I'm impressed that they managed to lock up a rich person for a crime. I'm not going to bother reading the article because I just don't care, but calling her is socialite implies to me that she's old money. I'm not sure whether old money or new money is worse, but both are rich and #eatherich
Cynic in me assumes the victims’ family is richer.
westlake village ain't the barrio, for sure
I'm just going to start referring to myself as a socialite. Yeah, I'm pretty much a shut-in who only hangs out with his wife and kid, and yeah, I manage a produce section at a grocery store for a living and only pull about 49k gross, but it sure sounds distinguished, eh?
workers are always preferable to leeches. You do yourself a disfavor by pretending to be haute bourgeoisie.
Got any horror stories or tips as an insider?
Wash your produce to the best of your ability. Old ladies (and occasional men) believe it's their inherent right to lick their fingers every time they go to open a bag, and then pick through all the produce for the one they like most. Also, Cosmic Crisp is the best apple available.
It really is a great apple! I've recently tried one for the first time. I can definitely recommend!
Also the licky fingers thing doesn't bother me nearly as much as the people who dig their long, dirty fingernails into produce, and sometimes I don't notice until I've already brought it home.. Blehhh!
The worst for us is stonefruit season. Every last person believes they have to squeeze all of the peaches and nectarines for ripeness, and within a few hours the entire display is full of deep bruises and fingerprints. They'll do it even if they're buying a massive bag, as if none of it can be expected to ripen over the coming days. We wind up throwing so much out due to excessive squeezing that it's kind of disgusting.
I'm pleased that they found one with acceptable give, but they've destroyed three others in the process.
always squeeze the melons. try before you buy
Every once in a while they sacrifice one to show us things are "fair". She probably wasn't super rich either.
The rich are surprisingly onboard with imprisoning their wives over 40.
True
This one was too cut and dry and with extreme negligence, plus it involved young children.
