I’m guessing math is not their forte

For a good while, I’ve been buying Kellogg Raisin Bran Crunch, on Amazon. I buy a box with two packs and usually buy two boxes. It’s quite a bit cheaper than the grocery store.

On my last two orders, from different vendors, I received one box with two packs.

Is it really that hard, that they can’t count two boxes, for which they charged me for? 🙄

They also can't count two scoops, so they're consistent.

But if they could, they would be 'regular'...

Are you ordering stuff that's "Prime" and fulfilled by Amazon or are you ordering direct from the other vendors through Amazon?

If you're ordering Prime and fulfilled by Amazon, then it's the overworked folks at Amazon that are screwing you. If it's the other folks then it's the vendors.

Either way, I suspect what's really screwing you is Hanlon's Razor. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

^^^ Other vendors. Amazon seems to be a little more reliable than other vendors, but they don’t have this.

No one can math. Counting to two is a new low...

That said. I was pumping diesel out of a pump that had 3 lines between 0-5 cents. It stopped at the first line and i had to think if i should give the cashier 1 or 2 pennies. I rounded up.

Maybe they hadn’t had their coffee yet. When I first read your post (pre coffee) I thought, “WTF is he talking about?”

I mean, “ I buy A box with two packs and usually buy two boxes,” is contradictory.
Do you buy one box or two?
So post-coffee I think you are saying you buy two boxes that have two packs in each one.

Costco has the box with two bags of Honey Bunches Of Oats for a decent price. Cereal can get expensive.

Each box has two bags of cereal in it. I bought two boxes, for a total of four bags.

I notified the seller about the shortage and have yet to hear back from them.
