• When buying a chicken, pay attention to the use-by date and look for packages that don't have an excess of red juices in the tray.
• Place the unwrapped package in a dish with sides to keep juices from contacting other food. Refrigerate immediately at 40 degrees or below for up to 3 days before using, as long as the time fits within the use-by date.
• The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends disinfecting cutting surfaces that have been in contact with raw chicken with a solution of 1 teaspoon liquid bleach per quart of water. Pour the bleach solution over the surface and let it stand for about 5 minutes. Then rinse and wash with hot sudsy water. Pat dry with fresh paper towels.
• Cutting surfaces should be completely dry before storing.
• It's not safe to partially cook a chicken and finish it at a later time. If the chicken needs to be cooked in advance, reheat it in a low oven or microwave.
• Cool and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
• Cooked chicken should be eaten within 4 days, or it can be frozen up to 3 months for best quality.

Because I am an honest person, I notified the self-checkout clerk/person that there seemed to be a problem. However, instead of listening to me, she proceeded to make assumptions that I was just having trouble with this large item and I was just a customer needing help 'bagging' the blinds!
She proceeds to begin to instruct me (in a very condescending manner, I might add) on how to do so. Irritated at this point that I'm trying to be considerate of the potential error and is obviously NOT paying attention I finally stated “NO, I don’t need help bagging. This rang up for one cent. Do you want me to pay one cent or are you going to help me with the correct price?” More drama ensued, and to make a long story short, I paid one cent!
So I saved us $99.99, woo-hoo!! Although an exhausting experience, I guess it eventually does pay to be honest!"
Way to go! Thanks, AMC for sharing your story - I just love it when "justice" prevails!
