A....a thirty-five...dollar...ham?
Sniff...snivel...WAAAAH!
Sorry. I recently added ham to my cooking repertoire and discovered the value of good ingredients in a six-dollar untrimmed salt-cured pork shoulder.
I could probably excuse canned goods, but those who leave perishables around to rot, especially expensive ones, should be turfed. They're contributing to shrink as surely as any shoplifter. In fact, I'll be a little controversial here and say that in some ways it's actually worse than shoplifting, because a) it's not seen as theft, since they didn't keep the item, and b) they get none of the benefit though they deprive the store of the profit of it. At least with shoplifting, there's a logic leading to a motive.
A thirty-five dollar ham? Good GAWD. Time to take that person's rewards card away.
Love, Who?
