Default Fie on you Walmart!

I am having extreme trouble getting good produce anywhere around here.
Granted, I did not try PCC or Whole Foods. But at the other stores, it is
either slim pickin's or I buy a small amount of things that appear to be
fresh, only to find them spoiled, a day or two later.

Although I mainly needed produce today, I have an extremely picky eater
coming to stay here so I thought I would try the Walmart food store for a
couple of things that I know she eats. They did have one thing. Out of the
other but there is still a SEM so it appears that they do still carry it.

But the produce? So very disappointing. No tomatoes on the vine whatever.
Someone here has been on a BLT kick so I wanted good slicing tomatoes. I
picked through what large tomatoes they did have, bought three and hope they
will stay good until we eat them.

Much of the produce section has been remodeled yet again and it would seem
that now they mainly have prepackaged stuff. Husband came home from his
business trips while we were shopping and I had hoped to get him some fruit.
But most didn't look good at all. I got some small green grapes which may
or may not be good, 5 oranges and a small clam pack of sliced apples. He
will eat whole ones but only certain kinds. I did not see those kinds so
gave up.

So... Not sure I will be back to this store for a while. This is kind of
how they were when I first started shopping there. Then they got better.
Then much better. At least in terms of selection. And now sliding downhill
again. I don't get it.

Can't wait for the PCC to open here. They are already hiring. I've never
gotten bad produce there!

Sliced apples? Really? Why on earth would anyone want such a thing?

You wouldn't be happy unless you had something to complain about. So
what are you complaining about?

I predict that you will. Or possibly eagles will be eating the bread
or a deranged, turbaned foreigner will sweep you out the store again.

Good to see you being positive about food and produce again.

Because they are easily portable. You have no core to dispose of. Here,
food must be recycled so this can create a problem if you're out. Can throw
the bag away but not a core. Have to find a proper disposal place. Also
for me, much more pleasant to eat. I hate biting into apples as the peel
sticks in my teeth. The slices are the perfect size and the peel rarely
ever sticks. And yes, of course I know I could slice my own.

Wasn't eagles but grackles and that was at Costco. The turban broomer was
at Walmart but I don't think he works there any more. Actually we rarely go
to that store.

A 'proper disposal place' for an apple core. You must be shitting me.

That sounds dumber than a rock. How is an apple not portable? DUH
What prevents you from coring the apple prior to going out?!?!? I
toss apple cores out my window, in the same spot where I toss bird
seed, they disappear quickly, often within a minute. I would never
thow apple cores in the trash, I recycle them; some critter comes by
and eats them, critters recycle them into wonderful natural/organic
plant fertilizer. I still can't comprehend how an apple core can
pollute. The people where you live must have the lowest IQs on the
planet... they don't have IQs... that's why you live there. Anyhoo,
WA State grows a lot of apples, there must be a lot of orchard owners
in prison for permitting apples to fall on the ground. Bove, every
critter that lives here is way more intelligent than you... compared
to Bove my apple core eating crows are Albert Einsteins.

Doesn't everyone know the 'food police' are around every corner en-mass
in the universe of bothell just waiting for scofflaws to improperly
dispose all the apple cores in the wrong bins(?)!! Yeesh is right.

The Bothell police must be corrupt to the core.
OK, I admit that joke was as bad as Dave's in another thread.

It can only be placed in a food/yard waste bin, which we have at home.
Restaurants, some food stores and some parks have them as well. Otherwise,
they're not commonly available. You can also put in a compost pile if you
have one.

No. And this not new. I have mentioned it countless times before. This is
one reason why I don't like cutting up fruit such as melons at home. Just
too much bother.

You would be the liar here Dave. I have mentioned the food disposal going
back years ago when I asked here about fruit flies in the kitchen compost
bin. I just quit using that. I now use a small plastic trash can that is
emptied at least once a day. Or in some cases when prepping food, just put
the scraps in a Biobag and take that out to the green bin. I no longer
bother using those in the little trash can. Why? They break down very
quickly so by the time we have trash pickup, they're dissolved. I can use
paper bags as well but I don't often have them.

The Bothell Police do not serve the area where I live. Neither does
whatever trash service, services Bothell. I am considered to be in
Unincorporated Snohomish County in terms of those things. It's still a
Bothell address.

I gather that the rest of the world and even this country does not live like
we do here. We are very green here. Recycling has been mandatory here for a
very long time. The food thing is fairly new to some areas. A recent post on
Facebook was from a woman saying that the maintenance man was checking their
bins. She felt violated. But... They can fine us for doing wrong. So I'm
sure the man was just doing his job.

When we lived in CA, the housing office did routine checks on our bins. A
violation could cause us to lose our housing. I well remember the angry
knock on the door at 7:00 a.m. one morning. The man was yelling at me,
telling me that if the item was not removed from the alley in 30 minutes, we
would lose our military housing. I had no clue what he was talking about.
Turned out that my husband set a broken microwave by the trash can, thinking
they would pick it up. Nope. Things like that can't just be thrown out here
either. They have to go to special disposal stations and often there is a
small fee for disposal.

