To the food store in the north end:
Look, I know this is an impoverished area, and I know your store doesn’t make as much money as the big fancy ones, but seriously, no matter how poor, NO ONE WILL BUY CARROTS THAT HAVE LIQUIFIED! Why on earth does this stuff still stay on the shelf? It’s disgusting! There are so many questionable food items on your shelves. Now I know I’m not a regular customer, but when I have a few things to pick up, I don’t mind going down the street to your store. It’s close, the service is always excellent, and I can’t possibly get lost like in the big stores. I just like to know that the food I’m buying is actually safe to eat, and I think at least part of that responsibility falls on the store owner. Is that too much to ask?

You should have approached the manager or assistant manager of the store immediately. I’m sure the carrot puke would have been removed.
“Would you like paper or plastic….or a bucket?”
The carrots probably have the Norwalk virus.
You could probably eat the milk with a fork.
Ewwwwwwwwwwww!
Mmmmmmmm….carrot milk……
Well that’s just nast. V8 comes to mind however I’m picturing something more grotesque. Perhaps the milk came from a goat with a birth defect?
i’m picturing the sandwich and glass of milk from minority report
I think I know which store this because I live near it but I dont shop there. Too expensive.
man, that’s saving you time!
Pre-pureed carrots… what a novel idea.
What’s next, pre-pureed squash? Watermelon?
And I don’t think the green specs in the hotdogs is spinach.
perhaps we can get the poster who whined about single occupancy vehicles to chug a gallon of carrot piss juice and see if it is an uplifting (as in toilet seat) experience as he up-chucks
I’ve called health and safety in!
