cellioWe're having a bunch of people over on Saturday, so I placed an order from the hot-foods section of the kosher market. I picked it up tonight, and the amount of chicken (in sealed pans) seemed light. So I asked -- this is a dozen breasts? Yes. I was dubious about the weight, so even though it hadn't been in the plans, I picked up a bag of frozen buffalo drummies to supplement.
When I got home, I found there were seven breasts. I called them to ask about it, figuring they forgot to give me a pan. (There was other stuff in the order, not just this one pan, so it could have happened.) No, they said, they gave me all the breasts they had; they didn't have a dozen.
You know, when I picked up the order would have been a fine time to mention that oh, we ran out, so do you want something else to supplement? (Or even, do you want something else instead?) Failing that clue, responding correctly to my direct question would have been a good idea.
In this case I'll be fine because I was suspicious and got something else on my own, but people often place larger orders where they just hand you a box. If you don't dig through that box in the store, you might not even notice enough to be suspicious until it was too late. I will certainly inspect boxes I get from them while still in the store, in the future. And I'll open sealed pans when I'm suspicious, too.