I'm sorry Julie, but I can't accept your claim that you cannot dispose
of an apple core in a public place other than in some food stores and
some parks. It just doesn't make any sense on so many levels.

The implication being is that no food can be consumed in a public
place unless you also take any food waste home with you or find a
specific bin located in food stores or some parks beggars belief.

mmm... sure. it's amazing how you manage to come up with so much stuff
that ONLY happens in Bothell and nowhere else.

You can say that again.

Much like most other places in the westernised world. So Bothell isn't
all that different, after all.

None of which explains why you can't dispose of an apple core in a
public place, in a public trash can. Come on Julie, even you would
have to admit that your claim is absurd.

That is not a LAW. It's a recycling service offered by Waste Management
in some areas. A list. They do not say you are not allowed to throw
away apple cores.

How about *you* actually read it? Residential recycling *guidelines*
for your county. No mention of anyone having to take an apple with a
core home with them if they buy one and eat it someplace other than at home.

Consider that the produce dep't has to pay wages to these apple slicers and cabbage shredders...no wonder that the cost is higher for these and other prepared products.
Julie, you could save a fortune every year by cutting up your produce. Just think of what you could do with the savings.

She won't admit it. She merely posted links about disposal services in
her area. Nowhere does it say you must buy cored/sliced apples, which
was what she was looking for. When asked why, she came up with a
ridiculous claim about not being allowed to dispose of apple cores like
normal people do - in any convenient trash can.

Why can't you manage to just ignore her if she's that vexing to you?

(snippage)

Don't you understand? She claims there is some law which doesn't allow
her to dispose of apple cores. "Food must be recycled". That translates
to she cannot buy apples and core and slice them herself. She wasn't
going out, she was buying the apples to bring them home. Apparently her
husband can't figure out how to core and slice an apple, either.

She seems to buy a lot of pre-packaged alledgedly fresh produce. I pass
that stuff by immediately.

....

we throw our apple cores in the compost! I bought a 2 gallon American made plastic bucket with lid, for compost inside, and a cheap Chinese JUNK 55 gallon bin out in the back yard for compost, which I manually drilled a bunch of 1/2 inch holes in the 55 gallon bin outside so the bugs can get in!

Can I ask why you bought a Chinese bin, knowing the irreparable damage
that does to the American economy?

There's no way to reason bove's reasonings! As usual, bove is rather
irrational. AFAIK, "recycling" anywhere in the USA is voluntary, not
obligatory by law. No doubt bove will refute.

No doubt she will be right too:

https://www.epa.gov/transforming-was...and-composting

Some states and communities adopt mandatory recycling and composting
laws and ordinances. Requiring all commercial and/or residential
generators to recycle and/or compost means that local government or
contractors must provide recycling and composting services to all customers.
Communities don't have to couple “exclusive” agreements with mandatory
recycling. Some jurisdictions have structured “semi-exclusive”
agreements where a limited number of permits are available; similar to
how cities distribute taxi cab medallions.
Alternatively, "universal roll-out" can be provided, meaning that
recycling, composting and waste bins and services are provided to all
customers, rather having separate recycling and compost collection
service subscription from trash collection. Local governments can also
require service providers to offer recycling and composting services to
all garbage customers as a condition of providing services.
Case studies:
San Francisco, CA
Austin, TX

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycl..._United_States

Since there is no national law that mandates recycling, state and local
governments often introduce recycling requirements. A number of U.S.
states, including California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Vermont have
passed laws that establish deposits or refund values on beverage
containers while other jurisdictions rely on recycling goals or landfill
bans of recyclable materials.

Mandatory recycling[edit]
Some cities, such as Seattle, and states like Connecticut,[5] have
created mandatory recycling laws that may fine citizens who throw away
certain recyclable materials. Vermont also employed a landfill ban of
recyclable materials, food and yard waste, and wood.[6] There are also
voluntary programs and educational programs to increase recycling where
it is not mandated by law.

Mandatory recycling is the standard e.g. across all European Union since
the 1990s. Recyclables are prohibited from households, businesses and
apartment garbage. With businesses that would include cardboard, paper
and yard waste which would be prohibited from their garbage. For
apartments and houses, glass, paper, cardboard, aluminum and plastic
would be prohibited. With businesses and apartments, if garbage
collectors find more than 10 percent of the container filled with
recyclables, they will leave a tag. On the third tag they will then
leave a $50 fine. However, with households there can be no fining. If
they do find garbage, they will leave a tag and ask you to sort out your
garbage that they will then collect the next week.[7]

Oh Julie, Julie, Julie I am constantly amazed (I don't know
why) by the stupidity that you spew and act like it is the
gospel. Of course you retarded idiot you can throw away
an apple core. Pleeeeeease don't tell me you are actually
this simple minded and utterly stupid. It boggles the mind
to think you have actually lived this long without being
institutionalized and have also bred.

You post silly stuff like this just for attention.

Stop! Stop! You're muddying the waters with truth, logic
and plain old common sense.

What I find astounding is Julie has not been committed yet
for the safety of her family and community.
