Rant: Extreme Egg Checkers

My only rant these days is with the prescription drug/insurance system in the USA, and the upward cost spiral to keep breathing and stay alive.

Grocery shopping and eggs ain't ever gonna be a blip on the blood pressure radar. :)

Been a while since I shopped there, but the Lidl market in Greenville SC had some good egg prices.

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.

Planning ahead?? :confused::confused::confused: Nope, that doesn't work in the modern "instant gratification" society. In England you would be accused of "stress shaming" behaving in that manner.
 
A zombie thread that has somehow returned to life...

My pet peeve in the grocery store are those folks that take a month's worth of groceries into the express lane. I would like to invent a laser system that counts the items on the belt, and on the 16th item fires a megawatt laser that turns the offendert into a pile of dust.
 
Selfish People

We can only hope that our stores will soon offer, Common Sense/Logic dispensaries, and competent guide persons to explain its use.

It would give one great pleasure, to help each of those Egg Checkers to wear home a carton of eggs smashed over their heads, but that, would certainly get one into serious trouble, and that remedy had best be omitted.
 
I used to hate grocery shopping when I was a worker bee. Now I just wander through every single aisle eyeballing the goods and grabbing anything that looks tasty
I'm gonna die in the red lol

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.

Two and a half years later I see what you did there...:)

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)
