What's even more classy is that the thrift store slapped a price tag on it and set it out before checking the basket.

Goodwill doesn't clean or wash anything. Which is why the first thing you do when you bring something home from that place is give it a good scrubbing.

Oh it's a horror show. They claim they do, but I've gone there enough to know that's not true at all. The employees certainly don't get paid enough to give a shit.

I wouldn't buy any cloth furniture, pillows, bed frames, stuffed animals, etc. there because of the fear of having hitch hiking bed bugs or fleas.

Not getting paid enough to give a shit is putting it nicely https://www.goodwill.org/about-the-special-minimum-wage-certificate/

Oh jfc, I wish I knew this earlier, lol

My first thought as well! Most of the thrifts around here either have a special sticker indicating they've tested the electrics, or at least an extra mark on the tag.

The fact that they're not like rotting or decayed looking is a little bit disturbing.

Air fryers dehydrate things well, leaving less moisture to support bacteria that would make it rot.

That's actually why that sealed McDonald's meal didn't rot. Leave food out like that and it dries up, thus won't rot.

Similar thing is why having an open garbage can stink far less than a garbage with a lid. The lid traps moisture, which means it can support more life that creates more stink that gets past the lid than the open one has in total because it's able to dry.

I feel like the lighting on the pizza rolls is a bit off myself, but maybe it’s me.

There’s also a weird brown blur toward the bottom of the container.

I go into thrift stores with pockets full of pizza rolls just to add then in places they deserve to be.

Why are you complaining you get a bonus meal

free pizza pockets with the air fryer
