I asked the wife to pick up some frozen mysid shrimp if she happened
to find any in the stores in town, and low and behold when she came
home she had a factory sealed box of mysid of 12, 1# packs...Inside
the box was 12 of the 1# packs. She had asked the one store clerk how
much they were, and did not really want to arbitrarily open that
factory sealed pack of 12, but the store clerk told her it was "$7.00"
and she said ok she would take it.......She stated she would take it,
but wanted to look around somemore in the store, and the clerk said
she would put it in the other freezer until she was ready to leave.
and pack it so it woud stay colder longer...Fine, wife got ready to
leave, same store clerk came to checkout and rang her up, she paid for
the mysid, and the clerk said I'll go and wrap them up in newspapers
and a brown bag so they stay frozen longer, dissapeared and then
reappeared with a package........in a brown paper sack stuffed and
wrapped with newspapers, only to find she paid $7.00 for 12
packs.......still in the factory sealed flat box.
