A&P Supermarket Training Video--Think to Prevent Shrink (1992)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 кві 2016
- This video was part of A&P's orientation for new supermarket workers. It's from 1992 and chock-full of big hair, acid-washed jeans and hilarious acting. I keep thinking I can hear Troy McClure in the voice-over.
The video was used at all A&P banners and was filmed at the A&P Sav-A-Center in Killingly, CT. Enjoy!

Coming home from my job in a supermarket to watch training videos for working in a supermarket is peak life
😂😂😂 That is what we do in the twenty-first century! Forget flying vehicles!😄
🤣
Bro, I have worked for the same grocery store for nine years and I do the same thing.
Its a lot work at food store. Myself i am bagger at my food store.
I did that for 10 years first job out of highschool
Here I am watching this for fun, when I bet the employees who had to watch this thought it was a total drag
Now let's talk SHRINKAGE, shall we? 😆
Me too! Isn't it strange? Part of the human condition, no doubt. Do you also adore infomercials? I do, especially for things that make food.
I had to watch this in 2014, it was.
i just wanna go home and play Pogs with my friends.,..
They got paid for watching it, you didn't.
Corporate wants you to prevent shrink, yet they intentionally broke a jar of pickles three jars of jelly and two boxes of cereal for this video
curious
😂😂😂
There's nothing more Jersey in this world than sneaking a box of Newport Lights into your acid-wash denim jacket at A&P
Cheesegod 😆 I hope his getaway car was an IROC Z
or a pack/carton of unfiltered camels in your inner jacket homemade pocket.

If that were shown today, Trumpturds would cry reverse-racism, because it showed a white person stealing.
"Two boxes of Rice Krispies are cut and cannot be sold. As punishment, we have cut off that employee's hands."
You made me gut chuckle 🤭
That seems fair.
Aaaaaannnnndddd now I'm sitting around on a Saturday watching old training vids all day.
no better way to spend a saturday
will you marry me ? We could have some more new babies
Oh my freaking God, it IS Saturday night! * cries *
MWorsa ....I know...this shit is the best
life is good isnt it
Hi I'm Troy McClure, you might remember me from the film "Shoplifting. The store inside the elevator"
youre comment is the reason i love the internet
Aren't you Troy McClure from "Buck Henderson: Union Buster" and "Gladys, the groovy mule"?
@@Menaceblue3 I'm also the Troy McClure from "Alice's Adventures Through The Windshield Glass."
I think the coolest things about these old videos is seeing products that you don't see anymore.
Pizzarrias!
It's interesting how 90% of this training video is still common practice in grocery store training. They really had it down to an art 28 years ago.
That's one way to think about it. The other is that they haven't innovated or improved at all.
As a current grocery store employee I love this kinda stuff
I pity you
The way to prevent shrinkage is to keep your package warm.
Thank You, Mr. Costanza. 😒
James B I was in the pool lol
@@luisreyes1963 good one you deserve more likes for that
Only then will you get your hands on that sweet sweet Tang from the thumbnail
I WAS IN THA POOL JERRY
People shoplifting Tang.. It was a real problem in the 80's.
Aaron Stigall lmfao right
It's what the astronauts drank. 😂
Take some Tang and go! 😂😂
...they were racking it up!
Sweet sweet Tang. How empires rose and crumbled
you don't ever put meat that was left on a shelf back in the meat section. you do not know how long it has been there you give it to the meat manager
I saw that too! How do you know how long it's been out? and if it's warm, ew. that needs to just be damaged out and tossed.
Poor snack cakes! Contaminated!
Correct
Check the meat temperature.
I think it has to be below 8°C but I can't be sure.
Yes and they threw out the dog food because it was left in the cart
This got Best Picture in 1992.
5 bags of popcorn
back when cigarettes use to be on the shelves for all your shopping needs...
that fueled my smoking habit of non filtered camels at age 14 in 1969. no age requirement of 18 then. 49 yrs later at age 63, still smoking those same camels. i quit quitting smoking a long time ago. the damage is done so what does it matter at my age now ?
@@roadmaster720 your lungs are still getting blacker and blacker and less pockets becoming just one cavety. Instead of the sponge.
My grandad died because of this....
Don't forget cigarette vending machines.
