Hey, I know that. I never get through a whole cabbage. That is the
problem with buying all the separate ingredients you would want for
a salad. Geez, talk about rotting produce, that's what the salad
bar is good for, I can get 'some' of certain ingredients, not a whole
bunch I will wind up throwing out.

But even I can get through more than ONE leaf of cabbage. Especially
as I usually throw out the outer leaves, they're scruffy.

Hey, go for it. (laugh) Wonder what the produce manager will think
of that. Report back.

Nah, I've said over and over that I LIKE my supermarket and drive an
extra mile out of my way to go to that one, skipping the closer two. I
can't risk getting thrown out.

I never thought of that. What an *idiot*! It just never occurred to me
to visit the <bleeping> salad bar to get the few cherry tomatoes I use
for a shishkebab, for instance. Or a few mushrooms for a salad. Or
whatever odds and ends they have to hand for a garnish. I am
definitely going to have to do a mental inventory of the market's
salad bar the next time I'm there.

Any worries about the "sneeze guard" and germs are trumped by my
incredible immune system :-)

(laughing) It only occurred to me when people were asking for just
some celery, whatever. I thought, I need to check out the salad bar.
Not a bad place to pick up some stuff.

To each their own, of course.
