Grocery Shopping: The Saga Continues

In the continuing drama that centres around my Woolworths, things have taken another turn for the worse in the form of dodgy salmon and squiffy sour cream.  Squiffy!  Mystical Roo was on a mission for salmon and so headed to the deli counter where the gent who served him threw in a second piece for free.  How delightful!  It was the last one there and there was no point in packing it away for the night so give it away for free.  What a nice thing.  Or not so nice.  When you cook it up for dinner and realise it's off!  Who gives away bad fish.  It's just not cool.  Ok, so maybe the dude didn't realise the fish was squiff but still.  I'm getting a little bit frustrated with all of the dodgy food we buy from the supposed "fresh food" people.  Mystical Roo served up some sour cream with our fajitas and I took one taste before making a face after realising the cream had gone off.  I checked the sell by date and realised it was 5 days past and commented to Mystical Roo how we'd obviously forgotten how long we'd had it.  Oh no.  Mystical Roo purchased said sour cream earlier that day.  How can they sell sour cream that's 5 days past it's sell by date!  Previous to that I'd bought a bag of onions and 4 of them were rotten.  Bah!  I'm feeling a letter coming on.  We were shopping the other night and the chicken we'd selected started leaking juice all over the floor.  We asked for a bag and the checkout girl obliged before glancing down and asking whether the floor was wet.  We confirmed it was.  She rang the bell and advised she'd have to get that cleaned up otherwise someone would sue them.  Not, someone might fall and hurt themselves or, gross there's chicken juice on the floor, just, someone might sue us.  I despair!  This supermarket really needs to sort it out.  We'd go elsewhere but there's only the one in our town.  What they need is that trolley dude running the show.  Now there's a man who would get the job done.

  1. Good to hear that YOUR Woolies is living up to its reputation.

    My daughter's local W (up in Queensland) is excellent. I find that rather worrying!
