helping strangers alongside my job, today you know that people just grumble at you anyway, no matter how nice you mean it😋↵↵Edit: read this message in a caring, helpful tone that wants to help you and understands you, not accusatory or anything. Thank you

There may have been a mishap and the employees may have dropped a batch of Easter bunnies... broken bunnies are no longer bought at the normal price anyway. So perhaps they were put on the sales floor when the liquidation began - just one possible explanation.
