Want to hear a crazy story?
Just to warn you, this is true. It happened to me today.
Before I get into it, I planned on making PART 2 of my Gaming post, you can see PART ONE, HERE but am admittedly a bit tired today from staying up late every night and waking up early this morning to go do something (which you will probably hear about tomorrow).
So, this will be a short post as I post daily and like to keep it going. I thought this would be an interesting, albeit crazy story to share.
Here it goes...
It was a typical type of Saturday...
I went to the local 7-eleven down the street in order to get some little snacks. Hubby likes their boiled peanuts, cajun style (which I find gross personally, not those, just all boiled peanuts). Anyways, so I go and get a container for him and we grab some other snacks my daughter ones and such and we head home. He digs in and starts to eat the peanuts and then comes and finds me to tell me he has found a cockroach in the bottom of the container.
I was stunned, speechless really. I had no clue how to respond to that
Of course, his biggest worry since he had eaten most of the container, was the likelihood of getting sick. I looked it up and although those nasty little critters can cause sickness it was not overly likely.
I had told him not to throw it out as I said I was going to go talk to the store manager. When I came into the room he was in he showed me the peanuts. It took me a second after I said gross the first time, to realize it was not a cockroach. It can only be what I describe as half, yes I said that, half of a grasshopper. Not those green grasshoppers though, no, it's those Florida grasshoppers who can be toxic to animals.
Do you see that thing? Like, what the hell?!
I also admittedly blasted 7-eleven on twitter. Yes, I said twitter because let's be real, honestly at this point, the companies are all still on there so that is where I went. Anyways, I took this really gross container with the rest of the peanuts, and half of a grasshopper back to the store.
Just to clear any misconceptions, he did not eat the other half of this grasshopper. He reached in to grab a peanut and grabbed this thing and freaked out.
That means...someone else had the other half of the grasshopper!
Once I got there I walked in and said: "I need to talk to the manager on duty right now". I got told that she had left for the day. So I continued and said, "You may want to get in contact with her", as I opened the container and showed this person what was inside. Both of the workers who were there, both women, were instantly grossed out.
A call was made to the manager who was out of town and would not be back in until Monday. I was told to return there and that they could offer me a refund. I let them know that I did not come back for the money, I came back because this should not be happening.
How is it even possible for this to happen?
She could not answer me on how this is possible. So, I told her I would be in contact and that I was worried if I now had to take my husband to get checked out, which we didn't end up doing. We said if he starts to feel weird we will run down to the hospital as it is the only thing open anyways. I asked for the manager's name and was also give the store owners name. I took a picture for my own records before I handed it over and told them to immediately go and remove the peanuts that were still in their hot containers.
That was my evening. I am still at a loss by how this happened as it is not easy for either a grasshopper to get into the store let alone into the peanuts that they claim they empty every other day and that it is completely sealed otherwise.
Lastly, I am left thinking...
Where the heck is the other half of this thing?
Who out there ended up with the front end of this grasshopper?
Will 7-eleven ever reply back to the tweets?
Who knows, all I know is that it was a very unorthodox night and that my husband will definitely not be having boiled peanuts from there anytime soon. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he didn't have them again, but who knows.
Hope you enjoyed my really crazy post. Thanks for sticking around and reading it.
As usual, Stay Awesome Steemians!
