when I only want the tip
>>22052088The root end of the stem provides moisture to keep your precious tips from drying out.Got any more brain busters?
>>22052094That answers why they sell it with the end on but not why they sell it by the pound. Why not by the spear?By the bundle?Or by a seemingly arbitrary amount that we can also complain about?
>>22052135if it was per spear you'd pay more. if it's 5.99/lb and you only take one spear you're only paying like 40 cents and you know theyd charge more than 40 cents per spear if they charged per spear you knowmost people dont know that you dont have to take the entire bag/bundle when something is sold by weight. you can just pick what you want and leave the rest behind.
>>22052088Just rip them in half before you pay, I do every time I buy asparagus. What are the wagies gonna do about it?
>>22052149Make sure you don't do it again. You can't just do that in their face. You hide it and sneak off.
>>22052149Bro you couldn’t snap a toothpick, why do you think we’d believe that you could snap an ENTIRE ASPARAGUS BUNDLE
>>22052155>>22052157Seething wagies.
>>22052149i do this with broccoli because I'm not paying for the inedible core.i used to be a produce wagie so i can do whatever i want to any produce in the world.
>>22052174You should become a gynecologist
>>22052149If the economy gets bad enough, more and more people are going to do this.
>>22052088I bought a watermelon and like 1/5th was this crunchy white crap and black hard things.
>>22052257lrn2 select melons
>>22052088Just peel it and it's edible. You can do the same with broccoli stems.
>>22052135Because weight is a uniform measure of quantity. Some spears will be shorter or longer, some bundles will contain more or fewer.>>22052088If you only bought tips the price per weight would be adjusted so that you pay the same. They're not selling you inedible parts, the weight of the inedible parts drives the entire cost downHave you finished elementary school? These answers should be obvious to anyone with even a vague understanding of weight/volume
>>22052371>>22052141Y’all couldn’t tell by my last sentence that i was being sarcastic?
If they took off the tough bits the parts you actually want to eat would get tougher quicker.
>>22052135>Why not… By the bundle?There are multiple Theys here and while most Theys sell by weight or mass, I've seen some Theys sell by the bundle.>>22052141>5.99/lbWhat fair trade, organic, locally sourced, harvested by the Shaolin Monks of Boise superfood asparagus are you buying there, Rockefeller? That shit is literally a third that price more after being $1.49/lb for an eternity.>>22052088Buy it frozen, then.
>>22052529>more= now
>>22052088The real gyp is Swiss cheese. It's like 30% holes.
>>22052463perhaps you were being sarcastic, but i am being serious.
>>22052088Just fucking snap off the unusable parts before you go to the check out
>>22052149And then everyone claps
>>22052274Its an anatomy
>>22052149They'll probably just ban you from the store for fucking with merchandise before you pay if they keep noticing you or do it in front of some tryhard manager.
>>22052533You're paying for it by weight if you're getting cheese that's worth it so that shouldn't be an issue
>have to cut half of it off>makes ur piss reek>used to cost half what it does nowasparagus is low tier
>>220533112/3 of those complaints only matter if you're poor, and I'm not in the business of smelling my pee for very long before flushing it so what's the issue?
>>22053311Reek of wonder, god I love asparagus urine smell. Not gonna drink it, no, not ever, I promise. Got in trouble at work for buying the case of asparagus before letting customers buy any
>>22052088there's no need to throw half of the asparagus away. trimming one or two inches is usually more than enough, and you can always use the scraps for a vegetable broth.
>>22053313>I'm not in the business of smelling my pee for very longthink about your partner though
>>22052088You can eat those parts several different ways.
>>22053331we don't do the "pee" thing, bud
>>22052088asparagus rubber bands make good cock rings
>>22053346You have a catheter inserted because of prostate problems? I'm sorry to hear that, but it's not really a /ck/ topic.
>>22052088My grocer now has signs saying "don't separate stalks from tomato" because of brown people.
>>22053308air has weight dumbass
>>22052088>t. woman
>>22053814Not on a scale it doesn't you big stinky retard, because the weight is so negligible that it wouldn't increase the reading on any scale a cheesemonger uses. Think before posting for once in your life.
Without that bit it would have a very short shelf life
>>22052221mml
>>22053303Then I'll just rip the manager in half
>>22052149should i peel oranges before purchase?
>>22053682>want 2 tomatoes>there are only tomatoes in clusters of 5-6>separate two tomatoes>some autist not affiliated with the store stims up to me>ERRM DAT IS NOT EFFICAL TO SEPARDATE DA TERMATOERS!! WE LIVE IN A SOCIETYYYY!!!>explain to him very calmly that i only want 2 tomatoes, and by separating these 2, i leave a 3-cluster for someone else who only wants 3>remind him that the produce associates are highly trained and will rotate the tomatoes so that loose one and older ones are up front and on top, making them easy to select>remind him that shrink does not affect the price of produce for the customer and never has>show him how to select a bottle of iodine supplements to help soothe his fits of childish behavior and stimming>he thanks me for the assistance and now has enough confidence to get a girlfriendthis actually happened to me.
>>22054125Quit lying, anon, we all know you were the autist and that's how you met your boyfriend.
>>22054125>the produce associates are highly trainedhere's where the story became unbelievable
