a) Eggs come in 6 or a dozen. Fridge has little shelf with holes for 8 eggs.
b) I always feel as if a supermarket employee is gonna get really offended, and start telling me I can't open the eggs to check they're not cracked. They won't, because they honestly couldn't give a fuck, they're just trying to get through their shift. But the feeling is there. Egganoia makes me feel as if the security cameras are zooming in, though, making sure I don't pocket an egg. "Hey, we saw video of a woman in a supermarket in Russia shoving a raw chicken up her hoo-hah! It's not impossible you might wanna pocket an egg, fella!"
I've seen them packed in 4s as well. 10 packs are common, and I've seen cartons of 15 as well. Dunno who determines that. I swear we had cartons of 12 too but I haven't seen any in a long while. Am I going crazy?
I keep them in the carton in the fridge anyway and my egg shelf has butter and cheese, so problem solved :p
id be more suspicious of a store that would take offense at you checking
Supermarket employee doesn't care. Supermarket employee also checks the eggs before buying them!
They might do spot checks when taking delivery but I doubt they have the time to check each carton.
Or did you mean at checkout before YOU buy the eggs? If so, that's not why they open each carton. They're checking to see if you hid something in there.
I think they mean when the employee is shopping for themself, they check their own eggs.
Yes. I'm talking about when the employee is buying their own groceries they check the eggs!
Oh, I see. Yes, probably. As any sensible person would.
If they get offended you can't check the eggs, they're trying to sell pre-cracked eggs. Do you want pre-cracked eggs, buddy?
