    And here I wish they cut them in half. A half turkey is a much better size for 4 or fewer people.

        I found that the meat to fat/bone ratio on Turkey was worse than Chicken. Always have so much waste when preparing Turkey the money just didn’t make it worth it.

        Turkey can feed more people, cheaper, and I make so many chickens I could use a change

              You specifically said you like turkey because it feeds more people, yet a whole turkey is apparently too big and you want half of one. Make up your mind man.

                Wow, still going? If you really need it:

                HALF Turkey can feed more people, cheaper, and I make so many chickens I could use a change.

                Seriously this isn’t hard.

                  A half turkey isn’t going to feed more people than a reasonably large chicken. They aren’t that big lmao. Cheaper maybe, but turkey isn’t as nice as chicken to begin with. I get wanting a change though. Also if you raise chickens then surely that’s the cheapest option?

                  Honestly though if you want half a turkey just save the other half for later. Make a curry or something, idk.

        Not a pleasant thing, but possibly a necessary thing for people with certain health issues. In fact, I may have to end up using it. I hope not, but it is a distinct possibility.

    No native English speaker would say “do these get any bigger” rather than “…come any bigger”

    So I’m assuming the shopper was a non-native speaker and the shelf stacker was JUST HORRIBLY RACIST OH MY GOD IM SO ANGRY I’M GOING TO WRITE A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO SOMEONE

    Edit - apparently I forgot that Americans are fucking retarded 😂😂😂

      Yes, every native English speaking Walmart shopper are perfectly fluent, masters of the linguistic arts. They are known throughout the Americas to be amongst the classiest and highest educated group of shoppers known to man. Even the ones known to procreate with their sisters are likely to have a degree. Likely, a masters. These are stats and known facts of the highly esteemed shoppers of Walmart

      I take it you haven’t had the opportunity to meet anyone that grew up on the southern USA.

      “Get” would be absolutely be colloquial for what you said.

        Yeah, I’m honestly shocked he’s never met a person who doesn’t speak perfect English who was native. I was the electronics guy at walmart and the most common question id get about speakers, and the most common wording was ‘do it get loud?’

        People talk how they want, simple as that lol.

      Then the punchline would have been “no they don’t cum at all, THEY’RE DEAD, you sick pervert.”

      As someone whose had the priviledge working both in a call centre & retail for several years… you’re wrong.

      Most is local colloquialisms, where regions sometimes substitute words or phrases for others.

      And then there’s the “native English speakers” that are straight up idiots, and butchering the language constantly…

      The amount of South Londoners that say “arced” instead of “asked” is too damn high.

      I’m a native speaker and not an American, but I didnt find this weird. I would probably say “do you have any bigger ones” not ask about the turkey cum.
