How many people are thinking that they are getting 20lb (as they would
if they took their own tanks to a refilling station) for a good price
but getting only 15lb?

Only those who are in such a hurry that they don't read the sign.

After not having to read the sign for the past 50 years, it is a sleazy
way of raising the price. Yes, it may be legal, it may be show on the
label, but I don't read the sticker on a dozen eggs either. It has always
been that way.



You expected something else? It has always been buyer beware. Whole stores
are designed to take advantage of impulse buyers, and hurried shoppers.
Those who take their time and actually read things fare a little better.
Like those smaller "pound" coffee cans.......................
