    Come on brother! You are posting about buying turkey meat at Target and then complaining about quality!

    Brother you are a millionaire (you are, aren’t you?) you can splurge and at least buy your meats at the local grocery store. You are unemployed I am sure you can find the time

    To be honest brother it’s surprising you don’t go to a nice Jewish deli that I am sure would have superior quality

    Brother Nicky Pipes does not “complain about quality” does not call customer service and does not write negative reviews
    LOL. Jewish Delis, at least the real ones sit in the five Burroughs of NYC. They do not exist in California. You are entertaining for sure, just not bright. Go back to those Rocky one arm push ups or whatever it is you do.
    This may be your most ignorant post ever which is really impressive. There are great Jewish delis all over, not just in NYC.

    The Carnegie Deli in Vegas (RIP) was the same as in NYC.

    I’ve had good deli in LA, St. Louis, Chicago and elsewhere.

    Stick to being wrong about all your predictions you retarded Craigslist plumber

    Since I don't live in a scummy place like Portland, there aren't meth heads hanging out there trying to swipe purses or mug people. So at least I've got that going for me. Maybe Sloppy Soyboy can finally take the hint and move out of his Antifa-run shithole, especially now that he has a kid who will have to grow up there.

    I might have to eventually quit buying perishables there if they can't get their act together. However, it seems that it's the ground turkey which has the main issue, for whatever reason. I'm not seeing signs of improper storage on the other perishables (which also would swell up or taste bad, indicating a problem).

    The purpose of my post was just to complain about stupid shit going on there, including their bureaucratic idiocy, such as not letting me simply walk in there moments after a curbside pickup and swap out an identical item without standing in a long line.
    LOL, you might stop? Brother that's a one and done for like 99% of the population. Guessing that money isn't the issue, just stop buying their fucking ground turkey and being a cunt about it.

    Even if it was a fluke there's no way I would fuck with perishables at a place like Target.

    All of us would rather eat whatever fish Pockles was hauling in out of the shit infested waters of Ensenada than bloated old turkey out of a truck with scented candles from Target.

    No self-respecting man shops there anyways.

    They have a pretty big selection of stuff. Anything I need I can usually find there. It also doesn't have trashy clientele like Walmart, for the most part.

    However, they have so many bizarre policies and are so bureaucratic, it's often super tilting dealing with them.


    First off, the checkout line is tilting. No checker is empowered to fix small problems. If something mis-scans and your ticket is closed, and you realize it before you leave the line, tough luck. Either you eat the loss, or you are sent to customer service which can be a huge line, so obviously it's not worth getting your $3 back or whatever, if the line is 20+ minutes long. Super frustrating either way.

    Next, for whatever reason, the Target by me has a big problem keeping certain foods at the right temperature. There's ground turkey I buy there, and half the time the package is swelled up like a balloon because the dummies at the place aren't storing it at a safe temperature. If the ground turkey gets too warm, it makes the package swell, and it stays swollen even if refrigerated back to proper temperature. Anyway, I was ordering this for curbside pickup before I was vaccinated, and 75% of the time it would come out swollen and I'd have to send it back and wait 15 minutes for them to come out with a non-swollen package.

    Finally I spoke to the store manager, who looked into it. He sent me an apologetic e-mail, stating that their associates were storing the ground turkey improperly upon receiving delivery from the supplier, and he has permanently corrected the issue. He thanked me for bring it to his attention. About two weeks later, guess what? Swollen turkey again. Fail. I didn't even bother going back to the manager.

    Anyway, now that I'm vaccinated, I only do curbside pickup sometimes. Last time the turkey was swollen, and it took the usual 15 minutes to get it swapped out. This time it happened again, and I said, "Instead of taking 15 minutes waiting for you to swap this out, can I just go in the store and do it myself?" The guy said yes.

    So I went in the store, and I was told by customer service that I had to get the two I wanted, and bring both that and the two I was exchanging back there for "processing". Ummm... okay? These are identical items. But whatever, I did it. I get back and there's a line of people there. I say, "Hey, I'm just going to leave these with you, and I'll take the two I want." He said no, it requires processing.

    I stood and stood, and the woman he was dealing with kept coming up with different questions and different issues. This shit was gonna take forever. I had enough.

    "Hey, I'm leaving these two here on the counter, taking the two I exchanged it for, and I'm leaving," I told him.

    "You can't do that, I need all of them to process it," he answered.

