I was stocking the shelves at the Store today when a Helpful Customer flagged me down and let me know she'd found an open, partially-consumed package on the shelf. This happens way too often - someone cracks open a soda, drinks half of it, and abandons it without paying for it. Sometimes it's a bag of chips, or some hot food from the deli. Sometimes our LP is able to bust them for it, and those moments are glorious.
This time, though, the product which the customer had taken the cap off of, opened up the inner seal, taken half of, and put back on the shelf, was an 8-ounce jar of garlic powder.
Why?
How do you wind up in a situation where you urgently need enough garlic powder to last you about five years, but you can't afford to spend sixty-eight cents on it? I don't even.
