Hey now, lighten up. Think of his poor wife. I've had a few balsamic vinegars that were so good they should have been illegal.

I just bought a Balsamic vinegar today and did NOT have to sign a restricted access form. Granted I bought a different brand than the OP and from a different grocer (Dominicks).

Thank you for listening to my vinegar buying experience.

why would a regular worker just suddenly want check for vinegar though? unless they just randomly want to fuck with people.

I can tell you as a former worker of food stores and so forth that the people who work these shifts just want to get in and get out. They're not interested in wasting people's time with elaborate hoaxes, in fact a lot of people get busted for not thoroughly checking someone's ID if the consumer wants to buy an alcoholic beverage.

If they don't even want to check for stuff they have to I seriously doubt they'd even have the energy to think up some kind of fraud scheme.


So yea, Dave is full of shit. And I am laughing my ass off.

280 posts, do I have to read all of it to catch up? I kinda drifted after the first batch.
Someone cliff notes for me UNLESS it's too good to be cliffed, then let me know. Thanks.

vinegar is kinda like expired wine. so, you are buying alcohol, just... really old one.
But the thing about alcohol is that when it expires the alcohol content disappears. So really, you're just buying sour water.

Can those of us in extension take the same short cut and recommend the higher (unregistered) concentrations, or in fact give people lists of distributors? The answer, at least in Washington State, is NO. There is a legal fine point buried in here. If any material claims to kill pests (weeds) it becomes a pesticide, no matter who does the “claiming.
Hang on a minute...so if I claim to be a explosives expert and claim that forks are an invaluable part of C4, does that mean that you now have to sign off for cutlery?

This thread is epic, and any thread making Dave look like the looney buffoon that he is requires that I make a post.
