Perish the Thought

yawn, what's on tv tonight yall?

Huh?

My mom returns rotten produce. She's 76 and just lost her husband of 53 years, so times are hard. I sincerely hope no one calls her a hag. Anyone working in "service" should recognize their position for what it is and save their anger for something a little more worthy, such as the (endless) Iraq war, the republican filibuster, unequal rights and genocide. Low life unfeeling asshole; you should be ashamed and embarrassed.

I worked at a very high volume produce department in Portland for 6 years including managerial. So I have dealt with every type of customer you have, the only difference being I did'nt post some weak ass emo crybaby rant about it. In fact, I had nothing but sympathy for our elderly customers . One day YOU will be old genius, and maybe even alone. Nice compassion fail asshole. I hate to give away the ending to this show, but we get older, we wrinkle, we dry up, we die-hate to give that one away dumbass. It is customer service-it is NOT about you, get over it. Ageism is as abhorrent as sexism or racism. Funny how I can probably profile your place of employment and age, because it is'nt difficult.

I hope no one speaks of your grandmother that way [COMMENT EDITED: UNNECESSARILY ABUSIVE LANGUAGE]

WHY is everyone RANDOMLY yelling at each OTHER?!?

Whoever this hag is, I'm sure she reads the Mercury cover-to-cover every week.

Tired of New Seasons? I'm always careful some hipster doesn't slap me upside the head when I have to ask where something is located. It is a little gross what this woman did, but maybe next time, find your inner zen, take a breath and calm the fuck down.

No, customers generally suck no matter what age. You all know it too (except maybe ohhayelno, who probably never got her/his hands dirty ever: "Anyone working in 'service' should recognize their position for what it is..."--yeah, we of the servant class get what you mean). That is just moronic. This lady has probably been doing this sort of thing her whole life. Screw that classist privilege crap, and screw you entitled PsOS.

Actually, Maxims, I started working at 17 on an assembly line in a factory. I worked in customer service, was a cashier, and a server at a restaurant for three years in downtown Seattle before I put myself through college and became a "classist." Disgruntled much?
11
@Ohhayelno - That's hilarious. You're saying the store should accept her rancid old produce, because she has a sob story? Does being 76 and widower mean you can't understand the concept of spoilage? Does it mean it's okay to harangue grocery workers?
12
Yes, disgruntled very much. Thanks for asking. You're a real pulled-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps kind of upstanding citizen, aren't you, ohhayelno? You impress the hell out of me.
13
old people suck.

In Soviet Russia, perishables return you!

Det. Thorn: It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!

Hatcher: I promise, Tiger. I promise. I'll tell the exchange.

Det. Thorn: You tell everybody. Listen to me, Hatcher. You've gotta tell them! Soylent Green is people! We've gotta stop them somehow!
16
Oh no you DID NOT spoil the end of that movie for me!

(kicks chair across room)

PLEASE don't throw any rancid old produce at me, rich bachelor!
18
YEs, poor old woman with nothing better to do than put fruit up her ass. Sob sov. I'm so lonely.

I would assume that if a person returns a perishable item, it's because something is wrong with it, and I would hope that a grocery store wouldn't put it back on the shelf. In fact, if someone returned perishable food that they bought only one hour ago in perfect condition, I would hope they would still not put it back on the shelf. Who knows where they stuck that carrot?
What grocery store do you work at? Let me know so I can not shop there.
Oh, and you're a serious bitch, also.

Old people are just as gross and nasty as young people. I would pay someone to talk to my grandpa that way. Also, being in the service industry doesn't mean being in the doormat industry.
21
Why no rage toward the store's policy that allows the customer to return food for no reason that will then have to be thrown away?
Here's an idea: let's all eat the food we buy. I'm not perfect; I mess up and let about 2 percent of my food go bad. But Americans throw away _40_percent_ of all food. I am not making that statistic up. There is no excuse. Eat what you buy before it starts to go bad. If you forget and something starts to become borderline, cook it well and eat it anyway, cutting off the bad part if necessary. If you eat lower down on the food chain, it's especially safe. Come on, folks. Our economy and our environment would be so much better off without that kind of immense waste.
22
Fuck me running that this is something to get upset about? Ohh I have to touch old food. I really fucking care that the company that pays me a shit wage is going to loose $1.37 in produce revenue.

Is there a moral reason for your outrage? Really of all the things to beat down people for in this world you are going to pick rotted produce brought back by an old woman? You know what please put your head back up your ass so only you have to listen to your shit.
