Shopper: I Was Banned From Safeway Because I Asked For Large Chicken Breasts

A man in Colorado claims he was given the boot -- and a trespassing notice that bans him from the property for one year -- from his local Safeway. But it wasn't over shoplifting or anything like that; he says it was all because of a misunderstanding about his poultry order.

According to the 61-year-old shopper, he recently stopped into the Safeway to purchase some chicken breasts from the deli counter. And when the woman behind the counter asked which ones he preferred, he says he pointed out his selection and said, "I like the large ones."

It's unclear whether or not he had intended on the double entendre, but the man claims the female employee "chuckled" at his statement.

But thinks weren't quite as funny for him the next week. When he approached the deli counter, he saw the woman who had previously served him walk away from the counter, leaving a different female employee to take his order.

He says that this second woman was so rude to him that he felt compelled to complain to the store manager. And that's when he got the earful, he says:

She said, 'The last time you were here, you giggled about this woman's large breasts.' And I said, 'Oh, baloney.' And then she opened up her flip phone and called the police, and I listened to her make up this whole story about me cussing and threatening her.

As he exited the store, the man was stopped by a police officer who issued him a trespassing notice, effectively forbidding him from entering the Safeway for one year.

Someone needs to post the location of this store.

I guarantee once word gets out their chicken sales will be through the roof with every smartass in town coming in to order a couple of the impressive breasts they have there.

According to the above link, the first woman was “heavy-set” and the second one was “extremely surly”.

The only safe thing for a guy to do is order 2 fried eggs on a hook!

In college, I had a very well-endowed female classmate named “Patricia Purdue.” I refered to her as “Patty Purdue and her oven stuffer roasters.”

Soooo... what’s the acceptable way to ask for large chicken breasts?

For those who have not heard it, here is the anecdote.

During a visit to America, Winston Churchill was invited to a buffet luncheon at which cold fried chicken was served. Returning for a second helping, he asked politely, "May I have some breast?"

"Mr. Churchill," replied the hostess, "in this country we ask for white meat or dark meat." Churchill apologized profusely.

The following morning, the lady received a magnificent orchid from her guest of honor. The accompanying card read: "I would be most obliged if you would pin this on your white meat."

Next thing you’ll know he’ll get banned from produce for asking a clerk what’s good for tossing fruit salad?

Sounds like the dais at a Dean Martin celebrity roast.
