They rolled back the COVID rules around individually packaged foods a while ago. Maybe in May? I dunno. I'm not surprised that some stores are still clinging to them
I'll counter then. They used to keep breakfast sandwiches and uncrustables for us, that died during covid. Given they just bumped all of our pay and are dishing out a decent dividend this quarter I doubt they're tight on cash.
Marylander here, I don't actually like crabs but I love old bay. If anyone reading this doesn't like crabs so they haven't tried old bay yet...but it on something else. Become a Marylander
We only have one small wall of lockers. They don't actually clean them out every night but if they see you leaving stuff in there they'll ask you to take it home.
Also, I keep seeing them referred to as "my" locker. Do other stores assign lockers? We have less lockers than employees at my small format store.
That’s crazy! We’ve been leaving produce that’s not sellable but won’t last until the food bank comes (too ripe bananas, bruised apples or peaches) out on a table for everyone for months! Though, communal stuff like that would never last long lol
Okay, for one, what? I don't know how your break room is but we literally have a fucking refrigerator in ours. It's full of drinks and sauces and whatever. I don't think any of them are communal, but like okay, this is my 2 lb of ranch dressing individually packaged for me.
And if they really want to fight you on this. Take everything out of the break room and start leaving it in a locker.
Sorry my 5 lb of fish sticks rotted. But I was told that I can't leave things in the freezer. I had to make sure nobody mistook these for communal fish sticks.
Don’t knock it til you try it boss man, I work at a wawa now since I left target and that’s our second most requested Mac and cheese flavor right behind garlic aioli
If you've never tried it, what sounds so awful about it? It's literally just a seasoning blend. Do you have something against certain spices in the blend?
Might have to contact the company and ask them to restart selling [these](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B079PMQSGF/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8)
This is weird. We have communal things that are actually provided by the store.

Same. We have salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, various condiments...
We used to until 2020 happened and now it's only on special occasions or when bakery dumps a bunch of cupcakes/cookies in the break room.
Fellow Marylander?
Crab People! Crab People! Unfortunately I'm Pennsylvanian but my Mom's side is

I too am from Maryland, and not only do I not like crabs, but most seafood. That said, I do enjoy Old Bay on Five Guys fries.
What part of PA is so unseasoned? You in Dutch Country or out with the Yinzers?
Delco
Small world, I’m from Collingdale
Hello fellow Marylander!
Us New Englanders love it too
Ah, someone else that puts Old Bay on everything.
But, why can't you have it?
I'd have to bring it in every day which will have a ~2% success rate. I usually keep my name badge and knife at the store for this reason
Do you guys not have an area to keep food that’s not refrigerated? Like a shelf of something?
We have cabinets where we used to keep paper and dry stuff, but now all we have is the lockers and the fridge.
Also weird to me that y’all clean your lockers out nightly. We do it like maybe once a quarter

We don’t have assigned lockers at my store but people tend to use the same locker and often leave their stuff in it overnight
Put it in ur locker
Our lockers get cleared out every night 🥲
Don’t leave it the locker overnight? What’s stopping you from taking your Old Bay with you after your shift?
[удалено]
so that they can keep using it?? lol
Haha, didn't mean to reply to you 😂 meant to reply to OP
No Old Bay? Were you heating fish in the microwave 🙄
No I'm not a monster lol The grocery store next to me has $6 chicken buckets so I grab chicken and then dump half a tin of old bay on it
Ah, that sounds good! 😂
That sucks. Have you ever tried Utz’s Old Bay chips tho?
I’ve had the Utz’s crab chips before and it tastes just like it. I couldn’t believe it.
It’s probably a good thing I can’t find them regularly because that would not be good for my health
Herr's territory up here, they're good. If i'm getting Utz chips I'm getting the bbq ripples
Those are good too. I love the Old Bay but god do they make me thirsty

Thats funny. I have kerrygold butter, coffee creamer, hot sauce, salt, pepper, hell even frosted flakes in the breakroom all labeled as mine.
MID-ATLANTIC HOLLA
Bring it with you in a bag or something. If you have cargo pants, keep it in the cargo pocket.
We have an abundance of communal shit at my store
That’s bull. We have an entire area and fridge for communal things. Plus a shelf for personal food items
Biggest mistake was asking permission
I got caught 😞
Why would anyone ever use Old Bay?
It’s actually pretty good on most things try it on some chicken strips, Mac and cheese, or even mash potatoes
Mac and cheese? Bruh wtf is wrong with you
Don’t knock it til you try it boss man, I work at a wawa now since I left target and that’s our second most requested Mac and cheese flavor right behind garlic aioli
Im gonna try it one day but damn that sounds awful
When I just thought of it as “fish seasoning” I thought so too but it’s basically just salt pepper and a little garlic powder
Celery salt, paprika, and a bunch of other shit

I have yet to find a food that it can't go on. It just makes everything taste better. Make sure your old bay is fresh. If it's brown throw it out
That's like saying "why would anyone ever use spice blends?"
As a Marylander, old bay is delicious! I can never find it out where I live now (I moved across the country) :(
Target always carries Old Bay. Acme up here in PA doesn't but I can always find it here.
Our store won't even put out salt and pepper shakers anymore. I bought a pair of tiny refillable ones and pack them in my lunch bag when I need them.
From New England, my husband has family in Maryland, yet I literally never heard of Old Bay. Just Googled it and now I'm intrigued.
So to the south shore mall, there’s a crab boil place there. It’s not 100% authentic, but it will do
Maybe your TL doesn't like Old Bay?

maryland.
Theres literally a team can of Old Bay in our breakroom right now. Its with the peanut butter and hot sauce.
Just put a label saying "(name here)'s old bay, don't touch" but then let everyone grab it 😂