And you could pump gas before paying. Fill N Flee lol
@@roadmaster720 I had a friend who smoked Pall Mall unfiltered cigarettes. He passed away about a year ago in his 70s. Got cancer.
They could still sell the cut boxes of Rice Krispies at a reduced price as long as the internal packet was still sealed.
"Not exactly what you'd expect to see occurring in your store..." I was in our local A & P when there was an armed robbery where he shot the manager, I'd say someone dropping a jar of pickles pales in comparison.
@TheRenaissanceman65 except you know, people who plan to be criminals will be anyways.
@TheRenaissanceman65 lel criminals will always carry guns. I dare you to rob a store where everyone has an ak-47
TheRenaissanceman65
See, you would think that would help, but last time I checked, the problem (in America) is most crimes with guns were gained illegally. It would just cause guns to be a more desired item for certain criminals, which then cause certain people to freak out more because now they have nothing to protect themselves with. To put it short, it would probably be the 20’s bootleg era but... worse.
Also, who’s gonna take away the guns? Like, both legally owned and illegally owned. Do you know just how many people would refuse or find ways to get away with it? People in America already don’t trust the government, them knocking on doors and forcefully banning guns *will* go poorly.
Especially as it stands. Courts have ruled that police aren’t legally required to help people. If you call 911 and they say “You’re on your own,” you’re on your own and there is no legal repercussion.
And Imma be honest, as someone who has had a gun pointed at them twice, once by a SWAT member and once by a friend’s cousin who thought I was a burglar, I’d rather have a gun pointed at me by the friend’s cousin. I’m not really afraid of people owning guns. I’m more afraid of people misusing their training, criminals, or mentally ill people who slipped through the system due to aforementioned people owning guns.
Also hunting is it’s whole own argument. (Proper) Hunting is the most sustainable form of getting meat, if not sometimes completely necessary. And if someone on that fringe goes on to kill someone else... Well, it’s impossible to get rid of gun violence 100% already. You have to pick your battles and decide if people staying safe from wild animals is better than outlier killers.
What the video said is still accurate. If you expect a robbery and a shooting, you're not expecting dropped pickles. No one expects the dropped pickles.
Condemnedxbox
Ironically what you said seems to lead more to the idea that the gun problem is more of a problem of the system rather than the guns themselves.
I agree that the police system is a total mess and they often overuse guns. I think that’s quite obvious. I also wouldn’t be surprised if criminals using guns is at least in part a reaction to cops. But I don’t think fixing the criminal system will fully fix the criminal gun problem. They will definitely hold to their guns for the same power trip reasons some cops hold guns. Them feeling “safe” from cops won’t do anything.
On the topic of “legalizing guns to begin with,” that’s.... Okay, for starters, the infamous “Right to Bear Arms” has existed from the VERY beginning, and back then made a whole hell of a lot of sense.
One was the idea that if the new government messed up and became corrupted, they would be able to fight back. Which, back then, was totally viable to them since they /literally/ did that.
The second thing (and the oldest reason that still holds up to today) Is that they lived in a vast fairly empty space with wild animals that would not hesitate to kill or maim them. (Of corse in cities and highly populated states this doesn’t really apply, but in many states, this is honestly very important. Not to touch or even mention what I said earlier about ethically sourced meat.)
I also can’t really say anything about “shoot first, ask questions later” because I live in a state where getting a gun is harder, so the people I know who own guns amounts to about one hand. And none of them would be so lenient as to shoot random people who they don’t know just because they showed up. But again, that’s just where I’m from.
Speaking of that, in my state having a gun pointed at you is not considered in any shape or form normal. (Unless you’ve been involved with heavy criminal activity I guess) The only reason it happened to me was because there was a fake bomb threat to my school (which is definitely not normal for most schools, but the students who went to mine were a little screwy. Hey, at least it wasn’t a gun threat, right? [actually thinking about it, it might have been a gun threat? Or a mistaken shooting report? My school was really screwy and people sending in fake threats/claims that they knew someone was planning on doing something happened like three times; all so the students could get out of school. Take that as you will I guess.]) You could argue if it was wrong or right to send in a SWAT team, but I’d still at argue it’s less “they have guns, oh no!” And more “they have guns and while they are trained to know how to use them, they haven’t been trained how to not use them as well, oh --.” Also, if a bomb threat at a school is happening, what are you gonna plan to come in with? Throwing knives? My point is, while unfortunate, in that particular situation, it made sense and definitely isn’t normal. I’ve said a lot about this so I won’t blab on about the second time.
