It’s not what you think, people. Or, maybe it is. <\/p>\n

Thanks go to the six people who submitted this one. It had been way too long since we had a ThreadSpot-worthy Special Moment.<\/p>\n

HalifaxTalk: The Straw (or bench, actually) that broke the camel’s back<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s get the basic stuff out of the way first. Blondie<\/strong> tries to slap a bit of sense into the “WALMART SUX” group by reminding everybody that Food Lion and SmartStyles are Big Evil Chain Stores just like Walmart, but nobody listens (to nobody’s surprise). But enough of rational thinking, the fun really gets going on Page 2!<\/p>\n

Horses_N_Harleys<\/strong> drops this one into the punchbowl…<\/p>\n

…Now if you ever out towards Nathalie and want great meat, Punk’s is an absolute must. Can’t beat his meat….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\ud83d\ude00 Well, not in his store.<\/p>\n

But wait, it’s time for Grocery Store Secrets! Ms. 1093ras<\/strong> heads to the confessional booth and reveals this one…<\/p>\n

…You don’t have to tell everybody, but I have been known to poke a hole in the corner of a pack of fryer thighs, for example, and perform the sniff test. If it smells okay, it goes in the buggy. If not, I ring the bell for an employee and hand the pack to them for disposal…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That gives “Chicken Fingers” a whole new meaning that I didn’t want to think about. \ud83d\ude2f Bonus points awarded for the “Keep this quiet but I’m putting it on the internet” phrasing. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
