If the milk turns out to be sour, I ain't the kinda pussy to drink it.


Here's a dilemma. If you buy milk from the grocery store and it tastes, well, off, what's your next move? Do you keep drinking it, thinking it must be you because the expiration date is still days away? Do you have someone else in your house drink it to see if they think it "tastes funny"? Do you just pour it down the sink and buy some more? Do you take it back to the store and have it replaced?

I've just had this happen and I was at a loss as to what to do. I've never taken anything back to the grocery store, EVER. I've had a couple of things that have been either broken, spoiled, missing, or empty upon getting them home, but I've never gone back to the store to complain and get something new. I just throw my money away and chalk it up to a loss, like I'm gambling or something.

Why is that? If I bought something from a clothing store with a hole in it, I'd take it right back and exchange it. Same with a DVD. But why not with groceries? Am I the only person that just sucks it up and takes whatever the grocery lottery deals me? Does anyone else return bad food items to the store when they discover the faux pas?

The milk was bad, so I bought a new gallon on my way home from work today and poured the offending gallon of milk down the drain.

Why? Why didn't I just take it back to the store? Why do I feel there is a stigma attached to returning things to the grocery store?


Comments:
If you drank soy milk like I do, you probably wouldn't have this problem.

And no. You spent the money, it should be good. Just do it quickly.
 
If I drank soy milk I'm be sick to stomach, BLAH! And I'm not pretentious enough to drink soy milk...

Just do what quickly? Take it back to the store or drink the bad milk? I don't think it was sour, it just tasted like the cow had gotten into an onion patch or something. :D
 
I drink soy milk because real milk makes me sick. I have a condition called lactose intolerance, bitch. I've suddenly formed Marlena intolerance as well.

Take it back. The milk that is. And the pretentious comment.
 
Good, then stop commenting on my blog, because its getting a Lori-rash!

Well its too late, I already poured it down the drain. And I'm sticking to my pretentious comment.

Miz Soy Milk.
 
You can stick to it all you want, but that doesn't make it so.

To heal a Lori-rash, most people place my belongings on their couch and call me to come pick them up while they're not there. Seeing as you have none of my belongins, nor does your blog, your healing time should be speedy.
