Damn, it’s like they don’t want you to get at the raisins. There must be a better way… You either mutilate the bag and your fingers, or cut it with scissors (or a knife - not recommended lol) , either way can’t be resealed without additional apparatus
Now let’s talk about stickers on produce that leave adhesive behind. Yet another user experience principle thrown to the wayside by middle management who don’t understand the problem the old stickers solved.
People are asshats. That’s why
It’s all about cost reduction and fraud prevention. Those cheap stickers are simply tamper-proof, getting easily destroyed upon removal. Prevents being resticked onto other items. A simple example would be thiefes who remove discount labels or price tags from cheap items and put those onto expensive items, ready to argue that the item must’ve been mislabled by the store and then insist on the low price. Doesn’t work with a tampered sticker.
Also, there actually are easy-to-remove labels being used - just not for pricing out stuff.
Well also if something is supposed to be tamper evident they have a (usually legal) incentive to make sure it stays on a all times. They don’t do the testing to find the best sticker adhesive or what is easiest for the consumer because at the end of the day they need it to do one job. You could easily find the best adhesive for the material you are using that stays on very well and can be removed without leaving residue or damage behind. You may have to pay 2 times as much for a better sticker anyway. Not worth the time
Good point also