Moral of the story is America was and still is a storm of situations and happenstance. You don’t know what solution that seems logical now will have major illogical and unintended consequences. And really, that goes for *ALL* countries too. The best anyone can do is play damage control, and trying to get guns off the streets and push the prison system to be one more aimed for rehabilitation than putting all the poor drug addicts trapped in a cage would do more to help than just flat out banning guns would ever do. Because in the end, it’s not the guns that are the problem, it’s the people behind them.
(I haven’t slept so I hope this all makes sense and I didn’t repeat anything too much)
Don't forget to include the old country buffet training video in your 90's training tour. It's a gem.
Gimme that
Allllright
@@LyhneInc it's my favorite
How you think we ended up here??
@Darren Gordon-Hill youtube algorithm Is a dangerous thing. lol
Also hilarious to me how they tell employees to return perishible stuff as soon as possible to the cooler. Today, any meat or frozen vegetable found outside their area gets scanned out. Not worth risking a food poisoning lawsuit to save 10$ on a pack of chicken thighs
Idk why this is so pleasant to watch.
The music, maybe.
The guy anchoring the video was super professional and they touched up on some very good points. That was actually one of the better executed training videos I've seen.
I was thinking 'did this guy go on to be a tv anchor?' - he has the right look and voice.
I’ve seen him in another supermarket training video
He's no Troy McClure, but he's okay.
I found him to be both threatening and annoying AF.
Obviously he failed at his job because A&P went out business.
Something they missed when it comes to finding perishable food left by a customer in an aisle is to check to see if it's still cold before you put it back in the fridge section. Unless you actually see the customer leave it, you don't know how long it's been out if you end up finding it.
I wish a 25 pound bag of dog food was still $9.99 😂
Same LOL.
Get rid of your dog.
@Donnell0303High quality food for a low quality mutant.
As a part timer I was sent to cashiers school in anticipation of the plaid stamp rollout in 1961for A&P.We had to learn to the right key for produce(green) meats(red) and I believe two different keys for groceries ,one taxable and the other regular groceries. We had to figure the taxes for some items. By the way the produce manager and meat manager were very protective that we hit the right keys for their products since they had to show a profit for their departments.The meat manager would often come up to the register when a large meat order was being purchased.People would actually come in the morning and squeeze the he'll out of the fruit and tomatoes and come back before closing to get a mark down on produce.These people were not poor by any means,just people that gamed the system.Oh by the way cigarettes that was shelved on top of register were 22 cents
"Meat Manager" - there's something to put on a resume
You fools! Now I know how to shrink an entire grocery store.
Two steaks back in 1992 18 dollars? Dayum must of been some huge steaks!
Paul Feagans indeed, that’s a crazy price.
These days, you can get a new movie on DVD or Blu-Ray for....More than that!
that’s NJ/NY for ya
it was probably real meat and no plastic steak
RE-L Mayer facts before the world went to shit in every way lol
I worked at that A&P in the mid 90's, I was the courtesy girl. Thank you for the nostalgia. 😁
What even is that?! The person to say hello at the door?!!
Jealous, but also not cause it seems boring AF and stocking while store open or closed (like usual for stocking shifts) or doing the register.
+Dutchik It is a misnomer. Basically I worked the complaints desk. It is the person who takes the brunt of abuse from customers.
@@bethanybergeson4192 ahaha. Yeah with us thats literally everyone in the store. And every cashier needs to be able to do service desk, since it is just a register. I still can't, but my function has recently changed. So i will. Just on the whiteboard it then just says service desk and your name. And you'll get called everytime when there is someone. Else you just stand in the store stocking, like all other cashiers except the main register.
Bethany Bergeson I never realized it either, but the “Courtesy Desk” term is used in the Northeast and New England areas. We always called it the “Courtesy Counter” in my store too. I still refer to it as “Courtesy” when I am in any store, and many people have no idea what I am talking about.
Did anyone try and steal your Tang?
I forgot how nicely dressed grocery store employees used to be. I used to have to wear a black bow tie, white shirt and red apron with black shoes when I worked at Hughes market. I think they need to return to that look. Now you can barely tell who’s an employee anymore. But I guess even the public dresses shabby today. It is what it is.
