A Trader Joe's worker: "We get in trouble if we do anything… It don't bother me, I've been working here for two years, I see it happen everyday. After a while, you just don't care."

Where's the beef? Video shows man stealing 10 steaks from NYC Trader Joe's
 
By Steven Hirsch, Larry Celona and Catalina Gonella
February 8, 2022
 
"Holy cow!
 
A man was caught on Post video allegedly brazenly swiping about a dozen steaks from a Manhattan Trader Joe's on Tuesday morning.
 
The suspect — now wanted by cops — was at the grocery store's
East 14th Street location around 8:30 a.m. when he was caught on
footage strolling out the door with 10 packages of meat piled up
in his arms.
 
Two helpless Trader Joe's staffers had followed the man up an
escalator leading to the store's exit but only stopped him from
taking a shopping basket outside – not the meat, the video shows.
 
"They basically just tell us not to do anything, just let them go," a
Trader Joe's worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, later explained to The Post.
 
"We get in trouble if we do anything… It don't bother me, I've been
working here for two years, I see it happen everyday. After a while,
you just don't care."
 
Trader Joe's did not respond to a request for comment from The Post.
 
Police were called to the grocery store, and the incident is now under investigation by the NYPD's robbery squad, law-enforcement sources said.
 
Earlier this month, steak and fish retailers told The Post that shoplifters
have been stealing pricey grocery items from their shops and reselling
them to unscrupulous bodegas in other parts of the city, forcing them
to jack up their prices or opt out of selling the gourmet items all together.
 
Retail-theft complaints citywide have jumped 36 percent from 2020 to
2021, the NYPD has said.
 
As for Tuesday's incident, a Post photographer questioned the
suspect about what he was doing, and the man initially said he'd
paid for the items but then claimed that he was homeless and
had stolen the food to eat, the video shows.
 
"I'm gonna eat it," the man says in the video. "I'm f–king hungry."
 
As the man walked away from the Trader Joe's with the cumbersome
booty in tow, he had difficulty holding on to the packages and at one
point threw them into a large, black garbage bag that was already in
use by a street sweeper, the video shows.
 
"My man! My man! What the f–k you doing? Give my bags back!" the
street sweeper said as he chased after the man.
 
The suspect claimed to the worker that he'd replace the bag he swiped,
but the street sweeper shot back, "I don't give a damn!" and the man
was forced to unload the meat and took off before cops arrived..."

While I've never made a sauce from fresh tomatoes, adding some to the
sauce is a good thing. Fresh tomatoes have "that taste" that you'll
never get from a can.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster_War
 
"In 1961, a dispute between Brazilian and French fisherman escalated
into an international incident, almost sparking a shooting war between
the two nations. The dispute was over French fishing trawlers
catching spiny lobsters along the continental shelf of Brazil. It has
become knows as the Lobster War...
 
When French fisherman began to work the continental shelf, 100 miles
off the coast of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, Brazilian
fishermen called on the assistance of the Brazilian Navy, which
dispatched two corvettes to the area to force the French ships
back into deeper water and allow Brazilian ships to work the
area. The French responded by deploying the destroyer "Tartu"
to the area. As the crisis deepened, the Brazilian Navy responded
with the deployment of a cruiser and aircraft carrier...
 
With both sides considering the commencement of a shooting
war over lobsters, cooler heads eventually prevailed and the
matter was referred to an international court for arbitration. The
case hinged on if lobsters were bottom-dwelling creatures and
belonged to the shelf and were therefore Brazilian or if they
swam like fish and were then able to fished by the French
fishermen...
 
In the end, the matter was resolved by the Brazilians claiming
their territorial water extended 200 miles off their coast, absorbing
the continental shelf and its fish AND crustaceans. The final part
of the resolution of the dispute was that 26 French fishing boats
were allowed to work the continental shelf for a period of five
years in exchange for a percentage of any profit made working
the area..."

> That style of cornbread has little to do with the cornbread favored by the South. Southern cornbread uses a mix of cornmeal and flour or 100% cornmeal. I've made Southern style cornbread but not with 100% cornmeal. It's kind of dry, dense, and crumbly. It's also not sweet. It's meant to be eaten with other foods.
> The cornbread that we eat here is more like a cake, has a good amount of sugar and fat in it, and is made with more flour than cornmeal. It works well as a dessert or with coffee. I sure as heck wouldn't eat it with chili.
 
Sweet cornbread works very well with chili, actually.

Looks like good cornbread to me, Leo.
Mine looks the same only half as thick.
 
To make mine thicker (like that), I could always use a smaller pan or
just double the batch.
 
Hint: rub some butter on top to soak in right after cooking, while it's
still hot.
 
I suspect Sheldon's nice dark crust muffins might be a little too dry
inside unless he adds some extra milk to the batter.
 
Whenever I bake cakes, I always add a little extra milk too. Keeps it
very moist.

Not all cartoons are for young children. I wouldn't let my young
daughter watch something like that. Young children should have
supervised internet access.

Yes. My EOJ comment was "End of Job" due to John's subject line.
He keeps talking this nonsense and it will happen. Just a matter of time.
