Some people never cease to amaze me any more. First of all, if she wanted this corn for free and found it in a cart in the parking lot, she should have just put them in her car and been done with it. Second, how do we know she didn't just pick these ears of corn out and then make up a story that she found them? This is why even grocery stores need security cameras, because of asshats like this. I'm kind of surprised she didn't just say "I'm leaving" and cause you all more headache with a cartload of go-backs.

I can imagine if it was bagged, and the person who bought them left them in the cart and went home, and came back and said, "I left them in the cart out in the sun, and the birds might have gotten at them. Can you give me three new ears of corn?"
Or imagine that someone was getting corn and putting it in the basket. This SC sees a basket with corn in it and while the original person of the basket has her back turn to get more corn, this SC grabs the basket, and since the corn was there already, it's free!Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.
Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

Quoth Pagan View PostI don't get that it's "bad" though. You can tell if birds have been at it and just sitting in the sun's not going to make it spoil.
Quoth Nashida View PostD: You are in a store, ma'am. When you shop, you look for things. You find them. That's how shopping works.
Good for the supervisor. A lot of CSR's would have froze up and stumbled for a reply before saying that.

Here's a scary story: There was a guy who ran his own small produce shop who used to come in and buy up all the stuff we were about to throw out. He'd call ahead, and the manager would have someone pack it all up for him, and load it into his van for him when he arrived.
Needless to say, I never bought anything from that shop.Sometimes life is altered.

Quoth Nashida View PostSee, it was in the middle of the parking lot, and there's a Mc. Duck's in the same lot. We have seagulls, pigeons, other birds, etc. flying around, so we just made a guess to try and avoid having a lawsuit if she did eat it and got Avian Flu for all we knew. I doubt the sun would've done much more than scorch it, it was just whatever else was out there.
Avian Flu would be the least of our worries around here. What with Hantavirus, West Nile, plague, rabies on occasion....
Quoth LifeCarnie View PostYou can tell if the birds have been at it. But you can't tell if some freak stuck a syringe full of cyanide or something else into it.It's floating wicker propelled by fire!

The real reason he wouldn't let her have the corn wasn't that she might have been lying, or that the corn was spoiled, but was he did not want to reinforce SC behavior.
However, if a seagull was trying to get the corn, he'd probably be successful."I don't have to be petty. The Universe does that for me."

I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Quoth Pagan View PostSee, we don't have seagulls. We've got pigeons, but none that I've seen have been bright enough to have gotten to something left in a cart!"I am quite confident that I do exist."

Quoth Dreamstalker View PostRoadrunners? My dad was once waiting for us outside the Century Rio (he was picking my mom and I up from the Amtrak station) and a huge roadrunner came waddling up to him and stood there waiting for food. Dad thinks a lot of people fed it popcorn, so it came to equate anyone sitting outside with food.It's floating wicker propelled by fire!

Quoth BlaqueKatt View PostGahhhhh evil...evil...evil
sorry-but anyone who knows anything about food production should know that once you strip the husk from corn all the nice happy little sugars(that make it "sweet corn")begin to oxidixe into unsweet starches. You should never husk corn until you are ready to cook it. try this experiment-remove the husk from one ear of corn at the store-mar it somehow when you get home(cut the "stem" at a point or something)-remove the husk from the rest you plan on cooking right before cooking-try both the earlier husked corn and the just before cooking husked corn-there will be a massive difference in taste.
My mom never husked corn until we were about to cook it, though, and it's a habit I picked up from her long before I found out that it actually preserves the flavor."Enough expository banter. It's time we fight like men. And ladies. And ladies who dress like men. For Gilgamesh...IT'S MORPHING TIME!"

Quoth Pagan View PostThere's a few that live around where I work and they walk up to the windows and look in like they want to take a class. And there's been quite a few particularly chubby ones over at CNM's Westside Campus."I am quite confident that I do exist."
