Who is it supposed to target for non entry ?

Edeka-adjacent.jpg Is the packaging too big or is the filet too small? If the packaging was smaller, would you have still bought it, or would you have considered it too expensive for that amount of filet? Will this deception prevent you buying it in the future?

Oops, while applying for an emissions sticker at https://www.tuev-nord.de, I sent them a copy of my Fahrzeugbrief instead of my Fahrzeugschein.
