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

[Think free or die]

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.
