Why Did Supermarket Cashier Open and Look at My Eggs? (1 Viewer)

[Leroy Hoard]

I remember last Halloween when real eggs were sky high in price, my local supermarket put out a display of cheap candy eggs. From far away they looked just like real cartoons of 12 eggs. Fooled a few people as they ran up to look at them.

Maybe people have been putting organic eggs in the regular cartons?

(Voted to check to see if theyre broken)

... or swapped the regular eggs for Cadbury Cream Eggs. That would be quite a heist.

I think someone should try this. Just to see what the cashier would do (if they checked of course).

What would you do with the real eggs though?

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.

Baby birds too crunchy?

You are a savage Mrs. Rannous!

What didn’t you like? The big thing I notice are the yolks are much brighter yellow. And might want to wash them…

They taste a little different and are bright orange.

I would have continued but I think it was a bridge too far for the wife’n’kids

I this is how the grocery store figured out it was happening... There was a dozen real eggs mixed in with the Cadbury eggs.
Then they had to do that whole company meeting thing and have a new store policy that all egg cartons be checked for Cadbury eggs. They're not falling for THAT one a second time.

Just checked with my personal shopping valet. She said that no one checks the eggs when she checks out. She did recall a time (I was with her on this little adventure) while checking out, the cashier opened the bag of grapes and ate one. We were both dumbfounded.

I hope the cashier at least weighed them after she ate one and not before.

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 open them every time.

I check my eggs every time but I don’t recall the cashier ever doing it.

Maybe someone was breaking eggs in the store and they had a lot of complaints/returns so they started to check.

I bought eggs today. I opened and checked. Just the visible top, no jostling. Was distracted by the bagger and didn't notice if they were checked by the cashier.

I check every time and also say "yep, they're eggs" to my wife every time because I think I'm hilarious.

Schtick you use in real life.
