Shopper: I Was Banned From Safeway Because I Asked For Large Chicken Breasts

A man in Colorado claims he was given the boot -- and a trespassing notice that bans him from the property for one year -- from his local Safeway. But it wasn't over shoplifting or anything like that; he says it was all because of a misunderstanding about his poultry order.

According to the 61-year-old shopper, he recently stopped into the Safeway to purchase some chicken breasts from the deli counter. And when the woman behind the counter asked which ones he preferred, he says he pointed out his selection and said, "I like the large ones."

It's unclear whether or not he had intended on the double entendre, but the man claims the female employee "chuckled" at his statement.

But thinks weren't quite as funny for him the next week. When he approached the deli counter, he saw the woman who had previously served him walk away from the counter, leaving a different female employee to take his order.

He says that this second woman was so rude to him that he felt compelled to complain to the store manager. And that's when he got the earful, he says:

She said, 'The last time you were here, you giggled about this woman's large breasts.' And I said, 'Oh, baloney.' And then she opened up her flip phone and called the police, and I listened to her make up this whole story about me cussing and threatening her.

As he exited the store, the man was stopped by a police officer who issued him a trespassing notice, effectively forbidding him from entering the Safeway for one year.

In college I once wanted to go to the movies. So I called up the taxi company to see how much they charged)18 years old and on a strict budget). So, I asked the lady, “how much do you charge” and she told me I was sick and hung up one me.

Sounds like he was unlucky enough to have run into a femanazi liberal looking to be offended by the first man who came in.

The Mosque? Hey, we have the First Amendment!! You can't stop it! In fact, we have an obligation to allow this offensive act in order to show our tolerance and to show how much we value our First Amendment rights!!

Oh, the guy making a wise crack about the chicken? Send him to the re-education camps. That creep is a menace to society. We don't have to put up with his kind.

First ... if the guy remembered the lady and the incident, he probably was actually making a big-breast-related joke. If he were just asking for chicken, he wouldn’t have recalled anything.

Second — people need to lighten up. There isn’t a man in this country that hasn’t made a breast/leg/thigh joke when ordering chicken. There was an old episode of the Cosby Show that made a bunch of them.

[They were having a fried chicken cookout. Elvin, Theo and the Navy guy were in trouble for planning a bachelor pary with strippers. Elvin ordered chicken wings because he got a dirty look from the wife when he started to say “breast”. He later got fed up ... “Why am I eating this sad chicken wing?! I want a breast!! A big one!!!]

Personally ... I’m a breast man.

That was my first thought too - “Well, lucky he wasn’t shopping at Costco”.

This is outrageous.
I’ve occasionally made the same spontaneous unintentional jokes about large breasts everywhere from KFC to the A&P, and nothing every happened to me.
——oh wait, I hear the doorbell ringing.......

The man is always wrong. You have no defense.
The woman should be in jail for harassing. Never happen.
