Bought a large pack of chicken wings from Costco today. When I reached home and opened the box, I realised that two chicken wings looked like as if they were half eaten. Called Costco and explained them the situation. They were more than happy to refund me the money.

I took the item back and showed it to the person at the refunds counter. He also agreed that the chicken wings in question did look like as they had been eaten.

I am appalled at the behavior of people. Why would someone in right mind do this kind of thing?

TL;DR - Found two pieces of half eaten chicken wings in my purchase from Costco.

    was the chicken wings raw or cooked? :)

    (never been to costco before)

    • [Deactivated] on 06/06/2017 - 07:28

      Chicken wings require 30 mins of cooking as per the instructions.

      The dodgy ones looked cooked and eaten. The returns guy did mention that it is possible that someone from deli might have done it.

      • ProjectZero on 06/06/2017 - 10:07

        Did you get the ones that require reheating or are they completely raw? I remember Costco sold some that just required reheating.

        • dfaktz on 07/06/2017 - 12:18

          These are definitely the preheated ones, imagine the sealed pack ones with bite marks practically in the wings as explained!

  • tomleonhart on 06/06/2017 - 08:29

        might actually be racist to ask you this just because "you're Asian" but a few of the restaurants I frequent sell salt and pepper quail and I eat the whole thing, bones and all. Am I meant to do that?

        • Archi on 08/06/2017 - 13:02

          hahaha…
          why would "an Asian" know any better

          I do not eat the bones… I put them in a bag and take them home for my dog..

          prawns however.. if fried crispy enough i'll eat the thing shell and all.

          you are still alive, cant be that bad

        • jonathonsunshine on 08/06/2017 - 13:05

          @Archi:
          Well, you prefixed comment about chicken wings that you were Asian implying that it was a cultural thing. And salt and pepper quail is a Asian dish. Sorry.

          Also, cooked chicken bones are really bad for dogs, can't see why quail would be different.

    If they had purchased the box of chicken wings they would have eaten them in the car and tossed the whole lot out the window.

        Now I'm confused. Either that's a 3kg box of cooked chicken wings- who the hell eats 3kg of chicken wings in a short time? Or it's a 3kg box of frozen chicken wings that somebody has eaten some from- who the hell eats frozen chicken?

        • tomleonhart on 07/06/2017 - 07:14

          They opened a 3kgs box of cooked chicken wing that has been chilled. Have a bite on 2 of them and put the lid back on the box without buying it.

          Think that's how it is.

    Lucky the bite marks on the chicken wings is something you can actually see.

    Imagine the things you've eaten that you couldn't have seen - eg, someone dropping it on the floor and picking it up or someone rubbing the chicken wing "somewhere that it's not meant to be rubbed".

    When I was in high school, my school mate worked at a chicken store inside the nearby shopping centre. One of the guys got sacked for humping a raw chicken in the corner next to the cooler. I guess he was trying to defrost it!

    okay - maybe don't imagine it! haha

    I never buy anything that requires climate control from prepacked places.

    Too many times I must have bought meat that has made its way around the supermarket, put in the wrong spot and eventually returned to the fridge. Like opening a mega rancid wet fart bomb in the kitchen.

    Off topic but it's pretty much the same thing as prepacked hot food… or much worse since the pack contents can be resealed.

    I went to Pancake Parlour in Civic ACT a decade or more ago, it was mid winter, and late night, so I ordered a mug of hot chocolate. It was delicious, but when I reached the bottom of the cup, there to great me was a lump of chewed chewing gum that most likely some previous customer had stuck to the bottom of the cup, and was not removed by the dishwashing machine. It still makes me feel sick thinking about it.

    Separate to this, many Woolworths supermarkets sell loose bread rolls and other assorted baked goods. The idea is to grab a bag and fill it using the provided tongs. One day I saw a group of women walk into the store and proceed to squeeze many of the bread rolls with their bare hands just so they could get a feel for their freshness.

    My Nephew received a quarter pounder with a large bite taken out of it from MacDonald's. This stuff very common, usually I think what happens is a customer returns a product saying it was not what they ordered and the staff just put it back on the heating rack.

      • freemoneyhunter on 07/06/2017 - 23:13

        It happened only a few months ago, I ordered a bigmac meal for myself and quarter pounder meal for the little guy, I was taking him to scouts, it is only one of the few kind things I have done for him and I wanted to make an impression. We were in the parking lot when he opened his meal and said "what is this?", I said just some of the bun must have broken off, he said it looked weird, I took a closer look and it was a moon bite all the way through from the top bun, the meat paddy and bottom bun. I said we have to take it back and he refused and said he will eat it, he said he didn't want to be late for scouts and a shit fight ensured in the car with me saying it has to be taken back and he can't eat it. Anyway I took it from him with him protesting. took it to counter and they make a fresh burger for him. I could have taken it further but I felt sorry for the manager on duty who seemed like a nice woman.

    A few years ago, I found myself at a Coles one early Sunday morning. While waiting in queue, me and a few other people in line quickly whiffed a nauseating violent smell that was so bad people were commenting on it, a girl in front of me who was still in her clothes from the night before - extremely short skirt/high heels, turns around and mentions to me that she reckons it's the old lady in the other line. Anyway - when it comes to her turn in the checkout, she drops her purse on the ground and when she bends over to pick it up, her knickers fall down around her ankles and sitting in them is the most disgusting tampon you could imagine. Panicking, she quickly pulled her knickers up as fast as she could, and her tampon flung out and hit the floor like a wet mop. She didn't end up completing her purchase.

    I used to work at Maccas and Bunnings and people would take a dump on the cistern of the toilet right on top of the buttons.
    This would take some effort and positioning, certainly more so than just taking a crap in the bowl like a normal person, so it means people actually were making an effort to be gutter scum.

    • OzzyOzbourne on 08/06/2017 - 12:58

      Fortunately in the office toilets at work we have pictures show people how to sit on the toilet, although some still manage to spray it up to the handle.

      I expect it could be difficult to know how to use the toilet if you're from a different country.

      But then we let retardes psychopaths drive trucks on our roads, so that's probably more of an issue.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/06/2017 - 13:30

      Some of this is probably cultural, as some folk refuse to sit on the dunny (and who can blame them), and instead stand on the dunny so they can squat just like they do back home.

      The upshot is they can shit everywhere, and potentially break the dunny and their arse if they're not careful.

      No need to thank me for sharing.

    Humans are just pretty thoughtless, selfish beings for the most part.

    Anyone here been to the toilets at Chadstone shopping center in Melbourne?
    It's supposed to be an upmarket shopping centre (considering some of the stores in there), and the bathrooms were the most disgusting thing I've ever experienced at a shopping centre.

    I also wonder if this is because a large % of the shoppers are Asian tourists who are used to having people attend bathrooms 24/7 so they basically piss/shit wherever they feel the need. Don't flush, don't clean up after yourself, piss on the floor. Someone else will look after it. They just don't know any better I guess. Cultural thing.
