I noticed this sign at the 15th Ave QFC the other night. It was hanging in space, cold and lonely.
“Well say, greengrocerman, I have $10! This sounds like my kind of bargain! Now tell me, what items can I purchase to take advantage of this terrific offer?”
“Ten. You can get ten.”
“Ten! Yes, you certainly have sold me on the number of items, and the convenient price, which is also ten. But what am I purchasing? Ten of what?”
“Ten items. For $10.”
“What items?”
“Ten.”
“You can’t just say ‘ten.'”
“For $10.”
“Ten what!? Can I get ten large hams? Five salmons and five lemons? Seven ears of corn and two unattended toddlers and one Duraflame log? TEN WHAT?”
“Ten for $10. You can mix. Or match.”
“I am going to kill you, greengrocerman.”
“Fair enough.”
Whenever I buy bargains en masse like that, 7 of the 10 end up rotting in the vegetable drawer of my freezer.
We need sales for singles….
Then what happened??
Really, retailers are getting so desperate, that this sign could apply to any material good at this point.
Lindy West, more like Lindy Best.
What about 10 for 10 don’t you understand?
@2 Then she killed him.
Lindy,
That post was a perfect ten.
Stop thinking about food, Lindy.
Ten dimes, ten times.

Is this the greengrocer with the carrot up his ass?
The 15th Ave QFC is the greatest QFC in town– the checkers are nice, and the cute guy in the meats department always gives me free samples of whatever he’s making.
Wait. That came out wrong.
Is this your first trip to a supermarket. You can either look at the flyer published on Wednesdays in the paper (they have many extra copies available when you walk into the store) or you can wander around aisle by aisle looking for the “10 for $10” signs. For instance, for $10 you can get two giant Hershey Bars, three boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese, two boxes of Fiddle Faddle, and three Budget Gourmet frozen dinners. Or whatever. mix and Match. It’s fun!
Well if it is the same “greengrocer” that wrote Dan Savage yesterday, I am guessing that it’s either carrots or cucumbers that are included in the sale.
Is this the QFC on 15th near Whitman Middle School and Dick’s or the one off 15th in Interbay? Or another 15th I don’t know about?
All QFCs.
@16, the former.
The QFC on 15th is the best QFC, for sure. The gentlemen of the meat department are both charming and informative, and I must give a shout out to the produce guys as well, ’cause they do a great job.
At check out, things are a bit wilder, as we have several strong personalities at work, but it’s usually a good experience.
@10: It’s precious that you think I went to Bellevue High School. You could find out the real story by asking me on Thursday, but you won’t because you’re a fucking coward. Too bad.
Why is my penis commenting on Slog? I need to keep better track of that guy. *zip*
That Greg guy is a total dick!
Buy 10 pomegranetes.
They usually go for way more than $2 each and if you have friends, they won’t go bad before you eat them.
@19 LOL! Yes the cashiers! It’s true.
