If you’re buying shrimp at Walmart, you kinda deserve what’s coming to you.
Nobody deserves tainted food.
You’re right, I do honestly agree with you.
Perhaps better said would be if you’re buying shrimp from Walmart, don’t be surprised at what happens.
I 100% mean this as an indictment of Walmart.
I mean... I could name a few...
In some areas, Walmart is the only option.
Not buying shrimp is an option.
It’s one of the cheaper forms of protein. One of those frozen bags cost me $5 and I split it over two meals. The only cheaper option is chicken drumsticks or canned chicken and I’m sick of those.
Plus free radioactivity.
What a bonus! I paid like $40 each for my uranium and trinitite samples a few years back!
You are being downvoted because you are a terrible person and you should be ashamed
Zing.
Oh no, not downvotes.
That's the thing you took away from that?
From your comment, yes. It added nothing to the discussion.
Walmart should be charged for poisoning the citizens
there's a lot of shit that happens to that food that employees aren't paid enough to care about.
seriously, be way more discriminating about fish
No question there.
Walmart is a grocery store
Came here to make this exact same comment. Yall, do not buy shrimp from Walmart lmao this was common sense 15 years ago
And if there are no other grocery stores in the area that sell shrimp at a similar price point?
A reasonable person would choose not to buy shrimp. Perhaps it’s at the price point because of its quality.
Then maybe geography is trying to tell your landlocked ass not to get shrimp
