I only have two memorable questions from customers while I was working at Walmart.

First had a teenager come up and ask if we had sour cream that wasn't frozen. I ask if she meant refrigerated and she insisted the only sour cream she found was in the freezer. So I go over to the REFRIGERATOR it's supposed to be in and there it is. I say this isn't frozen. She gets huffy and says "well, I mean not cold. Do you have sour cream that isn't kept cold?" No... Nobody does! It's dairy!

Second was a dude asking me for the "crunchy ice cream" he got last time that he really liked. "What was in it to make it crunchy?" I ask. "Oh nothing, it was just plain vanilla." 🤨 Thought maybe he wanted dipping dots, but that wasn't it. All I could assume after that was he got some freezer burned garbage, giving it that icy crunch.

Dairy can be kept warm. Pretty common for shelf stable milk. Not sour cream though.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I mean sure, butter can sit at room temp and such; but the store isn't legally allowed to do that. If those products are kept out of refrigeration for 30 minutes or more, they have to be thrown out. The only shelf stable dairy products you'll find in this state not kept cold is powdered milk and freeze dried cheese. Or custards and shit like pudding, if those even count as dairy (eggs are considered dairy here).

Sour cream I would think could be kept room temp. Isn't that how it's made in the first place? Just leaving cream out to go bad?

[-] Vash63@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

They're legally allowed to keep shelf stable milk unrefrigerated, and it's totally normal here. Same for eggs. We don't bleach our eggs though like some places.

For a limited amount of time and according to the thermic treatement. Pasteurised milk and dairy should be refrigereated. Similarly, cheese must be set at ~4-8°C temperature range. Also in the EU cheese can be made with regular milk as long as it is processed accordinfly, with many exceptions (there's abound to be thousands of cheeses in the EU). Sterilised milk (121°C treatement) is labeled as UHT (ultra high temperature) can instead be conserved just fine, and can be used to make cheese if you add a starter microbe to the mix. Milk is frail, whenever it spoils, it smells like no other thing on earth. And it stinks the fridge worse than mercaptanes in a chemistry lab. You ever smelled mercaptanes? It's an experience

Shelf stable milk can be kept at room temp (~20-25C) long term until opened. The supermarkets have shelves of it unrefrigerated.

Yes, that looks like the same thing

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

Sour cream can also be UHT, we have a lot of unrefrigerated sour cream in our stores

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Leave it on the heater over night for extra sour cream, for that full body cleanse.

And here I wish they cut them in half. A half turkey is a much better size for 4 or fewer people.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago

Just buy a chicken. Tastes better anyway.

[-] Matty_r@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

I found that the meat to fat/bone ratio on Turkey was worse than Chicken. Always have so much waste when preparing Turkey the money just didn't make it worth it.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 0 points 7 months ago

Turkey can feed more people, cheaper, and I make so many chickens I could use a change

[-] pantyhosewimp@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I misread your sentence about “change” and I started to think of how various sizes of poultry could be used as monetary currency. Like:

It’ll cost you 2 turkeys.

You got change for 3 chickens?

Here’s a Cornish hen in change. Good luck with your pack of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

You just said a whole turkey is too much

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

And why I want a half turkey. C'mon this isn't hard.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

You specifically said you like turkey because it feeds more people, yet a whole turkey is apparently too big and you want half of one. Make up your mind man.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Wow, still going? If you really need it:

HALF Turkey can feed more people, cheaper, and I make so many chickens I could use a change.

Seriously this isn't hard.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

A half turkey isn't going to feed more people than a reasonably large chicken. They aren't that big lmao. Cheaper maybe, but turkey isn't as nice as chicken to begin with. I get wanting a change though. Also if you raise chickens then surely that's the cheapest option?

Honestly though if you want half a turkey just save the other half for later. Make a curry or something, idk.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yeah something told me that you coming back a week later means you wouldn't be able to let it go when you finally realized you can't follow the conversation. Ciao.

lol at him downvoting.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 months ago

They do at least sell the whole turkey breast

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

They sell food thickener at Walmart. I know because I saw it there yesterday.

So they won't get bigger, but they can get thicker.

Not a pleasant thing, but possibly a necessary thing for people with certain health issues. In fact, I may have to end up using it. I hope not, but it is a distinct possibility.
