As someone who grew up in the Denver area, here is some additional context. King Soopers is the grocery store that most people go to(Kroger owned). The Kroger brand eggs are the cheapest they offer and in the city they are $7.89 a dozen. In the suburbs $7.39. Downtown supermarkets are always a little more expensive. There are some egg brands priced at $10.99 and higher but the cheapest ones are still getting really expensive. And that’s if they aren’t sold out due to the shortage.
So a dollar more than a banana
How much can it cost, Michael?
Kinda irrelevant, but get fucked Eggslut. Worst place to work for, owners are a bunch of liars and have terrible management practices. This is absolutely killing them and I love that for them.
Well that fucking sucks
Ate at 2 in Japan and loved it, asked for whipped cream on my pancakes and the dude very seriously emptied an entire can while staring at me. I tried to stop him, he did not listen
Generally, the staff and vibes are cool. I met some great people working there. They like to put up that front that they’re trying to be cool and edgy. I was a cook for a long time at that point and flipping eggs isn’t exactly hard or special, but they made it this big ordeal, which is fine but you can’t look me in the face and tell me that what we’re doing here is a culinary feat.
With me, I worked at their GCM location in L.A. and they were opening up a new spot in Glendale. They asked me to help open up the store under the stupilation that if I worked for so long and did ‘X’ things, I would get a promotion. When it came time for the raise and I had completed what they asked of me, I was constantly told it would happen, but they would give me the run around. Until finally someone else in the store was eligible as well, so instead of just giving us both the position they made us do a ‘cook off’ and when me and the other persons food came back exactly alike and they couldn’t discriminate the begrudgingly gave me a portion of what they promised.
I cooked for them well, did what they asked of me, and came in on time so they couldn’t fire me unless they wanted to pay me unemployment or maybe have me file a fucking lawsuit for unlawful termination. I just didn’t play ball with their bullshit and didn’t let them walk over me because they left such a bad taste in my mouth with my inital (verbal) offer being essentially reneged upon and they didn’t like that at all. So they just made my job hell until I left. L.A. was hands down the worst place to cook. I’m sure there are a lot of opportunities there for people, but man if you aren’t taken advantage of at every turn…
Oh, also. When L.A. raised their minimum wage, the store in Glendale didn’t get the raise because it wasn’t in L.A. and the whole store went on strike because of it. Don’t know what happened with it. I just heard it second hand from an old coworker.
These fuckers are opening places all over THE WORLD and they nickle and dime their employees and generally treat them like shit. Fuck Jaime, and all of the owners (they were nice in person but they pulled the strings to make our lives hell).
Edit: forgot to say, glad you enjoyed your pancakes ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
And if you are an independent egg vendor you have to submit a 1099 form with your taxes. Coincidence?
Should have gotten the small caged eggs.
Can’t. Eggs have to be cage free in CO since January 1st. The law passed 2 years ago, so of course egg companies are acting like they couldn’t possibly have prepared for it to take effect. The plus side (for me and like 5 other people) is that this makes the vegan egg alternative seem WAY more reasonably priced these days.
Its such a too-little too-late maneuver. If closed coops hadn’t been these giant petri dishes for disease over the last thirty years, maybe we wouldn’t have mutated a strain of H5N1 that was so virulent. Now we’re switching to free range just in time for our sickened flocks to infect the wild migratory fowl that pass through.
Only thing to do is… checks latest EO… defund all public health and safety measures against infection and transmission.
I was not being serious.
Eggs have to be cage free in CO since January 1st.
I can buy an 18 pack of those exact same eggs here in Central Wyoming for 8.87. That’s right, I get 6 more of the exact same eggs for $2 less.
Denver is stupid.
Yes, but then you have to live in central Wyoming, which is a trade off that’s only worth it for some people
And you have to brag about it on the internet because no one else lives in central Wyoming.
12.99 at my tourist town in CA
peasant food going on elite cuisine?
God i love having chickens
They’re $7/dozen here, but Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs for $2.77, limit 2 dozen. I don’t have Aldi near me but was at one within the last week.
