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.

The pretty girl behind the counter asked me if I’d liked breasts or a thighs, i told her I like shaved beavers. I don’t think I’m allowed in KFC anymore.
-- OR --
Did you get banned from all of them?
You may have tried, but you were stumbling around so much I woke up anyway. Grrrrr.
A sign outside of a local strip joint here recently said:
No Chicken Wings Here But We Have Plenty of Breasts and Thighs
There is a smaller Dick’s near me, and once, while out of time at a different Dick’s, I audibly exclaimed, “What a big Dick’s”. I guess Cabellas avoids that kind of thing.
Personally I am in favor of burquas for women like this who cannot take a simple joke.
If she never wants anyone to stare or make a light joke, cover the hell up.
Otherwise, lighten up!
Seattle has several Dicks (drive ins). The food is excellent. They make their french fries from fresh potatos ! Milkshakes are made from real ice cream !
It was a favorite among my crazier buddies to go in and ask for “a big dick”.
lets be honest...some men think they are SOOOO very clever and cute making off color remarks....probably the same guys who think they look good in speedos....
In Knoxville, our Dick’s is on Peters Road.
Years ago when the Internet was new, a friend of mine wanted to find the nearest Dick’s sporting goods store to him. So he googled “dicks.” He didn’t make that mistake twice.
So you think the police should be called every time there is a joke in bad taste?
Take it to court for false charges.
This isn’t a court of law ... assumptions without independent support are permitted.

honestly, do you want these kind of people talking to your 17 yro old sweet dtr?....
what kind of men do we have in this country anymore?
My father was and my brothers are truely manly men, and I can never imagine any of them saying such stupid and silly remarks....
I believe there is a story about Churchill being asked what piece of chicken he wanted. He replied that he wanted the breast. One elegant lady told him it was rude to say breast, rather he should have asked for white meat. Later, he gave her a corsage and told her to pin it on her ‘white meat’.
Grocery stores can be dangerous. When I first spent time in the south their accents were so heavy (to my ears) I had a hard time understanding what people were saying.
At the grocery store a “heavy set” woman was ringing up my groceries and she looked directly at me and said, “Do you want to boogie?” I could feel my face get very red and remembering what my mother had told me to say when someone asked me an embarrassing question I replied “I couldn’t say.”
The big woman glowered at me and demanded rather loudly, “ Do you wanna boogie?” All kinds of thoughts went through my head but I again replied, “Nothing personal but I really couldn’t say.”
Finally the boy bagging the groceries said, “She wants to know if you want a BUGGY.” I had no idea what a buggy was. It turns out she was asking me if I wanted a shopping cart.
