Then you are admitcally a dumb schmuck.

Do you really think that the meat department where you shop wears
gloves in the back when dividing with sharp knives? DUH

Packaged foods are factory wrapped robotically. If you were to pay
for hand processed you couldn't afford to eat.

What's wrong with yoose fools...

What's wrong with you? We're talking about retail stores that have bins of
flour, sugar, nuts, spices, etc. You go in, take a bag, open the bin,
scoop out what you need with the provided scoop, and put it in your
bag. You label the bag with the SKU number of the contents and they
weigh the bag and charge you according to the SKU number.

It's like a buffet. Anybody can reach into the bin with a bare hand if
they think they won't get caught.

Specifically, this one:

I haven't seen a store in recent times that sells flour by the
scoop... maybe my grandmother has... the only flour I see is sold in
factory sealed bags. However the only flour I've been buying lately
is Wondra, in factory sealed canisters... perhaps 2-3
a year. I no longer need large quantities of flour.

Point is, you commented about packaged food without bothering to check
this store, called "Bulk Barn", isn't a run of the mill supermarket.

I've not seen a Bulk Barn here, when I want to buy in bulk I go to
BJs... they sell most things by the case and in large size
containers... they sell things like shampoo and dish washing liquid
in gallon jugs, at near half price... just need to refill the regular
size containers, but there's a big savings, about half price.

That reminds me of my mother - she wouldn't say rude things in English -
she used Gaelic instead.

Even more than I like to do it in English, I simply adore swearing in
other languages.

Remember the old "I Love Lucy" shows? Whenever Ricky got really mad at
her, he would yell at her in Spanish. She had no clue what he was saying
and would just stand there and nod. heh eheh

I had a summer job in an alloy smelting plant where the noise from the
furnaces was deafening. I worked with an old Hungarian guy with a
limited English and a very heavy accent. On day he was jabbering away to
me and I kept nodding and saying yes, which seemed to keep him happy.
But then he said something and I said "Yes" and he got all upset "What
you mean yes? No. " That was the only part I understood.

Yeah, but you can bet Ricky didn't say "besame el culo" ("kiss my ass")
