Firstly..In my 40+ years of egg buying I have yet to get even one broken egg, and secondly-In that time i've only gotten a few bad ears of corn so you gotta weigh your options when shopping..If the chances of getting a broken egg are only 1-3000 or so- You don't even check. And when an ear of corn costs a quarter (?) then you can afford to get a bad one for every 50 or so ears purchased over a summer. I don't know about you, but my time is worth infinately more than a quarter LH.Local_Historian wrote: Well, I wasn't in the store today, but I'm not gonna buy broken eggs - and let's see, what wastes more time - me taking 5 seconds to open the box and peek, or me holding up the whole checkout line so the incompetent bag boy can get lost for 10 minutes trying to find the eggs - which he wil then stand there and take 5 seconds checking like I did?
You can also have my corn that's rotting on the end or has corn worms in it. I'll let you buy that for me -and keep it. After last year about this time when the vast majority of the bin was full of rotting corn, I'm still gonna take the 3 seconds per ear it takes yank back the corner and eyeball the ear.
Oh no, please don't pick out your own donuts or rolls or cookies form the cases either - cause you're wasting VL's time when he's not even in the store!
In fact, you shold just rapidly and randomly grab crap off the shelves, stuff it in your cart and GTFO out the store as quickly as possible - you're wasting VL's time!!

They you are either lucky or a liar - cause I can check 10 boxes of eggs and at least three will have a broken one or two. Nice try with the bullsh** stats though - cool how you can pull those out of your ass. Oh, and you have NOT been buying eggs since you were nine - but nice try there, bucko. I'm betting you didn't even buy eggs for yourself until the wife took you grocery shopping for the first time. A large majority of men don't. So maybe you've been buying eggs 20 years.
I'll take you with me to the store I bought corn from in copious amounts last year - you pick 20 ears your way, I'll pick 20 ears my way. When I have 20 good ears of corn, and you have maybe 5, then you can bitch.
My time in getting good stuff the first go round, rather than throwing stuff out I paid decent money for, is infinitely worth more than the frustration of having bad or broken foodstuffs when I go to use them. Doing it right the first time costs a buttload less time than doing it again and again, which seems to be your preferred method. I spend 3-10 seconds there, rather than the half hour to come back and get more when I find out that something I didn't check was bad to start with.
So who is spending less time - and less money? Me, actually. Proof that my time is clearly more valuable.
But I'm glad you were raised to be a grasshopper - ants love grasshoppers, cause they happily throw their money away, and us ants will happily take the money you want to throw away.
