  • "but it was only 2 weeks!!" (Kinda gross)

    My first week as a customer service rep for a grocery store went like this:

    SC: Stupid grouchy lady
    Me:

    I'm still in training, and I am greeted by this heavyset lady with a mean attitude, and a plastic bag from our competitor that smells absolutely awful, and I have only half a thought of what was coming next..by the way, I like my work place clean (semi-important)

    SC-*Slams wet, bloody, awful-smelling bag on my freshly clean counter*
    "This meat's bad, I want my money NOW!"
    ME-"..Erm..OK. Let's see..." *Grabs return slip, instinctively pokes at bag with a pen, looking for a barcode*

    Theres a big chunk of roasting meat, still with original styrofoam and plastic wrap, but has been opened. Crap...

    *Gives up with pen, and turns meat around, deperately looking for barcode. No Barcode=No Return*
    SC-"Ah only had that meat in mah fridgerader for 2 weeks! It shudda been still good!"

    Me-*Mentally vomits* You had this for two weeks in your fridge!?" *Found barcode, which had expiration date of 4 days before*
    "Ma'am, we can't take this meat back. It's going to be bad because it's already expired."
    CS- *Slams both hands on counter and starts ranting about how a fridge should magically keep everything good forever, as that is what fridges are for*

    She didn't stay very long, and left her meat on my counter so I just threw it away. Still, that meat was totally horrifying. Bleh.

    I'm reminded of the guy who beat a tube of meat on the counter until it exploded; and the guy who left meat in the trunk of his car for 4 days in the blazing sun; I think both were around before the site got hacked some years back.

    Regardless, what happened to using the freezer? That keeps the meat better for longer than the fridge. Idiot woman needs to be slapped with wet, expired salmon.

      Sounds different when taken out of context, doesn't it?

          Ohhhhh....yuuuck...

          I was in produce at a Hannafords where, if you were not happy with your product you got double your money back; of course common sense means this is on things that go bad the day after you buy it, things like that.

          This little old lady came in with a coconut and was ranting about how she bought it for her granddaughter's b-day party, and when the kids opened it up it was rotten, and how we ruined the party because we sell bad fruit..etc. etc. We asked her how long ago she bought it...

          4-MONTHS!

          She was under the impression that because it had a hard shell it would keep forever! I don't think she got her money back...

                I've had ground beef in the freezer for 6+ months and it was still good. Maybe a little feezerburned but this was totally gross. Not green yet (but damn close)...not surprising though. the people from Baltimore aren't the most intelligent bunch I've seen.

                  Ohhh, great site!

                  Or maybe not, knowing that there is so much suck out there that not one website alone can contain it!

                    Filly-That's CS circa 2005, archived. I browse it sometimes and I wish we had some more sections like the ones there. Hm...might have to suggest it.

                      1. You put meat in a FREEZER for long term storage, not a fridge.

                      2. Neither a refrigerator nor a freezer are time capsules meant to hold things forever.

                      However, this is a SC we're dealing with, not a person who can think, so such concepts would fly right over their heads.

                        Guh. Reminds me of this one SC who came in one morning when I worked the front door a few years ago. He'd bought some meat from us that had gone bad (well before the expiration date listed), and as he came in, he explained he wanted to return it. He didn't even open the bag, just held it up, and the smell made me start to gag. I cut him off, mid-explanation, and told him to head up to the customer service desk. He then gave me this sly look, then deliberately waved the bag in front of my face, just to watch me turn a disquieting color and gag again.

                        Jerk.