Yeah there is Nothing like dressing like a million bucks to earn Minimum wage.
@@alwillk Dress like a million bucks? That’s funny! If only. I always made above minimum wage when I worked at grocery stores back in the 50s. Btw If you’re doing a good job, you ask for a raise. If you don’t get it. You start looking for another job. The clothes (uniform) I wore was cheap. The clip on bow tie and apron were provided by the store. If you’re making minimum wage, it’s a starting wage for your in experience. I live in LA. The minimum wage has been replaced and is now called ‘the living wage’ lol. It’s currently $17.50 an hour. Most waitresses make $20.00 an hour, plus tips. Many dress like crap and would probably prefer a job provided uniform. But hey I know most people would feel discriminated against or oppressed today if an employer demanded they did. Playing victim is an Olympic sport now. 😂
Why am I stuck 20 years ago watching the hell out of training videos from fast food to buffet to grocery stores and fucking Nintendo... I CANT STOP
Steak stealer Steve @ 4:40 is still on the run. Last time I read he's plundering potatoes at the local farmers market.
And humping them sacks of rutabagas.
Joe Oliveira Run Steve Run !The store wants the steak back.
My Dad was a Produce Manager for A&P back when there were stores in Ohio (late '70s). He often said that he had to sell it before it turned into garbage!
produce is one of the most perishable items. It has to be sold fast because of how short its shelf-life is.
My Mom worked retail for 41 years. No way!
The total loss was $116. I added it up on my calculator and it came to $116 not $120
I feel personally attacked by the tip about putting the price tag on non-removable parts. They saw me switch the Velveeta cheese cover with a Great Value one.
I wish we could still do this but everything is barcoded now. It's still possible to pay the cheap banana price for all your produce needs at self checkout. Just make sure to cut the sound off when ringing up your kiwis so the woman doesn't say 'put your BANANAS in the bag'.
I used to work in retail mgt. for years, there is no way this place was making less than 1% profit on the products they sold. A store/chain like that would fold within a year if they were basically making 0 profit on their sales.
That’s what they want people to think
Yeah I find that hard to believe too
Well, A&P doesn't exist anymore so uh yeah
@@DerangedHermit that figures lol
That’s the first thing i thought too. If this is true how the hell they stay in business for more than a year.
Hi Im Troy McClure, you may remember me from such training videos as "pizza's great in eighth's" and "let the knife do the work"
For the teens and young adults looking for their first job, NEVER consider working a grocery store on intent to making it a career. It's an ok job to your foot in the door just for work experience, but only use it as a temporary income source while you pursue an actual career via college, trading school, etc. I've worked for Jewel Osco for 4 1/2 years as a grocery clerk and it was the biggest waste of 4 years I've ever spent. They barely give you raises no matter how hard you work, you start at minimum or in a lot of cases below minimum wage, you get treated like a child, and you don't move up in the ladder because they want to keep you in that position for as long as possible. I wasted 3 of my 4 years working for Jewel Osco trying to get promoted to dairy manager only to get passed up by someone who's never worked in the store before. Even when the old dairy manager recommended me to take his place as he was retiring, I was passed up by one of the store manager's corporate buddies.
Grocery retail is a stepping stone, nothing more.
ElectabuzzKing - Depends on the company you work for.
I would have to agree I've been working at Stop and Shop for 4 years and for a whole year I've been trying to get a slightly better position from getting carts to frozen foods(just to get out of the heat and back breaking work no pay increase). The wages are 30 cents higher than minimum wage but $10.90 really isn't enough especially in my state. The only good thing about S&S is they have pretty generous vacation time. And I've had managers bully me by saying I took an hour break instead of a 15 minute break which is complete bullshit I invite them the look at the security cameras!
@@alexsaab8089 atleast you get breaks,my store managers only "recommend" 30 min lunch.even if the law says two 15 min breaks and 30 min to hour lunch.
Also trust me,you don't want to be dairy manager,I seen no more then 4 employees quit that position in less then 2 to 3 weeks.
Frozen is a pain if there's only two guys on schedule
When I was 17 I worked at Kroger for 6 months. I quit the same month I graduated. I was so shocked to see how many people had been working there longer than I’d been alive ...and still a checker. It’s as if they were stuck and just didn’t think there was anything else out there for them. Very depressing.
