There were lots of choices that could’ve been made differently the whole pandemic, and still could be made differently.

But we’re stuck with elite panic mode running everything.

Everything is political.

Nextdoor conversation December 2021

The image is a large Nextdoor conversation thread. At the top in red marker it is labeled PA 12/2021. Comment: Is it just me or has anyone else shopped at the and products have been old or smell off? I shop at that store all the time but for the past two weeks from salad to chips it’s been bad. Purchased a salad and when I opened it up it smelled so bad. Today I open up a bag a chips and it smelled like pure chemicals. Had the same issue with prepared foods from the deli area. I never had this issue there before but lately something is wrong.

I had a problem with something from they immediately took care of the issue. 3 reactions, hearts and smilies. Reply: Eh did you have covid? It could be your sense of smell and not the food. 9 reactions. Hearts, smilies, gaping face. Reply: I was wondering that as well Author Reply: No Covid 1 heart. Reply: Sounds like you have COVID or something! Don’t believe all those items are bad… I got my ham and a lot more and all fine!! I say,, get tested!! 3 reactions, hearts. Reply: Yeah I think the same thing it’s not like she got the same item and all of them taste bad it’s various items that are totally differently packed in different sections of the store she definitely needs to go to the doctors Reply: I’ve had this experience at [Redacted] It’s a nice store, but the bread products often take on the smell of cleaning supplies. I wish food stores weren’t allowed to have cleaning supplies at all! 2 Reactions heart and smiley. Reply: Had that experience at several stores, the store may not be aware of it unless people bring it to their attention (it’s a lame excuse but good help is hard to find these days). There are very specific regulatory guidelines that must be followed in food environments, politely informing the store manager should get immediate attention. 4 reactions hearts. Reply: Well nobody knows what a bag of chip taste like because they’re not opened and it depends on what kind of salad she got and if she’s. been sick lately. It’s not the same food it’s a whole bunch of different foods it sounds like it’s her taste buds. 1 reaction heart. Reply: Sounds like your taste buds are off OK did you have Covid and not know it. 1 reaction heart. Author Reply: No I don’t have Covid, and no it’s not my taste buds. Blush smiley emoji. 1 reaction smiley. Reply: Are you aware of the lettuce recall? Google it. Bad food poisoning if you eat certain bagged salads. 5 reactions, hearts. Reply: Ive had a couple issues with fresh produce there before and just recently bought some guacamole, (their store made) and it was brown the day after I bought it. I know avocados don’t last but unopened, it should last longer than a day. I’ve never had any issues outside of produce. 1 reaction smiley. Reply: Never shopped at that [redacted] store. 1 reaction smiley. Reply: If the bags are inflated it’s because there already filling up with gases. Being taken in and out of the refrigerator too many times. (edited) 3 reactions, 2 hearts & a plus 1. Reply: check the dates of meat dept. 3 reactions, hearts. Reply: This post made me think about some groceries I’ve bought in the recent past that have gone bad faster than normal. I don’t recall any weird smelis, though. Also could the packaging issues (meat, etc) be a result of the labor shortage/new and inexperienced employees? We should all be diligent about returning items and more importantly speaking to a manager so they know about it. 2 reactions, smiley & heart. Reply: Produce is terrible anymore. The last year or so especially strawberries and blueberries. 1 reaction heart. Reply: There hasn’t even been any salads in the store for a week now. They were recalled. 2 reactions, heart & gaping face. Reply: the hospitals are full they’ve called in the military and many grocery stores and walmarts across the nation are closing for 2 days at a time because people are getting sick. We should all expect problems with grocery stores, because this time they decided that the restaurants bars & gyms should stay open and it’s fine if the grocery stores close for days at a time. Don’t be surprised if lots of things spoil while the stores have to abruptly close due to illness. [this comment is marked Chloe in red marker] 3 reactions, smiley, gaping face, heart. Reply: that’s very true Reply: I wonder who called for grocery store closings, but not gyms, bars, or restaurants?! I bet this is intentional. Reply: Very True Reply: Supply chain issues. They are bringing out old crap out of storage! 3 reactions, gaping face, heart, & plus 1 Reply: you might be right. You can see this in retail stores for example), they’re pulling out what’s obviously old warehoused goods to try to fill the racks. Excellent point.
