    If you’re buying shrimp at Walmart, you kinda deserve what’s coming to you.

        You’re right, I do honestly agree with you.

        Perhaps better said would be if you’re buying shrimp from Walmart, don’t be surprised at what happens.

        I 100% mean this as an indictment of Walmart.

      In some areas, Walmart is the only option.

          It’s one of the cheaper forms of protein. One of those frozen bags cost me $5 and I split it over two meals. The only cheaper option is chicken drumsticks or canned chicken and I’m sick of those.

            From your comment, yes. It added nothing to the discussion.

        there’s a lot of shit that happens to that food that employees aren’t paid enough to care about.

        seriously, be way more discriminating about fish

        And if there are no other grocery stores in the area that sell shrimp at a similar price point?

          A reasonable person would choose not to buy shrimp. Perhaps it’s at the price point because of its quality.
