This part is true.

Bull!

LOL! RElax folks, Sheldon is having fun with you. We do not dump 'day old
milk'.

We do operate our own bakeries and so rarely buy any sort of premade breads.
Size of ship will determine that.

LOL! Not true either. They deliver exactly what the ship requests, if they
have it. Not more, not less (unless they are out of something). Since the
list is arranged before they leave port, for the epected deliveries, there's
not often much they are short on.

This is also true though I've pretty much been on the sort where they just
helo'd over whole pallets.
