03:50 hrs.
14 Jul 15
I just got back to the WAYWARD INN from work and I have to make sure that I filled you in on what happened about eight hours ago.
We had just finished supper. Carrots, shwartzies hashbrowns, and some mixed proteins. I say mixed because in cleaning out the freezer there were three bacon wrapped fillets and a chichen cordon swiss. So three of us a steaks and one did not. Loin Fruit #1 opted for the chicken. No sooner did finish dining and tidy up when there was a call from On-Tari-Ari-O. It was Costco calling with some important information. This was no ordinary rob-o call. It was targeted specifically at us.
"Our records indicate that on such and such date your household purchased a box of chicken cordon swiss that may be from Lot Number 1, 2 or 3. It has been discovered that some of Lot Number 1, 2 or 3 is contaminated with salmonella. If you still have all or a portion of that purchase please return it to the nearest Costco outlet for a full refund. Thank you."
I ask you this ...what are the odds that on the very day that the very last chicken cordon swiss was consumed that we would receive such a call? Well, when you consider that everything that you purchase has a bar code and all your purchases are correlated against your membership card the subsequent database provides the corporation, who ever it may be, with ability to reach out to you the customer. Pretty scary shit!
Oh yeah, before I forget, Loin Fruit #1 is fine. Not even a tummy ache.
