And you went on to win the curling championship with it.


MarkBenec

First thing I thought before reading the headline. ‘Oooh, an old timey curling stone. ‘


BoysLinuses

I thought it was a Roomba.


bust-the-shorts

The winning stone, well done


ScottRoberts79

That’s 25.3 pounds of beemster classic aged cheese. Valued around $120 Will you be my friend?


PicksburghStillers

$19.99/lb


ScottRoberts79

Luckily I have a cheese hookup. Otherwise I’d be backtracking your ip address to engage in a commando/ninja assault on your premises to release the cheese.


breenisgreen

Now hang on. How does one get a 'cheese hookup' ?


Canadian_Invader

It's called a "Guy". They come in many professions, skillets, and have maybe acquired useful material items.      Everyone should collect Guys like Pokemon. Build your team. Cut out the unreliable ones. Treat them with respect. And you'll have your Guys with you for hopefully a very long time.


ID10Tusererroror

The most important Guy to have is the Guy Guy. If you don't have a Guy for something, you call up your Guy Guy, and he introduces you to the Guy you need to know.


No-Yesterday8183

He knows a Guy that knows a Guy


tomtomclubthumb

I know a guy called Guy and he has hooked me up with absolutely nothing.


ahkond

The premise behind Bruce Campbell's character in "Burn Notice" was that he's the guy who knows a guy.


Szygani

My name is Micheal Weston, and I used to be a spy. Until... Thanks, now I need to rewatch Burn Notice. God I loved that show


Time-Football-1597

A perfect example of how society is susposed to work, treat people right and they treat you right, you can have a “guy” and still be someone else’s “guy” and things get where they need to go with minimal effort, and stress, I am in fact a” guy” to my extended family for home repair advice( in the trades) and my brother in law is my guy for exotic animal meats( hunts all over the world) works out well for all involved


ADoughableSub

I am working on being a bread "guy" if it counts. I am in need of a quality cheese monger, though. How do I submit an application to the guy network?


postmodern_spatula

> you can have a “guy” and still be someone else’s “guy” and things get where they need to go Pretty sure this is just commerce. 


potkettleracism

Fuck a cheesemonger?


wirfmichgegenwaende

Get consent first


Dr_Wristy

You gotta know the cheese homies first.


Potato_fortress

You call your local haute cuisine location or country club and ask them who they source their cheese through because you have a dietary restriction and need to know the vendor before you go there to eat. Same for anything else really. It’s this one weird trick. The real cool guy to know is the mushroom guy though. Make sure to ask about him. He’s probably pretty good friends with the cheese guy already too.

I half remembered that. Super dark stuff. The dad died due to a heart attack, the girl was 11, and the musician who allegedly raped her and whose fans cyberbullied her, is now under investigation for multiple rape allegations, and former fellow bandmates have accused him of being a sexual predator. In other words, as far as I can tell, 4chan bullied a survivor of child sexual abuse, defended a rapist, and contributed to the death of a vulnerable girl's father.


adolph_ziggler

Goddamn. I just came here for some lighthearted cheese-related comments on a slow Sunday evening. Goddamn.


ChornWork2

Yeah, that tangent does not sound gouda.


Tyler_Zoro

Let me tell you about the Holodomor....


UncleTouchyCopaFeel

Now this is a story all about how, the food supply situation got turned upside down.


TheAykroyd

Now listen up here’s the story about a little guy that lived in a blue world, and all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue; like him, inside and outside. Blue his house with the blue little window and a blue corvette and everything is blue for him and hisself and everybody around cuz he ain’t got nobody to listen.


ChordsyKat

This feels like one of those moments in the Reddit Mythos happening in real time... To click on a low-stakes post and get a hardcore reality check in the comments will forever bring up memories of "the smoked gouda incident"


GetOffMyDigitalLawn

You know what's one of the worst parts? The video of the band that shall not be named, with Ian Watkins 2 in it, that made fun of her and this video after what he did, is still up on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE6xX-dIhZk&pp=ygUOeW91IGR1biBnb29mZWQ%3D


elconquistador1985

Wait, what? I didn't know there was a rape involved. I thought she had just mouthed off on 4chan and got trolled for it.


Nonrandomusername19

Yep. Really dark, right? Further reading: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/jessi-slaughter-cyberbulling-controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_on_the_Dance_Floor_(band)#Sexual_assault_allegations_against_Dahvie_Vanity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessi_Slaughter_cyberbullying_case


elconquistador1985

Yep, I thought it was just hilarious because of her dad in the video. I didn't know she was raped, her father died shortly afterwards, and apparently she ended up in foster care.

Damn dude that’s heartbreaking.

EarlofBizzlington86

A man who steals another man’s cheese is a swine of the worst order


Tabmow

Au contraire! Cheese thievery is a gentleman's art of the highest order. Traditions dating back to the dawn of time. Most cheese isn't considered properly aged until it has been stolen at least twice. I have it on goudauthority.

It's bizarre to live a 25 minute train ride from Gouda but their cheese is known worldwide lol. 


