What is this "Two" you speak of?

[Teefies2]

Okay people here's the deal.

I KNOW it's 4 days before Easter, trust me, I do.

But the signs that say "Limit 2 dozen eggs per person" are posted on EVERY shelf of the cooler, the cooler door and EVERY register. That means 2 - TWO. It does not mean: 2 dozen now, 2 dozen after you put those in the car and come back in; 2 dozen for you and 2 for your "poor sick momma" who's not here; 2 dozen for you and 2 for your 5 year old who "will pay for those herself" - she's FIVE! she doesn't have any money that you haven't given her specifically to get around this restriction; nor 12 dozen because "but I NEEEEEED them!!!!.

TWO means TWO. I am not "being mean" or "hate Easter" or "being a b****", I am doing what I am told by my manager.

Gods, I hate selling eggs at Easter!

[Food Lady]

We have the same problem with soda limits.

[Mr Hero]

Someone tried to get away with 12 dozen? That's not a gross eggs-aggeration is it?

Oh no is this gonna be filled with egg-stremely bad puns?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

These awful yolks crack me up.

[TimmyHate]

The worst thing is most are poached from elsewhere

[RealUnimportant]

Keep them coming, I need more egg puns for my albumen.

[sms001]

I thought these poultry puns would fry or scramble my brains but they went over easy.

And Teefs? I hear ya. Same thing with shaving cream and soap on Halloween. No means no. And really, two dozen? If you are THAT poor a planner, you deserve to have to drive around to a few stores - who probably have similar policies.

[gerund]

None of you have much to crow about if you spend all your time cooped up in here. Come out of your shell!

[dalesys]

You all need to be taken far and tethered.

We keep close to our roost 'round these parts.

Aaaand just because I cannot resist the temptation...(Yes, those are real)

[Trixie]

Sorry no egg puns here but you'd be surprised how people stock up on eggs when they're on sale. Mostly old people. During the weekly Blizzard of the Century this past winter the eggs flew out the door (Heh, funny) and we all agreed that buying eggs was kind of useless if the power went out. And I highly doubt most of our customers are survivalist types who totally prepare for emergencies.

[EricKei]

Buying fresh eggs straight from a farm (or from a Farmer's Market that carries them)? Sure. Those should last longer than "commercial-farm" ones without refrigeration. But, grocery-store eggssess? Uh, no. Not unless you plan to boil them that day, and even then, I dunno how long they'd stay edible - a few days, tops, if unopened?

[cindybubbles]

Have those people been drinking too much eggnog? As in the traditional, alcoholic kind?

[SixFortyK]

...without refrigeration...grocery-store eggssess? ... I dunno how long they'd stay edible - a few days, tops, if unopened?

According to the American Egg Council - 'eggs accidentally left at room temperature should be discarded after two hours, or one hour in warm weather.'

This bothers me to this day, but back in the late-80's/early-90's, I worked in a nationally known grocery store chain. The store was so busy, we could only fit the milk and yogurt into the storeroom refrigeration unit. The cheese and eggs were left out, without refrigeration. I have no idea how we got away with it.
