Have you Ever Had This Happen to you?

i bought a carton of chicken stock at the store to make a new recipe. I picked up the stock and the carton had been opened. In other words, someone had opened it in the store and put it back on the shelf. I didn't even think to check the seal and it was not that light to notice.

Are people nuts?

No but I've seen people opening cartons in shops, dipping their finger in, tasting then putting it back, or taking a swig from a carton of juice. Let's just say they're not locals who are doing this, it's obviously acceptable in some countries but not in the UK.

@akindheart Always check the seal, it's become a habit for me

@RodneyTrotter1 Oh I can believe that. I saw a woman opening up a bottle of liquid makeup and testing it on the back of her hand to see if it matched and then put the lid back on and put it back on the shelf. Who wants to buy that? Could be contaminated with germs. And I’ve seen a young college-aged girl opening up several bottles of spices and sticking her nose down to them and sniffing each one. Yuck. She wasn’t buying, just sniffing them.

@cherokeepatti They should be made to buy them if caught or be prosecuted for theft.
