I forgot to bring my (new) cart to the grocery store

[conuly]

I also had to spend an inordinate amount of time sorting out my eggs. I don't mind switching one or two eggs around in order to get a complete dozen but I draw the line at moving 6+ broken eggs per carton. And not just cracked! Most cartons had eggs so smashed that there were large pools of egg in the carton itself, making it largely useless even if the broken eggs were swapped out for whole ones. It's like a particularly disgruntled employee took spiteful joy in slamming them onto the shelf. (I say it's like that, but I can't think of many other explanations for the streak.)

It could've also just been some dumb kids/teens who did it for laughs. =/

my brother say this boy (who was maybe 8) doing that at the grocery store once. he sad to me: maybe that's why so many eggs are broken?

I went shopping with the boys I watch, and as they saw me moving eggs from one carton to the other they professed shock - "Are you sure you're allowed to do that!?" Well, they can't sell cartons with broken eggs, so yes, I am sure.

One time at Winco, I couldn't find any packages of *hard-boiled* eggs that didn't have several smashed ones.

That takes some "skill"

Wow.

[divinemusings]

Yeah, that seems sketchy to me too. Did you say anything to anyone?

[conuly]

The cashier, but after that effort I didn't have time to make a real complaint.

this one time I was in the local discount grocery store and someone had switched out a whole dozen carton full of jumbo eggs for the medium ones. That takes some doing.

Sneaky!