@@cherrelle9964 yup someone just retired at my store. After working there for 42 years!
The A & P came to Lancaster, Ohio and made my grandpa (who owned a corner grocery store) an offer: Come work for us or we will put you out of business in 6 months. He told them to shove their job where the sun don't shine. He closed his store 6 months later. That was the end of the family's fortune. Thanks A & P.
homefrontforge - Why did they run him out of business?
That’s a horrible thing to happen to any family business but I would blame his previous customers more than A&P.
roxcyn because capitalism.
What job position did they offer him?
@@RADIUMGLASS Probably knob polisher. That's what those big, insensitive corporations do.
I blame the damn Pizza Hut video for throwing me into this training hole.
The scene with the falling pickles always gets me.
I don‘t know why.
"Many of these occurrences do happen... the others we made up for fun."
Here it is, 2022 and SHRINK still happens. People really don't realize how much damage & losses of products still continues even to this day!
"If you're unsure about a customer, simply ask Yurf."
This is less than honest.
We can thank OCB for making ironically watching 90s training videos something we all come here to do.
OCB ?
Idk why I'm watching this at 220am for 😭😆
ditto .... I realize how things were, I was 22 sounds crazy, but I miss those times... I was naive
This has so much YTP potential
This is still relevant today. Better than other modern training videos I've seen.
Wow amazing video.
I just got off work at my grocery store at 10:30 🕥 at night and here I’m watching this! 🙂
Lol me too... I've been into training videos lately, and i can't help but watch the grocery store ones too even tho I work at one.
Such dedication.
Robert Moore You’re learning some valuable lessons here.
This training video is my personal favorite.
Have you tried the lasagna? It's my favorite.
9:50 "Where's your public bathroom?" "Back here in the stock room. Go through these doors, take a right, go up a flight of stairs and the bathrooms should be at the end of the hall after the breakroom."
“They will be HAPPY to help you correct the mistake.”
Are you SURE about that? 😏

Pam: Hey cuz, sorry, we're relatives and it's only us 3 at working the tills until 8pm. Would you mind coming back in about 6 hours?
then you get a manager to come up and ring them out
Whoops sorry, that manager now considers you a friend
@@zachreese6540 Managers have no friends.
I live in a town of about 2,500 people. If that was the policy at the local grocery, nobody would ever be checked out again.
If I knew someone was shop lifting I would ask the customer if they needed a basket to carry their items.
Well who hasn't swiped a carton of Newports, and stuffed it under their acid wash jacket?
When I worked at a supermarket in the 90s we were so strict about shop lifting. We would check customers bags at the checkout and all staff had their bags checked when leaving. Now nobody really checks and when they do I feel offended.
Someone probably made off with some Tang
That's because they're watching you like a hawk from cameras placed every three feet throughout the store. We used to steal all the time and managers knew it but couldn't prove it.

I'm so bored out of my mind and internet addiction that I bing watch 90s training videos, send help
This video is my childhood
Back in the day before cameras were placed every two feet and you could supplement your minimum wage with "perks".
I miss video styles and professionalism like this.
I'm supposed to be sleeping because I have to wake up early to catch a flight..........BUT I am too busy watching old training vids from decades gone by, oops! It looked like the 80s to me, so I was surprised to see it's from 1992, I was already born haha!
Before this one, I watched a training vid from the 60s. Their cash registers were like, completely manual...no auto scanner, you had to ring the amount and product category yourself, and you made change using nothing but your head -- I think the till did give you the total, though ;) People could cash cheques with the cashier to pay apparently (this vid they could too)? Apart from the cheques everything seemed to be in cash too, no cards.
Fascinating, how something so mundane as grocery store checkouts has changed so much, even between 1992 and now!
I start with that front line cash register video then work my way up to these other recommended videos.
Well 1992 was only acouple years after the 80s so not much has changed between that time..
That is a good point-you can see in the part where they show the checkout lanes that there are no credit/debit kiosks for people to pay using credit or debit. It was either cash or check in 92. The credit/debit cards came like 2-3 years later.
Your efforts with regard to loss prevention fit right in with our team concept.
Shoplifting ideas from back in the day...
God knows how many boxes of cereal I sliced with a box cutter when I worked at my local supermarket in the early 90s in Baltimore (Santoni's on Lombard st)
I worked at Walmart in the 90s. Our store manager would take expired soda and try to sell it to the employees in the break room, not telling anyone they were expired. 😒
“Refigeration.” I can’t unhear it.
