Whole chickens have been cheap lately, as low as $.88 per lb. People
sometimes steal the labels off of them to either stick on to more
expensive, larger chickens or (I found that out when I called the store
about my missing label), they stick them on more expensive packages of
meat and the cashiers miss it.

I bought one very small $.88 per lb. chicken that cost less than $3.00.
It was under 4 lbs. I know it had a label when I took it from the bin
but I noted when I got home, the label had been torn off and there was
paper residue on the package so I know it did not fall off!

I was watching the bagger and not paying attention to the cashier so I
know he is the one that did it. I called the store and told them about
it.

They said it was not uncommon and hard for them to control that. I take
advantage of sales rather than stealing. :-(

I'd never even considered doing something like that!
