Subj : Eggs! To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Sat Aug 15 2020 19:44:00 Hi Nancy! NB>>> Our store still has the bags of 6 (cooked, peeled) both in organic NB>>> and regular... those are in dairy, next to the uncooked eggs... but NB>>> this finally answered the question of where that odd 2-pk at the NB>>> checkout had come from (at least potentially).... ;) BM>> Yes: doubt the store is just going to buy a case of cooked eggs just BM>> for the check out. NB>> The 2-pk eggs are at the front of the store with other quick-grab NB>> dairy, so sorta just for the checkout... I haven't seen the 2-egg NB>> packages anywhere else in the store... :) BM> Maybe not enough received for two places, or they figured the two pack BM> would sell as a grab-and-go item by the checkouts but someone doing BM> their weekly shopping would buy a 6-pack and probably not a 2-pack. NB> Most likely the latter... :) Yesterday while trudging through the store waiting for the ice I should have checked the Deli Department for those eggs -- had plenty of time, just had my mind more on if something caught my eye for something to eat that didn't require refrigeration, extensive preparation (cooking in a skillet by LED light isn't easy!). Have soup, etc. BTW, some of those those solar yard ornamanets provide a lot of light! Even better was the flag light which we had on the statue (shone down from the upper deck). BM>> Which is 'to the left' of some meats which initially seems to BM>> not make sense but transitions from (starting partway down to the BM>> right) kielbasa, lunch meats, breakfast sausage, bacon, EGGS! So lunch BM>> to breakfast! They're clever!! (Milk and orange juice is on the back BM>> wall two aisles away.) NB>> Each store has their own way of being clever in their setups... ;) NB>> Yours does sound particularly clever... BM> Things are slowly starting to make sense with the remodel! BM> Still a lot of holes in the shelves -- either not available due to BM> something with COVID-19 or for some reason temporarily turned off BM> received the stock -- the COVID-19 tends to make more sense as the BM> store and manufacturer still wants to sell. NB> Covid does tend to keep making disruptions in supply, whether at NB> the manufacture end or the distribution afterwards.... Yes - know individual meat processing plants were closed for a few weeks due to COVID-19 instances. Backs up the supply so farmers can't sell, stops the production so none goes out, probably recall on the production created just before the report. NB>>>> Just as easy to glance and toss into recycle, though... ;) But nicely NB>>>> done might be enough of an eye-catcher to at least read once... BM>>> Or glance at the back: ooo - blank! Slice with letter opener and BM>>> becomes scratch paper! NB>>> That works, too... ;) BM>> Saves money from buying scratch pads, though have purchased because BM>> 'fit the job'. Maybe need/prefer all the same size. clean edges, etc. NB>> Some jobs, any piece of scrap will work... other jobs, some NB>> uniformity is more helpful, especially if the scraps need to be kept NB>> for a while... ;) BM> Right on both. Some notes are temporary and are basicly jotting of a BM> few words. Others are still temporary but a little more long term. BM> So far none are getting yellowed. NB> That's a good sign... :) Think I told you some time back in High School my Economics classroom was 'created' in the basement and furnished with some rather old desks and tables. Instructor found some rather old paper in a drawer that was so brittle it cracked when folded! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® .... What happened to the guy who didn't pay the exorcist?
