  • I'm sorry, but where do you think you are?

    I work at a warehouse store. You know, one where you have to have a membership and buy things in bulk. We mostly sell to small businesses and families that stock up. We're famous for it.
    So this one customer starts complaining that our roasts are too big. "They never think about the people who are single!" she huffs.
    Cue me thinking this post's title.
    I have a...thing. Wanna see it?

    Um...aside from that (if you are the club I think you are), also, weren't they originally made for people with small businesses? IE people who NEED in bulk?

    And I would be happy to buy a huge roast if I was single. Being tiny and single would mean I'd eat gooooooood for several DAYS.

      There are so many things you can do with leftover roast...
      The customer is always right, but this is a public house, and you are a guest.

        Absolutely! Cook it, cut it into individual servings and freeze them seperately. You'll have meals for a month!

          Thing that gets me is that the customer was complaining about the size of it right? And this store, which is known for selling things in bigger sizes, is obviously for people who are looking for things in bigger sizes, thus the main reason they shop there. So if she knows this, why is she shopping there?

            Buy big roast.

            Cut into smaller roasts.

            Freeze most of them. Cook one. Have the rest later.

            4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

              This is exactly what I do. Buy them large when on sale and freeze away.

                I cut my huge roasts into small roasts or into steaks, depending on type of roast. Freeze and don't have to buy beef for a bit. I try to buy meats, canned goods and paper goods in bulk. The rest, I just go to *gasp* a store that has the single serves!
                If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

                  I get this on occasion at The Warehouse, because some people don't understand the simple logic that big portions can be cut into smaller portions. In fact, I had one couple yesterday doing that with a bunch of roasts -- saved them not only about $50 in meat, but also time and energy.

                  Can't please everyone.
                  Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

                    I've had friends want to go 50/50 with me on a membership there. It's just me and Hubs....wth are we going to do with that much food? (Plus, traffic by ours is a NIGHTMARE...I'd rather stay on my side of town and not deal with the mess that is over there.)

                    Basically, we don't need it, so we don't shop there. When we have kids someday, we probably will shop there. Boom. Problem solved.

                      I'm an avid member of both of the warehouse stores in this city. Why? I live 30 miles out of town - and I *hate* shopping. So I buy a few months worh of mostly non-perishables at a time and put it away. Less expensive, less trouble.
