If enough customers do it then they'll either offer loose mushrooms or attempt to make it harder to help yourself.
In the US, unhusked ears of corn are often sold loose. Many customers would pull part of the husk away to see if the ear was undamaged. This turned into people standing at the corn container and fully shucking the corn while standing in the grocery aisle! Now grocers station bins next to the corn so people won't make a shambles of the store.
You can buy husked corn, too, but it comes on a tray with plastic wrap over it!
If a sealed box of berries has a bit of mold, then the whole box won't sell and gets wasted. I'm all in favor of buying produce by weight instead of in plastic packages.
Endowments are usually thickly encumbered by rules set by the donors. If you endow a professorship, then the investment income your endowment generates is only to pay for the professor. That money isn't there to pay for keeping the lights on.
Universities most often wish to get unrestricted gifts, but it's easier to get donors to endow specific programs, or construction projects, etc. So, sure, universities control huge investment portfolios, and that gives them a kind of power, but they aren't free to spend the income from those investments however they wish.
There's a parallel here between not questioning religious dogma and not questioning the Dear Leader. Fact-checkers have never done our Republican President any good because he lies both deliberately and out of his own unbounded ignorance.
Sorry- many questions. In his mind it was ok to murder people if, in his opinion(!), they look like someone who *may* have crossed a border without permission? Is he incapable of empathy? Where do these stunted human beings come from?
I wonder what other things he thinks justify murder.
I believe you've hit on it. The beak is definitely too long for a RWBB, and when I looked at juvenile Starlings on eBird they did have black bills before maturity. Thank you!
I think they were too big to be cowbirds, but I can see how Merlin might come up with that. Thank you!
Yes, it's a closure. The calendar for the year gets ratified by our unions. It's all part of the greater deal. We don't think people should work on Juneteenth. They don't a want day off. So we got the day off, but they don't pay us. As in every negotiation, you can't always get everything you want. For the most part I'm happy with my union and my employer.