Aldi has cruelty guaranteed eggs
Uh…
You should put maga stickers next to the price tag, just to remind the folks :)
People need to start putting trump “I did this” stickers on everything like the magats were on gas pumps.
Time to start raising chickens.
FYI eggs from backyard chickens have a higher level of lead in them. On account of cities being polluted with leaded gasoline for decades. Fun times.
Unleaded gas became standard in the 70s. If you live in a dense city that was built 40+ years ago and eat eggs daily and are a small child, you may reach the non-recomended intake amount, barely.
Most people with a backyard big enough for chickens don’t live in the urban areas that had such dense lead exposure anyways
A few thoughts on that. Unleaded started in 1975. I’d like to know when it reached 50% of the vehicles but googling doesn’t give me that. Assuming 20 years for the entire fleet to turn over, that would give 1985 for 50%. I think you want 25% or less leaded cars until you don’t have too much lead in the air, so that goes to about 1990. The pollution didn’t end immediately at the city limits, so the burbs that would be built on the next mile or so would still be on polluted land. So I think that gets you to houses built 1995+ to even 2000+ to get to uncontaminated land (depending on how fast your city was growing).
I know around here the houses with decent backyards were built in the 70s to 80s. In the 90s the yards were getting small, and nowadays they are almost nonexistent. So the best suburbs for chickens are 80s and earlier. Which is also the contaminated land.
Last thought is that they keep saying that there is no safe level of lead exposure.
And about nobody is raising chickens in an urban environment.
We have a lot of backyard chicken farms in Vancouver.
Suburbs don’t really count.
If the suburbs were around in the 80s, they were exposed to the lead.
I’m not talking about the suburbs. I live by Commercial drive, I have neighbours with backyard chickens.
Edit: For those who don’t know Vancouver, Commercial drive is about a 15 minute bike ride from the heart of downtown.
We are “uptown” for lack of a better description, not the more expensive part but quite close to downtown and do have a yard, our neighbors keep chickens and it’s protected inside the city, you are allowed to raise them and the feral ones are also protected by law, you can’t just take them and make Coq au Vin.
Community chickens? Like community gardens.
Already started. We have a coop about ready, my wife has experience, we’re semi-rural, about set. Only thing, I want them free range and I’m not sure about the wildlife.
Haven’t seen a fox in ages. The local coyotes don’t come in here, yet, but a massive new development is pushing them out of their comfort zone. Plenty of raptors it seems. But hell, I can afford everything but a ton of fencing, of any kind.
What to do? Just run out with the 20-gauge and start blasting at 3AM when shit goes sideways?!
I need to post on the chicken comm.
Peacocks can chase off predators.
My primary plan is to hatch extra and expect some losses. Wildlife needs to eat, too, and I can’t fault it for doing so, even if it’s inconvenient for me.
However I’ll also employ roosters, which are annoying but do great protecting the flock (even sacrificing themselves to save their ladies). If you can’t/won’t have roosters for whatever reason, a couple geese will help as well, or you can add them to the roostered flock for extra protection, I believe.
Personally, the only way I’d ever shoot something going after my flock would be if it’s a threat to the enclosed run/coop where they stay at night and in bad weather. Or if they were habitual about raiding my flock.
But chickens should be in a coop at night so as long as you have one critters can’t get into, you probably won’t have too many losses.
Bird flu is still an issue
Nobody is mentioning this when talking about raising fowl. I’ve had chickens and the primary reason I’m not doing that now is because I don’t want primary contact with h5n1. I don’t even know if testing is available and if it is imagine it isn’t cheap. Even if I made a fully enclosed pen so wild birds can’t get to the food or water I’d still worry. And I want my animals to free roam.
Impossible, Orange Julius was fixing the prices. What is the hold up?
It’s Hussein Obama eating all them eggs! Thanks Obama!
Must be the DEI chickens.
Couldn’t have been, because that pompous dick Gaston eats the entire daily supply every morning to get jacked.
He should sign another eggsecutive order
Closing in on a buck an egg.
Its just packaged chicken cum. No big deal.
I was aware the USA has some educational troubles, but either you are trolling or joking or these troubles are much more serious than I anticipated.
Yeah dude
Cage free eggs are already some of the most expensive eggs anyway.
