They apologized and refunded it. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 9 months ago (1 child) My partner got a chicken salad from a local co-op we love, but into a chicken piece, and it was pink and shiny on the inside. They brought it back and showed a clerk who was MORTIFIED. My partner wasn’t mad or anything, just a little worried about getting sick (which didn’t happen, thankfully!) and the co-op immediately took all of their chicken salad packs and threw them away. We didn’t even ask for a refund but we got a refund anyway. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Glytch@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (2 children) Sounds like they know how to keep customers.

A foodborne illness can sometimes take days before you develop symptoms. At that time, you might think it was that sketchy chicken salad that made you sick, and you might be right...but it could also be any number of other things that you ate before you got sick. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago Oh absolutely! We’ve since moved away and occasionally we make the trek back over there, because that place is awesome. I miss being able to get their hot bar all the time. Their tofu pad Thai is siiiiiiick permalink fedilink source parent
