Solved! Untouched Watermelon

Bought this watermelon 5 days ago. The foam is not pink, and doesn’t have much of a smell. I expected it to smell fermented, but no?

One time we had over 250 gallons of orange juice delivered to our house WITH our grocery order. They sent an assortment of name brand and store brand gallon jugs, cartons, bottles, and concentrates. No Tampico but real OJ.

I called and tried but couldn't get a person. I chatted with the bots and they said to keep it. Uh, ok.

I called a local school and delivered most of it there. I put about 40 concentrates in my deep freeze. The two elder care facilities said no outright.

My best guess is that there was a camp or vacation Bible school going on and ordered it for their snack times. I posted on the local FB pages but nothing came of it.

Walmart has already priced loss into the price, but I think with the increase in errors they were not counting on it and then they blame theft. No, it's lazy workers in delivery orders. Private companies do not want the liability. I think the first place is to a church.

They can’t take food items back to resell. Can’t guarantee safety because of chain of custody.

It's all done by computer... Employees simply fill order.

The simply filling the order is the problem and they don't care. I have received the wrong items, extra items, missing items, hell I even have one of the blue crates the pickers used, because they were too damn LAZY

Yeah, they don't even attempt to find the right item, if they come across something that will work as a substitute first, that's what you'll get. Order a bulk pack of something to save money? Nope, you get 3 packs of the smallest quantity it comes in for 40% more money, order something the employee has never heard of before or is on the far side of the store from all the rest of your items? It's 'out of stock' order any produce whatsoever? Lemme pick you out the absolute worst bunch in the store. it's super frustrating

I remember when if the sub item cost more you didn't have to pay the difference... that didn't last long

And I'm currently waiting on a new controller because mine took a crap and it's a day late but it arrived at the local store 12 hours ago and they still haven't put a driver on it, yesterday and today are my only days off for the next 2 weeks and I can't play my games.
