I am not even supposed to be here today!

I shop a bit at the base, and they actually set up a "barrier" - you leave your cart there and pass forward to the meat / dairy cases to pick out your stuff.
Problem with that is I don't want them 30 minutes before I want them and 30 minutes before I want them,I'm not hungry but when I want them, want them now and not 30 minutes from now and if I pull them out now, I may not want them in 30 minutes-or I might have decided to go for waffles instead.
I take my dog for a 30 minute VERY brisk walk every morning (she's half lab and half Rhodesian Ridgeback), so I take them the meat for the meal and egg whites out before I leave and they are just right when I come home.
A zombie thread that has somehow returned to life...
It's not the egg-checking itself that annoys me, it's the rudeness that comes with it. In my store, they simultaneously block access to both the eggs and the milk while they're plying their trade. I wouldn't care if they filled their basket with egg cartons while they sorted through them, as long as they moved out of the way. But by failing to do so, these yolkels put me in a fowl mood.
My chickens cost me a small fortune in per-egg production. But regardless of price differences, a farm egg is worth every bit of the difference. Mine are large, dark brown, with "orange" yokes, and actually taste like a egg.
Sorta like having to get used to "store bought" milk & butter after growing up on "farm" milk, eggs & butter.
Milk tasted like water for a while. Nowadays the wife buys 2% milk and the red top milk tastes like cream. All in what the palette is used to.
Oh, by the way, we had 18 count eggs last week for $.97 a carton. There's now a180 eggs in the fridge. LOL! (yep, we'll eat 'em)
