No One Gets Out of Here Without a Bird. . .
Laura and I returned to the scene of the crime and this time we meant business. . . and I wasn't just talking turkey!
Our friendly customer service friend eagerly greeted us at the desk - after a brief wait and the attending of numerous other customers. We finished the remainder of our paper work and were whisked off to the meat department.
Surprise! The same meat man was busy working. Strangely, he was helping another senora and kept weighing turkey after turkey after turkey but no one was satisfied. Hmmmm.......
The answer: The deal rewards you with a turkey of 6 kilograms. He only had turkeys of 4 kilograms and 9 kilograms (and we weren't going to be shortchanged nor did we plan to pay more). We held firm. We pleaded our case. And we explained that in order to celebrate Thanksgiving on Sunday (already two days late) we needed at least one day to thaw this bird. The senora eagerly agreed - she understood our pain and was surprised that we hadn't already celebrated.
Miraculously, a 6.6 kilogram turkey appeared: the bonus, beyond the .6 extra kilograms, was that it was already marinated!
We walked out winners that night! Gooble! Gooble!
