monadog Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I was in Walmart some days ago and at the hot food counter and observed 2 young Mexican boys take a chicken wing each and take off. Then a old gringo looking man walked up and picked up 4 to 5 pieces of chicken breast. Checking each piece to see if it was the right size and weight that he wanted with his bare hands. There were tongs to use 15 inches or less from the chicken for this purpose. And yeah, I am confident that he washed his hands after his last bowel movement. That food counter should not be accessible to the public! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I guess like pretty much everything at that WalMart, the least effort they can expend is the rule of law. I was in there this afternoon... the shelves are half empty. Yeah, it's the holidays, but they know better. And getting someone to help you at that hot counter is an effort every time. But, there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I worked one summer in Canada in a fruit and veggie stand that a friend owned. One day a woman was fussing around over by the pile of corn on the cob for an inordinate amount of time, then left without buying anything. When I went over to tidy up the pile she's made a mess of, I found 4 ears of corn she'd peeled the husk back on , and had taken a bite out of each one. "Walmart" and "food" always seems like an oxymoron to me, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2013 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I think you mean the people not Walmart nor food. It is people who do this and they will do this at any establishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafterbr Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 In one of my restaurants I had a buffet. One time a man came in and got four chicken breasts and took one bite out of each of them. When he went to pay out he became quite irate when I asked him not to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 In the OP, the kids were being kids. That happens everywhere. The man was wrong. That happens everywhere. So why start slamming Walmart when a customer is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Only because I think in this case... and I agree... the hot foods are open on the customer side, because the majority of the time the staff just hand you a pair of tongs. But they also have to dig up the foam plates to put stuff on. If it was closed to the customers, we wouldn't have to worry... about sneezing, either.

Go Solar Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 IMHO and for all the reasons mentioned and more, any hot deli case should be closed on the customer side, and open / accessible only on the staff side. Using clear plastic or glass cases still allows legit clients to see and point to what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
