Then again with modern Americans/Illegals doesn't surprise me one bit.
Maybe the dipchits had the scale on KG instead of Pounds, anyone under 35 would not know the difference or give a chit.
Many probably don't pay for the food themselves and/or don't know or care what those numbers even mean, sadly.

Friend,
Thank you for sharing this news with us. Sam’s Club also has a problem with mislabeling seafood weights. Sam’s Club listed weights versus actual weights. It is a reminder that each of us should carry his or her own scales when grocery shopping. I weigh every grocery item, as well as every pizza, before purchasing or eating.
Yours,

Friend,
I am reminded of a passage from Proverbs, one of which I am a particular adherent.
Whether through incompetence or corruption, a dishonest merchant should be brought to light and face justice.
Best regards,
Fr33

Forget Walmart. I need to carry my own scale into Whole Foods. I paid $30 for two spoons of rice, one piece of baked fish, and a spoon of green beans.

You’re an ignorant prick.

Personally I use.
"The Lord detests a dishonest scale, but finds favor with accurate weights."

3.26% not the 30%
Net profit. Are their operating expenses that large?
Walmart's gross margins are about 25% which is in line with industry standards, maybe even a touch low.
Their net income is typically about 2.5 - 3.5% of net revenue, which is pretty damn tight, even for the big box / grocer business which is a notoriously low margin business (Costco and Target, to name two, are usually a bit above that).
Their SG&A alone is about 20% of net revenue - it's expensive to operate stores of that scale, stock them, fulfill them, merchandise them, source for them, operate their supply chain, on and on and on and on.
Effectively, you are paying about a 25% markup to be able to go to Walmart and buy everything from retail to grocery in one location instead of going one by one to PepsiCo, Dole, JBS, Tyson, Cargill, Nestle, General Mills, P&G, Levi's, Hanes, and on and on to buy every consumable component of living.

Guy looks like a fatass. Maybe he should be more concerned with hitting the gym than weighing his food.
And just how do you relate a man's physical stature to having a supermarket rip off customers by misrepresenting the weight of packaged food they are selling????
Food is expensive enough without a store charging 2+ times or more for a pre-packaged hunk of meat that was weighed incorrectly.

Indeed.

This guy could probably flag the issue to the guy at the meat counter and save fellow customers a lot of money.

Instead he is chasing that social media clout.

Large grocery stores are doing exceptional if they get 4-5%.
Ok, I see the discussion going on over gross and net now.
