Expired cream? Is she trying to poison you? Usually, when I flirt with men (not that I do now, being in a relationship and all), if I were giving them food, I'd give them good food. However, maybe this girl does like you. How do you feel about her? Do you want to ask her out?

She might like you. Expired cream can still be fine, we waste much and she can't get in trouble for giving what will be tossed. She may be kind to all----banter back...sounds like a nice experience anyway, going to the grocer, a nice lift to the day

Having worked in a couple of grocery stores, I can tell you that I had my favorite regular customers. When one of them would come in, it would be one of the best parts of my work day. I may have seemed too happy to see them, or overly helpful when they were in, by contrast with how I treated most customers. Most of them were neutral or they got on my nerves. Sometimes favorite customers were even passed on, as workers came and went and asked the new person to make sure they continued to be treated well. Then again, you never know. Maybe you could ask her what she likes to do when she is away from work.

After my experience yesterday, I would just say, be careful. I had just left the market, and a couple of guys were out enjoying the sunshine. One said hi, I responded. He goes, oh you don't remember me? I'm like, should I? He goes, I gave you my cans once, across the street. I'm like, I don't think so, I don't turn in my own cans! So apparently I give off a homeless vibe. That's encouraging.

It feels wonderful to be desired and wanted. Unexpected flirtation is always a nice surprise. If your taken, enjoy it as a compliment. Just be careful if it continues. You don't want to mislead her into thinking you might be interested in return and continuing to take free items might give her that impression. And you don't want or use her infatuation just to get free stuff either.

Try respond as if your girlfriend was watching when the flirtation happens.
Thanks for this!

I agree. It is one thing with expired cereals - those really do keep for much longer than the expiration date. Cream should be fresh.

At some point when I had no money I received food from our city's community center. The center got regular deliveries from local grocery stores: food that were officially past the expiration date but in reality still good.

That is how I know what should be fresh and what can be consumed years past the expiration date.

I thought dairy had a sell by date, and was okay to use for another week. But I'm like jerry seinfeld, I'm extremely intolerant of dairy . Well except for ice cream.

Saw this just before refilling my cereal bowl and decided to check. All of my liquid dairy products (half and half, heavy cream, and milk) were sell by. Sticks of butter were use by and my spreadable butter was best by. And because I am in Wisconsin, that is the definitive answer
Thanks for this!

I had an ECG done and the nurse pressed her leg around my arm even though she could have avoided it. She also had to shave my chest.

Nurse likes me?

Perhaps, but probably not the way you are thinking. It could just be the way she performs the procedure. I do nice things like give candy and buy the occasional meal for for people... Sure, I like them as humans, but I'm not "interested" in them... I'm just trying to be a thoughtful person. Sometimes I can get close to people and even touch them, even when it COULD be avoided, but it makes my job go more efficiently to pay less attention to the avoidance and more attention to the task at hand (unless I sense the other person may be uncomfortable or reading way too much into things). I think the other relationship you've hinted at on P.C. may be clouding your judgement. Either way, good luck. Just be careful.
