Although it might be easier to put it down your pants.Oh, like one between the rows. Slick.Slim Jim?What would you steal inside an egg carton?
Trader Joes... Yeah- dreamy.I can’t remember the last time a clerk bagged my groceries. Sounds like a dream.Voted the bagging part. It's obviously to make sure the eggs are not broken, but not for your sake. It's to make sure she isn't going to get egg yolk on her hands bagging them. And the closing properly too, I'm sure.
Several potential hazards in bagging up another man's eggs, so it makes sense to be safe.
I've never had a clerk check my eggs or ask me if I checked my eggs.
This is a new one for me.
I usually do self checkout at this particular store but I was feeling lazy yesterday and went in the regular checkout line. Maybe that is why I just noticed them doing this? If they are checking to make sure the eggs are not broken, are they checking any other products to make sure they are intact?In the world of self checkout I'm surprised there's even a cashier there to check the eggs.
Never had one do it to me though, but I always check them myself before putting them in the shopping cart.
Always some sort of cage free version. I have had chickens, they are gross animals. Only get grosser when you shove 1000 of them in small cagesWhile we're talking eggs...what kind of eggs do you buy? The cheapest? Brown ones? Cage-free?
Two people voted "Other". If that was you please tell us what the other is.
You're probably right. When she opened it I'm thinking does she think I didn't check them already? It was an 18-pack to boot. I looked at 4 different cartons before I selected that one.Didn't read the other answers in the thread but it's 100% because the cashier thought you were too stupid to have checked your eggs yourself. Especially if you were there without your wife/gf.
From a local farm by me. I'd see if you have that kind of option, they taste so much better and you're supporting a local farmer. And if you want to up your egg game, find some duck eggsWhile we're talking eggs...what kind of eggs do you buy? The cheapest? Brown ones? Cage-free? I have been watching a lot of youtube nutritional videos and virtually everyone there swears by "pasture-raised organic" eggs saying those are the best for you by a mile. Something about high Omega 3's and low Omega 6's. The feed is healthy and the hen isn't stressed because she has room to roam, thus lower levels of cortisol. And she's out in the sun all day giving her eggs higher levels of Vitamin D. Those eggs are the most expensive (of course) but I've been getting those exclusively for a while now. They taste better too imo. They were out of them a few months back so I just got regular cheapo eggs and boy could I taste the difference. Like night and day.
Always knew you were a few eggs short of a dozen.I actually crack a couple eggs to get a discount when checking out
I would love to find a farm for my eggs. There is a farmer's market nearby, maybe I should give them a look.From a local farm by me.

Edited my post but if you're community allows chickens you may be able to find them really close. Otherwise, a farmer's market should have options, that's how we found ours.I would love to find a farm for my eggs.

Or you can look on the bottom of the carton. If an egg cracked there is discoloration/egg juice/etc there. I typically look on the bottom of the carton then open it up to check for cracks. Haven't had an issue yet.............and I cannot recall a cashier ever opening the carton to check.Check every single time. I rotate each egg maybe a quarter turn to make sure they're not subtly cracked, seeping egg white, and thus sticking to the carton.People who buy eggs regularly, do you open the carton yourself before putting them in your cart/basket to check to see if they are broken or to check the quality of the eggs? Or do you just grab a carton without checking?I check every time.People who buy eggs regularly, do you open the carton yourself before putting them in your cart/basket to check to see if they are broken or to check the quality of the eggs?

I give each egg a little wiggle.
If it's cracked on the top half, I can see it. If it's cracked below, it'll be "stuck" to the bottom and doesn't wiggle. Takes 5 seconds to check a dozen.
I never thought to rotate or wiggle the egg for a more thorough check. I will do this going forward. Thanks.![]()
Great pullHopefully next time she closes the egg carton and says, "Good to go, Boot!"
What in the, I say what in the name of Jesse James is going on there?For some reason I find this very disturbing.

