OP beat us both. :(
I hope their appeal to the thieves to at least DONATE the pies doesn't fall on deaf ears.
I used to work in a grocery store and despised it when I found product in the wrong temperature zone - such as a milk jug in the freezer, a hot roasted chicken on the shelf next to the cereal, or a nice steak just sitting on an an endcap display. I was less concerned about the financial impact to the mega Corp, but I sure hated the fact that perfectly good food is now trash because some dipshit couldn't be bothered to put it back where it belongs.
Mkst frustrating I had experienced first hand was when I worked at a small, family owned grocery store. There was a cooled bunker display of grated parmasean cheese that was packaged in-house. One day I found a half-melted Carvel ice cream cake on top of the cheese containers. The frozen Carvel bunker was literally immediately behind the cheese. Someone took an ice cream cake out, turned around, decides they didn't want the cake, and placed it on a slightly-cooler-than-room-temperature display when they were equally close to putting it back where it came from...
I hate throwing away food. Its awful
I saw two packages of frozen food in the toiletry aisle when shopping with my sibling who works there and they just sighed and said it's not the worst they've seen.
Sorry lads, was feeling a wee bit peckish this morning. My bad, but happens to the best of us.
I mean nobody wants to admit they eat 2500 pies, but I did and I'm ashamed of myself. The first pie doesn't count and then you get to the second, and the third. The fourth and fifth I think I burnt with the blow torch and I just kept eating.
Round up the usual suspect: Weebl.
Oh man, thanks for the flashback.
I think I've found footage of their getaway: Pastry
So you're saying the walrus probably has the pies now?
Because it (wait for it, wait for it, ready?) pie-jacked them!
~Worth it!~
I still quote these ever now and then, such a classic.
The clues are in plain sight
Seems like a case for Holly Fairhead, Northern Detective, in The Case of the Unsavoury Savouries. The blockbuster sequel to Trouble at Treacle Mine.
Coming soon: What's Up Me Duck? A thrilling tale of drug smuggling using waterfowl.
Someone call Dan Wells. He'll love this
It's kind of ridiculous, possibly even insulting to suggest the pies could be served to people in need.
If recovered there would be no verification of the temperature they were stored at, whether they were still sealed, whether vermin had been crawling all over them.
I agree the food waste is frustrating but it's not fit for much more than low quality animal feed.
Should this be classified as a crime agains humanity?
Aaaah, that website wouldnt let me leave. Wish I could put the BBC's web Dev team in van, and drive off pier.