    "My other cold stuff is getting warm in the car throughout all this. I'm not waiting any longer. I'm leaving these with you and walking out. I paid for this already and have a right to take it."

    "Sir, you can't do it, if you could just wait for a few more..."

    "No, I'm not waiting any longer. I'm walking out with the items I already paid for, and simply swapped for those that weren't defective. Goodbye."

    I was seriously about to tell him he could call the cops if he didn't like it. However, some other employee overheard, and told the dude this was fine, since it was the identical item, and not to object to me leaving.

    What a clusterfuck this place is. Keep in mind at the supermarket, I can simply walk in, say, "Hey I'm going to exchange this for another one because this one is bad", and they say back, "Okay, no problem", and I don't even have to go back to the cashier.

    Target = JOKE
    Don’t shop there then

    Brother, no I don't.

    The ground turkey I buy at target isn't from some fail butcher counter there. It's the same ground turkey you'd buy at the supermarket. Other than the temperature storage issue (which is clear from the package being swelled when it happens), it's the identical thing. Since I can exchange the packages when they are swelled (or pick them myself when I'm in the store), I continue to buy it there for convenience.

    Steaks are a different story. I only buy prime steaks. Not only wouldn't Target carry such a thing, but even the local market doesn't. A Ralph's a little further away had prime steaks for awhile, and they were good, but after a few ones which didn't seem to be up to my standards, I quit buying them there as well.

    The amazing thing about this story is that you would trust Target employees to properly handle perishable foodstuffs after they massively fucked up doing so not that long ago. Or are you that conceited to think that just because your consumer advocacy on one of Target’s food quality issues actually resulted in them materially improved their actual practices in that matter??? Did it ever occur to you that the reason someone at Target sent you that email was to reduce the likelihood that you’d make a stink about that matter elsewhere, say public health officials? Or contact a lawyer to sue them over the danger their food handling practices pose to the public?

    There are some, but I doubt anywhere close to where Druff lives. Druff has given enough hints over the years that it is obvious he lives somewhere in the Valley (possibly Ventura county), which is actually very far from the Westside areas that have Jewish delis.

    So, Druff goes to Target and buys Ground Turkey and surprised it's not up to snuff? LMAO.

    First of all, I agree that Target is tilting. I go there to buy items like bottled water (it's $1.21 cheaper than Publix Supermarkets). I buy shaving cream, soap, sun block etc. Anyone who buys meat or produce there gets what they should expect to get -substandard stuff. Go to a meat market or a real Supermarket that will store the stuff properly.

    Also, checking out is a fucking hassle. Several times I have filled my cart and left it at checkout, because the lines were 30 minutes plus to check out. They don't hire enough cashiers. Keeping 2 lines open out of 16 means long wait times and frustrated customers.

    Whenever one of these threads arise, there is always long line talk and it baffles me people still use those?

    Do your chain stores not have self-checkout? I never even think about cashier checkout in those stores. I’d walk out if self-checkout was unavailable.

    I’m always going to be twice as fast as some old lady who can’t lift a case of water or young stoner scanning my shit. I’ll be done with 50 items in 90 seconds and gone.

    When you require multiple iterations of the same meal per day I imagine that some degree of self sufficiency has to emerge.

    After all you can only go to the mall to complain about your cell phone bill so many times and grabbing Dinner 2 and we are in a pandemic brother.

    I get that also, at the same time i'd rather avoid the ultra-talkative lady cashier also. That seems to be ~66% of them.

    Last year during lockdown, the line at Target was longer for self, so went to cashier, halfway thru she is yapping on about her cats (because i was buying cat food) and then starts showing me pictures of her cat on her phone. DONT CARE

    Perhaps you are buying the wrong product in general.

    A good grocery store will have in-house ground turkey, same as ground beef and any other cut of meat. It will be more recently ground, therefore fresher, and will give you an extra day or 2 in your own fridge rather than in a truck going cross country for a day or 2. Don't buy that prepackaged stuff anywhere, if you don't have to. Pay the extra for the fresher stuff, same as not buying prepacked deli meat from Oscar Meyer or whatever rather than from a store's deli counter.

    I won't even get any ground meat from Trader Joe's, and I'd get pretty much everything else at Trader Joe's.

    In general, I'd say don't buy any food products at a target or Walmart if you don't have to. The few bucks you might save aren't worth it in the long run.
