I just visited Costco and looked at the first isle of canned fish, supposedly at a bulk price. Tuna in 12 oz. cans seemed cheap, but then I looked at the contents label in small print and discovered that it has 5 oz. of water. I brought this to the attention of a manager standing nearby, and he assured me the label is accurate and there is no fraud.

Maybe it's just that I don't really trust Costco or the way it markets its store card along with the Costco Citi Visa credit card. You have to be a member of Costco or the card gets cancelled.
