When I go shopping I try to make every cent count, which means I switch out bad eggs in the carton for good ones. I&#8217;ve also been doing this with tomatoes lately. However, the last time I went shopping another customer pulled up beside me, and told me that what I was doing was illegal. He said that if I was caught by the store I&#8217;d have the police called on me. As far as I know everyone in my family has done this as long as they can remember. Is it really against the law to make sure you&#8217;re not getting any bad products in your carton?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zachery says when he goes to buy a dozen eggs, he wants to make sure he&#8217;s not paying for any bad ones, so he opens the cartons and switches them out.
