03 May 2008

Today, my boss Neil (who will never be a contender for Miss Congeniality) got into a heated argument with a customer who storming away in a huff turned to him and said (for best results imagine the voice of Rosie Perez) 'Joo gotta lotta issues. Joo need some Scientology!'
I had one today who came up to me in the fresh meat department, asking "Where is the $1.99 chicken?" I could only look blankly at her as she continued "It's frozen." I asked her what brand was it, but she didn't know. I pulled out a flyer, but it wasn't in there. I could only direct her to the frozen sections, but I know of no chicken that cheep.


er, cheap.

I had another customer today, who as she stood waiting for Neil to get off the phone and buy her books, turned to me and said "I just spent three days in the real world. It was no fun.'

Ooookayyy....

Why do people have to bring the joos into everything?

$1.99 per chicken or per pound, redvixen? Because here on the left coast, we may have $4/gallon gas but we almost always have chicken on same for less than $1.99 per pound... See? 99 cents a pound, leg quarters or full fryer, Foster Farms (the brand with the annoying chicken puppets in its ads).

On the other hand, everybody should know that some Scientology is NO cure for "issues", no matter how you pronounce it, and I, personally, haven't spent three consecutive days in the real world for months. I can feel her pain.

Heated arguments in a [what] bookstore¿ Brill./

aliceshoe, you're asking questions upside down again. It should be off the TOP of your head, not ON your head...

Chicken that cheap can not be good for anyone (least of all the chickens).

Just to clarify, the lady said $1.99 lb. frozen chicken. We don't sell chicken by the pound frozen. Sure, it comes in bags of frozen, but that's a straight price. We have chicken (fresh) for $1.99 or less here, too, wendell. Plus, she kept pointing at a photo in our flyer, saying "Just like that!" but the photo was of fresh, cooked pork chops. Go figure.

I am sad about Eight Belles. || Kitty Kong? or Cat-zilla? or maybe Garfieldfield?