I'm glad now I can make a valuable contribution to prevent shrink in my own life.
like how?
Profit is less than a penny on the dollar? I call bullshit. If that's true, it sounds like A&P needs a better distributor or else they'll go bankr... oh wait.
I wonder how much shrink I contributed when I worked at a grocery store during High School and College. LOL!!
One of the oldest grocery companies out there and sadly they fell by the wayside some years ago.
The shrink got ‘em
How to instantly date your video: tang
“Refigeration” lmao
92 was an era of A&P bottom fishing. Throwing store programs out and then abandon. Sad days for A&P.
I used to steal cigarettes from Big Star grocery store when i was younger. The cigarette shelf was up front and I would walk by, grab two packs, walk through the store and pocket one pack. Then, I would bring the other pack back to the shelf so they would see me putting them back, only thinking I got one pack.
This actually worked for quite some time until a new manager started. This bastard caught me the first time i stole with him there. I did it all the same. I took two packs, walked through the store, but on this day I got spooked. That new manager was just watching me too close. So, I put both packs down on an isle and started to leave. He came charging up with both packs i had put on a shelf. He said, you come in here to steal again you're going to jail.
But he was OK with the underage smoking part?
Pathetic. Smh

I'm watching this because my local grocery store is self scan only, need to learn how to be a cashier🤣
Why did I just watch this? 😂
Entertainment?
Because marijuana is legal now
I'm asking myself that now and then I remember that it's 2020 and what else is there to do 😂
Think to prevent shrink - I thought this was a medical video. The search continues.
I have been fighting (Shrink) every since l got out of the pool..
I don’t know why I find this entertaining but I do.
Jeeze! Less than 1% profit margin?! Note to self: never own a grocery store!
It's closer to 2-3% for the giants.
The money is in the volume.
As stated below, it’s all in the volume, good stores can do very very very well.
Is this true?? Even in 2020? That little margin
its not true.
This is pretty interesting to be honest.
On an normal 8 hour shift in my store; i always see atleast
A broken case of Soda from delivery
A damage box of cereal from mishandling
A broken bottle of alcohol from accidents
A price reduction due to an outdated price tag
Overstocking shelf space reducing the amount of a potential more popular item
Poor rotation creating more product disposal
Theft on the hourly.
And yet, really... My company doesn't really care because these things are inevitable on a very busy schedule. Just a way the system works...
Only thing we're hugely discouraged on doing is stealing internally.
These training videos would even be good in today's world. In many stores I walk in now, they look like their back storage rooms, no space to walk or anything. It's absolutely shameful! Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.
I was a stock boy at Waldbaum’s (NY) supermarket in 1995. This brings back memories, thanks for posting
Waldbaums! Part of the A&P family. Come share our values!
Waldbaum's man I haven't heard that name in a long time, used to have one in the town next to me.
a shop here used to tape up boxes they'd cut, nothing like cracking open a muesli bar where the wrapper has been taped together
I wonder what these people are doing now. This is the same guy from the other grocery store training video!
Prevent shrinkage. "I was in the pool!"
The music, the transitions, the people really did scream the 1990s Just like how i remember it.
What s throwback, I rember this store as a child. Also it was just simpler times then.
Ah yes, Eccentric Severe Tumors is back
While all of this is pretty funny, there is a certain bit of it that gives me anxiety. It reminds me of starting to work at a job that I knew was dead-end. I remember watching the films in orientation and thinking, even then, that they were cheesy. Everyone in the room did.
yep...Im 73, but totally agree.
As a former retail grocery employee for 46 years, I can say that net profit margins are definitely very small. Loss prevention takes on many different roles! One of the most important areas is in diligence regarding billing of goods. Incorrect charges that go undiscovered is a HUGE reason for loss of profits.
These are not only vendor errors, but internal company errors in billing items to the individual stores. We were tasked to review our bills daily to check for over charges by the warehouses.
Ewwww they took chicken that had been sitting out at room temperature on the shelf and put it back in the refrigerated area? Salmonella anyone?
You have only have 30 minutes before needing to return it to refrigeration
That chicken has a family too.
The salmonella makes it taste better
It was the 90s. Salmonella didn't exist back then.
