I say, “Yeah, ‘a Hamilton’. You know, the guy that shot Raymond Burr!”

Oh, yeah! Hamilton Burger! I never saw that episode, but it always seemed like Burger wanted to shoot him.

This is the same lady that will ask one of the stock boys to cut the tops of them leeks off since they’re sold by weight. Or will buy 6 portobella mushrooms and then you’ll walk over to the display and find all the stems in the box.

I once found the woody stems of a bunch of asparagus in the cereal aisle, where some jackass broke them all off so she wouldn’t have to pay for them. I still haven’t gotten over the crassness.

I’m not surprised. Wasn’t it two bells in the second dog-watch? :dubious:

Keep in mind, your IQ’s percentile number also indicates the percentage of the public whose numbers are lower than yours.
YMMV.

50% of the public have an IQ over 100, but 100% of the public have an IQ lower than 100? Wow, you were right, I think my mileage does vary from yours!
When corn is season around here, the stores have to put up signs, and guards, nearly, to keep certain kinds of people from shucking corn in the store.
You know, the kind who would shuck corn in a produce aisle.

Some of the stores 'round here have large waste buckets next to the corn for this.

I remember seeing an episode of one of Jamie Oliver’s cooking shows where he suggested people do this…

The markets in these parts also have bins for people to throw the corn husks. What I don’t understand is why people want to husk the corn in the store. The stuff is not sold by weight, but by count.
I once asked butcher for a leg of lamb. He asked if I wanted the right or left leg. I asked
if there was a difference to which he replied that it depends if they lived on a hill. Im still wondering.

I’ve never shucked corn in the store (and I had never seen people doing it where I live), but I would always peel back a few leaves to make sure it wasn’t infested with a worm or something.
I was at a grocery store out of state last week and I saw the large garbage cans set up for people to shuck their corn. I figured, “Why not? Keeps the mess out of the house, and I can check to make sure I’m getting decent ears of corn.” I wouldn’t do it if I was buying a several dozen, but at that time I was just getting a couple ears.

He doesn’t do so much of that kind of thing, now that he works at Sainsbury’s.
I work in a mega-mart bakery.
Around the holidays, when the seasonal bake goods make appearance as deemed by the Great and Powerful Oz, I had a customer ask me:
Do you have any Stalin?
It took a moment to process and reply without busting out laughing, " The stollen hasn’t arrived yet for the season."
Stalin, however, is in Moscow.

Does too!
My IQ is 130, and I’m smarter than 130% of the population!
Oh, I see what you mean.