Every time at Nike or Asics or any other shoe retailer.When you buy a pair of shoes does the cashier check the size tag of each of them?
I’m pretty sure cage free just means they shove 1000 chickens in an 8x8 shedAlways some sort of cage free version. I have had chickens, they are gross animals. Only get grosser when you shove 1000 of them in small cagesWhile we're talking eggs...what kind of eggs do you buy? The cheapest? Brown ones? Cage-free?
Never. They don't even open the box so you could probably stick a carton of eggs in there if your shoe store sells them.When you buy a pair of shoes does the cashier check the size tag of each of them?
Exactly this. Cage free means they're not in a "cage" but they're likely all jammed together. If it's not "pasture raised" those birds are touching feathers almost 24/7.I’m pretty sure cage free just means they shove 1000 chickens in an 8x8 shedAlways some sort of cage free version.

This thread is really wild. I don't recall a cashier ever doing this, although I haven't bought eggs with a cashier involved in a very long time.Pretty much every dozen eggs I've ever bought at any grocery store were checked by the cashier. If they don't check, it's weird.
I ain't buying no broken eggs!A good poll question......
Cashier finds one broken egg in the dozen.......you going to get a new dozen or just getting the hell out of there one egg short of a dozen?
For me, it's an easy get the hell out of there.
But I'd think for anybody willing to deal with the headache/wasted time of having a cashier, what's a couple extra minutes.
Easy, you checkout go right over to customer service and they will just exchange itA good poll question......

I didn't mention, but the cashier finding the broken egg would imply the customer didn't check themselves.I ain't buying no broken eggs!A good poll question......

If the cashier finds a broken egg in the carton there is no way I am walking out the door with it. If I pay for 12 I am leaving with 12.I didn't mention, but the cashier finding the broken egg would imply the customer didn't check themselves.I ain't buying no broken eggs!A good poll question......

If I'm in too big of a hurry to check myself, it means I don't care or I'm in a hurry.
After spending 3 hours watching a cashier fumble around with my groceries, I'm getting out of there.
That sounds a little forward. Did she at least buy you dinner first?if you think thats weird i had a cashier open and look at my pickles the other day take that to the bank bromigo
"pickles"......plural? Not sure if i want to knowif you think thats weird i had a cashier open and look at my pickles the other day take that to the bank bromigo

Could someone sue the supermarket if they did (or at least claim they did) get sick from contaminated eggs? I voted "to make sure the eggs weren't broken" but if if they could be held liable its likely that they are checking them so a customer can't say they got sick from cracked/broken eggs.People who buy eggs regularly, do you open the carton yourself before putting them in your cart/basket to check to see if they are broken or to check the quality of the eggs? Or do you just grab a carton without checking?
I do.. then the clerk checks too.
Bacteria can enter eggs through cracks in the shell. Never purchase cracked eggs. However, if eggs crack on the way home from the store, break them into a clean container, cover tightly, keep refrigerated, and use within two days. If eggs crack during hard cooking, they are safe.
I check every time and also say "yep, they're eggs" to my wife every time because I think I'm hilarious.People who buy eggs regularly, do you open the carton yourself before putting them in your cart/basket to check to see if they are broken or to check the quality of the eggs?

Buy them from the farmer down the road. Fresher, cheaper and don’t have to worry about the cashier judging the eggs I pick
Baby birds too crunchy?Buy them from the farmer down the road. Fresher, cheaper and don’t have to worry about the cashier judging the eggs I pick
Fresh eggs take some getting used to.
We tried for awhile but it just didn’t take.
... or swapped the regular eggs for Cadbury Cream Eggs. That would be quite a heist.Maybe people have been putting organic eggs in the regular cartons?
(Voted to check to see if theyre broken)
I think someone should try this. Just to see what the cashier would do (if they checked of course).... or swapped the regular eggs for Cadbury Cream Eggs. That would be quite a heist.Maybe people have been putting organic eggs in the regular cartons?
