Some asparagus in the inner city grocery store isn't sitting in water.  A member of the city’s human relations commission claims racism.

 

 

This is why inner cities can't have nice things.

You know who else had dry asparagus? The Jews.

Clearly the store is run by nazis.

That's the stupidest crap I've ever heard.

The asparagus he saw back in May was a far cry from the asparagus he had seen at the Schnucks about eight miles away in Ladue, where it sat in water, looking beautiful, he told his fellow commissioners, according to a recording of the meeting.

 

This reads like an Onion article.

Exactly. I was shaking my head the whole time I was reading it.

One of the dumbest things I have ever read

At what point is your life so pathetic that you actually make a complaint like this?  This story puts giving the guy mowing your elderly neighbors lawn a hard time because a single blade of grass ended up on your driveway to shame.

So instead of saying to the manager, you know, asparagas won't dry out if it's kept in water.  It's the store must be racist because it's not in water?  

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

No they were hidden in the guys pocket.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I suppose the real question is whether the collared greens were resting in water, right?

Heaven forbid if they were bound up and put in the back of the display.

seriously. why not ask them for some fresh asparagus and to make sure it's kept that way? i don't understand why he needed to go to such high places to complain. the assistant manager didn't solve the problem? then go to the manager, not the owner of the entire franchise.

10 bucks the guy who complained isn't even black.
