[Thanks, MamaDearest. No sympathy for the 480 out of work employees; they all know they are supposed to wash their hands after using the toilet.]

Me again. Ignore me again.

And if California "legalizes" weed, those are going to be hard to find.

I just looked and found some of these empty bags with those numbers in the garbage. Is that a bad sign? Sorry. Gotta get off. Tummy suddenly aching . . . .

When the story first broke, it was just Kroger listed.

Look how the title only lists Walmart, now....

I only go to Wal-Mart two or three times a year. The only products I buy are paper goods, office supplies and some brand name canned foods. It is such a hassle to go there. The parking is terrible and the crowds are worse. I much prefer Target......clean, well-lit, with good service.

We live in Tennessee...and shop at WalMart..

My kids wont buy canned ...they always buy frozen...

I hope they and their children didnt get any of those bags with glass...

[SpaceBar]

I guess it’s just an odd coincidence that the last decade has seen an astronomical rise in incidences of tainted food and the ubiquitous employment of illegals in the food preparation/handling industries. No one will touch it because... that’s racist.

[presently no screen name]

They only mention WalMart in the title but it includes Krogers and Great Value, also.

[Think free or die]

Great Value is the Walmart house brand, so it looks like just Walmart and Kroger - at least for now.

[presently no screen name]

Oh thank you. I guess you can see I don’t shop at Walmart or Kroger. ;)

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

At this rate only Dorito’s will be safe to eat.

They have sharp edges.

Well? How'd it do?

[bmwcyle]

Look for the Union label.

[Brad’s Gramma]

LOL!!! It’s WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off....

Having two teenage boys in the house, and occasional call to shop for groups of Boy Scouts, I'm a regular at Walmart. Fortunately we have a very nice one nearby. The produce is fresh and plentiful, and the prices are very good. Sometimes the selection is limited on a particular item, but I can live with it. With rare exception, I've also found their personnel to be very pleasant to deal with.

Over the years, I've found glass in food a couple of times, and also a thorn covered twig from a blackberry bush. Whenever I have an experience like this, I write to the manufacturer, and send them the offending item (assuming it hasn't been swallowed . . . ). In every instance I've received coupons or refunds and apologies. Stuff happens in a manufacturing setting.

Hmmm, I just checked the time on one of my posts and it seems to be off for me too. It’s fast by about ten minutes.
