After reading the "return two-month-old salmon" article I was just mad. What an egoistic, thoughtless, rich snob. It is soooo great to have a house here and an apartment there and still be proud of treating hard working poor people like trash, and "returning" x month old spoiled and rotten items. I am sure this "lady" never had to work as a frightened and exhausted assistant of assistant at the return point. Always knowing a single mad customer may cost your job (and it DID cost one of my jobs, when a crazy customer started accusing me of having made xxx mistakes, I was fired, and only eventually found out afterwards that nothing of this was true).
Thank you very much greedy rich lady and all you relatives and alikes, who are "now learning her ways". It is very nice to know idiots like you land in the New York Times, while I land on the street. And the New York Times itself knows well why this article does not have any "comments" enabled.
Sorry Serious Eats, nothing against your blog or this New York Times links here...Just got really furious about the blindness of some people :(
