Please don't be or raise sub-humans who leave perishable food or your garbage in random places in the grocery store.
I saw 2 raw steaks wrapped in styrofoam sitting on the shelf in the canned aisle in Metro today, & it's so disheartening. Such laziness!!! At least put it in another refrigerated area so it doesn't go bad!!! Or give it to the cashier & tell them you changed your mind so staff will put it back. Whenever I change my mind on something I pick up, I always put it back to where I got it. If you don't do this, "because it's too much effort/takes too much time" you're actually scum & not worthy of existence.
Trashy f-wits who do this deserve ALL the bad karma.
