  • Rude crude food, dude!

    At my store, we see "ASS" (assorted) on shelf tags and even product cases with some regularity. The case markings give some context, but the shelf tags do not. Even "ASST" would be better; the tag data is sent from Corporate, so you'd think they could figure it out (we have some shelf tags that make no sense, and multiple similar items that have the same tag descriptor so if you're doing a price run and have tags for 3 or 4 of said products all with different SKUs...no idea which goes where).

    Best (worst?) one I saw today was "ASS CREME" (assorted creme something).

    At my old store, the price tag for the big bowl of deli egg salad said "ASK EGG SALAD" (no idea what ASK stands for). So at the start of every shift, we'd ask it something (usually along the lines of "am I gonna get all the crazies tonight?"), and the deli manager would "channel" the salad's answer. I was waiting for one of the deli guys to hide a small speaker under the bowl...

      One of my favorites was from an overpriced "boutique" indie grocery where I used to work -- There were multiple times where an item was advertised as being a "Special," but not actually discounted in any way. After a while, I got frustrated with these (I usually just passed customer inquiries off to the managers) and asked about it. The reply? "Oh, it's on special; it's just not on sale."

      Not sorry that I left that place behind long ago.
