No native English speaker would say "do these get any bigger" rather than "...come any bigger"
So I'm assuming the shopper was a non-native speaker and the shelf stacker was JUST HORRIBLY RACIST OH MY GOD IM SO ANGRY I'M GOING TO WRITE A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO SOMEONE
I take it you haven’t had the opportunity to meet anyone that grew up on the southern USA.
“Get” would be absolutely be colloquial for what you said.
Yeah, I'm honestly shocked he's never met a person who doesn't speak perfect English who was native. I was the electronics guy at walmart and the most common question id get about speakers, and the most common wording was 'do it get loud?'
People talk how they want, simple as that lol.
Well? Do it?
People don’t think it be like it is, but it do.
it do
Yes, every native English speaking Walmart shopper are perfectly fluent, masters of the linguistic arts. They are known throughout the Americas to be amongst the classiest and highest esteemed group of shoppers known to man. Even the ones known to procreate with their sisters are likely to have a degree. Likely, a masters. These are stats and known facts of the highly esteemed shoppers of Walmart
Really underrated comment.
As someone whose had the priviledge working both in a call centre & retail for several years... you're wrong.
Most is local colloquialisms, where regions sometimes substitute words or phrases for others.
And then there's the "native English speakers" that are straight up idiots, and butchering the language constantly...
The amount of South Londoners that say "arced" instead of "asked" is too damn high.
Tell me you've never met an American without telling me.
Weird as shit take.
Then the punchline would have been “no they don’t cum at all, THEY’RE DEAD, you sick pervert.”
Great... Now I'm coming. Thanks a lot!
Can I interest you in a turkey in these trying cums?
I'm a native speaker and not an American, but I didnt find this weird. I would probably say "do you have any bigger ones" not ask about the turkey cum.
Considering your last sentence, you might be American, check your ancestry.
I only have two memorable questions from customers while I was working at Walmart.
First had a teenager come up and ask if we had sour cream that wasn't frozen. I ask if she meant refrigerated and she insisted the only sour cream she found was in the freezer. So I go over to the REFRIGERATOR it's supposed to be in and there it is. I say this isn't frozen. She gets huffy and says "well, I mean not cold. Do you have sour cream that isn't kept cold?" No... Nobody does! It's dairy!
Second was a dude asking me for the "crunchy ice cream" he got last time that he really liked. "What was in it to make it crunchy?" I ask. "Oh nothing, it was just plain vanilla." 🤨 Thought maybe he wanted dipping dots, but that wasn't it. All I could assume after that was he got some freezer burned garbage, giving it that icy crunch.
Dairy can be kept warm. Pretty common for shelf stable milk. Not sour cream though.
For a limited amount of time and according to the thermic treatement. Pasteurised milk and dairy should be refrigereated. Similarly, cheese must be set at ~4-8°C temperature range. Also in the EU cheese can be made with regular milk as long as it is processed accordinfly, with many exceptions (there's abound to be thousands of cheeses in the EU). Sterilised milk (121°C treatement) is labeled as UHT (ultra high temperature) can instead be conserved just fine, and can be used to make cheese if you add a starter microbe to the mix. Milk is frail, whenever it spoils, it smells like no other thing on earth. And it stinks the fridge worse than mercaptanes in a chemistry lab. You ever smelled mercaptanes? It's an experience
Shelf stable milk can be kept at room temp (~20-25C) long term until opened. The supermarkets have shelves of it unrefrigerated.
You mean UHT milk?
Sour cream can also be UHT, we have a lot of unrefrigerated sour cream in our stores
I mean sure, butter can sit at room temp and such; but the store isn't legally allowed to do that. If those products are kept out of refrigeration for 30 minutes or more, they have to be thrown out. The only shelf stable dairy products you'll find in this state not kept cold is powdered milk and freeze dried cheese. Or custards and shit like pudding, if those even count as dairy (eggs are considered dairy here).
Sour cream I would think could be kept room temp. Isn't that how it's made in the first place? Just leaving cream out to go bad?
They're legally allowed to keep shelf stable milk unrefrigerated, and it's totally normal here. Same for eggs. We don't bleach our eggs though like some places.
Leave it on the heater over night for extra sour cream, for that full body cleanse.
And here I wish they cut them in half. A half turkey is a much better size for 4 or fewer people.
Just buy a chicken. Tastes better anyway.
Turkey can feed more people, cheaper, and I make so many chickens I could use a change
You just said a whole turkey is too much
And why I want a half turkey. C'mon this isn't hard.
You specifically said you like turkey because it feeds more people, yet a whole turkey is apparently too big and you want half of one. Make up your mind man.
Wow, still going? If you really need it:
HALF Turkey can feed more people, cheaper, and I make so many chickens I could use a change.
Seriously this isn't hard.
A half turkey isn't going to feed more people than a reasonably large chicken. They aren't that big lmao. Cheaper maybe, but turkey isn't as nice as chicken to begin with. I get wanting a change though. Also if you raise chickens then surely that's the cheapest option?
Honestly though if you want half a turkey just save the other half for later. Make a curry or something, idk.
Yeah something told me that you coming back a week later means you won't be able to let it go when you finally realized you can't follow the conversation. Ciao.
I found that the meat to fat/bone ratio on Turkey was worse than Chicken. Always have so much waste when preparing Turkey the money just didn't make it worth it.
And then everybody clapped
If you make up a story, why not at least make it funny?
They sell food thickener at Walmart. I know because I saw it there yesterday.
So they won't get bigger, but they can get thicker.
Mmm, thick water
