I like your style. I’m gonna keep my eye on you.
I am officially a veteran who’s disabled so I can joke.
- I get a pension!

I also leave carts behind when I put packages in the car.
Thank you for your service. I’m also a veteran as well with an award but not disabled from that.

This very true yet I was appreciative of this during the Pandemic.
When the frozen vegetable fridges were empty for months, I could always find vegetables in the Organic section because very few shoppers frequented there.
- I’m one of those assholes who can walk so folks don’t understand my insides are disintegrating.
Not my problem

I really miss Pathmark. I was a late night shopper when I was in college, and the overnight crew was really nice.
I still remember the layout of the Highridge Plaza Yonkers store even tough it’s been gone since 2015.
I agree on the inconvenience of shelving what is essentially the same product in three (or more) sections. I couldn’t find my favorite pepperoncini until I discovered that Cento was shelved with the pasta and sauces, while all the other brands were with the pickles.
It’s all a ploy to get you to buy online–assuming you want to spend the time comparing everything and dealing with possible substitutions.
That’s one advantage of Aldi–they’re too small to spread the stuff around very much, and they don’t have as many varieties of anything.

Supermarkets are trying to get you to buy on line? #confused
Online from them. That’s what my friend does from Food Emporium, and I see lots of “pickers” in Shoprite when I’m there.

Oh! That makes a lot more sense.
OMG the carts. Can’t believe people can’t take the tiny trip to get to the corral.
My favorite is the expensive truck taking up two parking spots. Yeah, your pickup is that flippin’ special.
Drives me nuts when they move stuff around.
Bothers me when a kid goes haywire in a store and parents do nothing. Kid punching in loaves of bread right in front of a parent. Not a word.
I also despise a sale in which the seller advertises a great price, but only stocks a pittance of the sale item.
I also tend to frequent stores with paper bags. If you make tortilla chips, you need paper bags.
I like to self checkout, if I don’t have a tron.

There are certain birds of considerable size that really don’t have much meat. Wild geese, for example. So, I’ll share with you the Mississippi backwater goose recipe.
Dip goose into boiling water to remove feathers. Wrap goose in bacon. Bake for 1:20. Remove bacon, throw away goose. Enjoy bacon.
As big as a turkey vulture is, I bet they don’t have tons of meat. They have to fly.
A wild turkey, on the other hand, has the meat; but it’s mostly the breast you can consume. You would need to pressure cook the leg quarters for some time to get it anywhere near edible. I always breast them out and make them like two roasts.
Never tried a starling. Prolly never will, either.
Me, too. I just don’t trust anyone to pick our my groceries.
Fat free half and half. I didn’t know that existed. Kind of like “boneless ribs.” What!?
I’m pretty sure I am my wife’s peeve. Rarely does she join me in the grocery store. That’s a good thing. I know the prices of everything we might consume. She likes to just pick what she wants, even if it’s triple the price. Now, if that extra money is made up in product value, no sweat. Then, I’ll run the item back and get the better deal. Drives her nuts. Short drive, though.
Post of the month, eh. LOL!!! That’s great. Do you grin as you saunter down the aisles?

I loved HEB when I visited Texas last. Nice stores. Which harissa do you prefer? Since having a great Tunisian girl in my school, I have trouble replacing the two tubes she gave me. I’m already on the second tube. here’s the kicker. The stuff she uses is made in France. That surprised me.

+1. If you use cilantro with any regularity, you know hot damn well you bruise one leaf, in a few days, it’s all black slime. Gotta wrestle with every bunch of cilantro to find the one you like. Grr.
Or, pick up something, decide you don’t want it, and put it by the marshmallows, or tortilla shells. I saw a young man do this one day. The second he let go of the gherkin jar, I was on it. “Hey, I’ll get that for you. My midlife butt can still walk. Two aisles over, by the pickles, right? Just relax…I got it.” I should save up some of BBQ’s intestinal venom for that guy next time.

I used to do Instacart for a while during the pandemic. While I almost always would return items the customer decided they suddenly didn’t want anymore to their proper place, sometimes I simply didn’t have the time to take the item back… especially if I was at the checkout line already. Good thing supermarkets have staff that deals with putting them back where they belong.
Does she use Le Phare du Cap Bon? It’s Tunisian, but the French might mislead. (That’s my goto harissa, at any rate.)
