wbc. I asked the butcher at Kroger if they had free-range

[wambam]

Kroger is the main grocery store where I live. They suck really hard at meat. So I buy all my produce at Kroger and drive 25 minutes out of my way to buy my meat elsewhere.

You didn't. Lmao.

I love that he said that! Ha.

[thatgirl2478]

kroger sucks because their 'meat department' doesn't actually do any butchering ... so you're stuck with whatever they have in their little Styrofoam packages .

Our kroger always has the cutest men working in the meat department.







(sounds dirty)

[calledout]

Kroger tried to open a store in my neighborhood across the street from a loved semi-fancy independent grocer. Protests ensued and Kroger went away:)

As a lobster lover and fellow animal lover, I disagree, lol. You are putting them out of their "living with a million strangers in a small tank" misery.

Yes, yes, I know, by buying them I encourage it. But they are so delicious. And really,they are sea bugs anyway.

[sergey]

Ha, that's great retaliation. The Whole Foods here is a bitch to get to through traffic and I always feel like a douche shopping there but I just couldn't handle the shitty Safeway anymore. I can't wait for Denver to get a TJ's.

I live in the land of lobster here. Trust that I'm being sarcastic with the above. I don't have one second of remorse for cooking and eating them. I appreciate them. I always make it a point to shake its claw in greeting and say thank you.

LOL I should have tagged, I was talking to scotty. 

I put mine in the empty sink first and they get angry.  Then the girls want to play with them.  Then I yell "Ok, say bye to the lobsters, COOKING TIME!".  Strangely my kids are not scarred.

I used to do mystery shopping for Meijer and their meat department employees were always very well trained about their meat. I love Meijer, but they closed the one down out here.

Lol at Kroger's "Butcher"

[cheeseandcrackers]

lobsters are delicious but i would never buy a live one and boil it.. i would feel too bad, ha.

[wambam]

Funny story about lobsters. This past Christmas, my coworker proposed to his girlfriend. He bought a live lobster and boiled it to kill it/cook it. His girlfriend got home and cried about the death of the lobsters. So he pulled out the ring and said "Here. This will cheer you up."

And this is exactly why I don't understand how anyone can eat them.  **shudder**

lol

[TrickyBob]

Poor lobsters I find them cute in a really ugly way and it makes me sad that people toss a living creature into a pot of boiling water. If it's not humane to do that to other eating animals, why do it to cute ugly sea creatures?

Go ahead...roll your eyes at me.

I saw a sign a grocery store once advertizing that they had 'corn-fed beef' *-)

LOL.

I'm so jealous of New Zealand and their grass-fed beef being standard.

I went to a bar in Palmer once and there was a guy there who had a live lobster with him. I'm surprised he didn't have it on a leash. lol
