Major Props Lost at Local Grocery..

So the owner of a small independent grocery I shop at really pissed me off tonight.  I walk up to the deli section and I order a half pound of the spicy salami and also ask for a half pound of the chicken breast.  The chicken hadn’t been removed from its original wrapping yet, so the owner decides to offer me turkey breast instead.  He goes “the turkey is the same price as the chicken.”  But I want fucking chicken, not turkey, I’m thinkin.  Man, the fucking gall of this guy.  So I say, “no, I’ll take the chicken.”  Now I do understand that chicken and turkey are similar, but today I decided I was in a chicken mood.  And as a customer, I have a right to get what I ask for.

Now I know times are tough and people are keeping their inventories down, but don’t tell me what I want!  Either you are incredibly lazy or incredibly cheap.  Either way, you are bound to run your business into the ground if you possess an attitude like this cat does.

I may have to take my business elsewhere, which would be a shame.  This place is just a half a block from the crib.