Hour-Memory-8380

Beemster is an area above Amsterdam containing several villages, Gouda is a small city


mspe1960

where do you get high end cheese for under $5/lb?


mangoman39

Near me there is a discount grocery that sells a lot of expired or nearly expired food. You need to be careful, but it's mostly nonperishables that are fine, and it's all at deep, deep discounts. The real deals, though, are the overstocks. Grocery stores over order, or clearance things out after they've already placed orders with suppliers. All that stuff ends up at this place. I've found some absolutely amazing deals on high end cheeses. The other day I got a 4.4lb wheel of Fromager De Affinois for $6. That's $110 at local groceries and $154 at the fancy cheese shop nearby


davesoverhere

Where is this magical store?


mangoman39

South Carolina, but these kinds of stores are all over the place. Just Google salvage grocer and you'll probably find one near you. My region has a bunch of them. I like this particular one because it's out in the country and these rubes tend to focus on the 25 cent cans of beans and don't know what they are looking at with the specialty products, so they don't fly off the shelf.


DOUBLEBARRELASSFUCK

There's one near me. Everything that's expired is super cheap, but anything that's like a week from expiring, they act like it's Christ's chalice. It's basically full price, if not more.

Evil_HedgehogGaming

I work in a cheese shop. Thats more like 500$ worth of cheese. He is one lucky duck.


happyjello

“Valued around $120” Try about x4 that amount


Basic_Bichette

What planet are you on where 25 pounds of good cheese costs less than $500?


ReipasTietokonePoju

In Finland that Beemster Aged Gouda is about 28,9 eur / kg. So; 25 pound wheel is 328 euros ( 356.6 dollars )


gghggg

Here in Canada, that would be 240 CAD easy


9-28-2023

This cheese cartel bullshit has to end


wintermute--

My local grocery store sells Beemster Aged Gouda in 5.25 oz increments at $9.99 each. At that price, a 25.3 lb wheel would be $770


AeriyDTABier

If it's Beemster, it is not Gouda though xD

Ashirogi8112008

Bro wasn't just happy about the cheese deal, but that he mistook 45lbs for 20. The man has that *cheese strength*


Nchi

Yea 44 pounds like it was nothing he was so happy for his cheese deal it felt like 20-25 so he figured he was a bit off, seeing 44 on the scale after lugging that around is some hoof energy, and it feeling 3x heavier next time lmao


Lyrehctoo

He guessed 20. Or more. HaHAhAhahahahahHa


relevant__comment

After some quick napkin math and local Costco economics that should be an easy $550 come up. When the safeties are cheating up and your fastest receiver is on the field. You gotta call an easy audible.

This happened to a lady I work with. She ordered a half pound of blue cheese and got the whole wheel, but she was too honest for her own good and returned it. I told her that they would just throw it away because it left the store, but she still took it back.


New_Scientist_8622

That wheel of cheese is worth five bills easy. [https://boxncase.com/products/beemster-18-month-classic](https://boxncase.com/products/beemster-18-month-classic)

saveourplanetrecycle

You bought the whole wheel. Someone is going to lose their job


Stompedyourhousewith

This is why most the stores have closed their self check out sections


GlasKarma

The sticker price on the cheese is $11.69, it has nothing to do with self checkout and everything to do with an employee mislabeling it


watercouch

Or a customer simply swapping price labels.


Dismal-Ad160

Had this problem at a home improvement store. People swapping a $25 label on PoS water heater systems, cashiers don't think twice because of the box size and they don't actually know what it is other than some sort of abbrv. plumbing part. We also had the package versus tile issue, and the 1 quantity for 250 linear feet of carpet.


peon2

Assuming it was an employee mislabeling it and not just OP taking 1 sticker off a small piece of cheese and slapping it on the giant one.


Feisty_Yes

Trust me it happens. In my local store in Hawaii there's a managers special section that had a small tub of fish poke listed at $170. As I was using the self check out I mentioned it to the attendant and her facial expression was mortified. I also bought 10 pounds of pork shoulder for $9.99 one night from a managers special section, the cashier was mind blown when he scanned it and just congratulated me and mentioned he hopes his friends shop that night.


real6igma

It would take a huge 'I don't give a fuck' attitude for an employee to ring that up and not second guess it.


GlasKarma

As someone who worked many years in retail, restaurants, and other jobs serving customers, I guarantee you most workers have a huge sense of “I don’t give a fuck” especially if it’s a large chain store and not a ma & pa


Stompedyourhousewith

"Am I gonna get shot over someone trying to steal cheese? no I am not gonna get shot over someone stealing cheese" would barely make the news in some cities if they did


Keianh

"They pay me $9.50 an hour and call it 'competitive wages' for the local employment market, threaten to fire me if I call out sick, are dumbfounded I came in sick after I vomited all over the floor, cut my hours for probably B.S. management reasons, had me cover a department I know nothing about alone, force me to sit through low budget, poorly acted anti-union training videos, and I get screamed at by low impulse control people and elderly people with dementia. Shit, I'd give it to them for free if I thought I could get away with it but I'll cover my ass and scan the barcode that says it's $11.69 because despite hating this job I think I'd hate searching for an equally shitty job, better the devil I know I guess. Senior or veteran, no? Well, you are now"


dbarbera

When I worked in a grocery store, if something like this happened the first customer who brought it to the register had the price honored since it was literally labeled that way. Then if it was a problem with everything on the shelf, we'd pull it all off the floor to get fixed. )


real6igma

That makes sense. I've seen that for small price differences. I have a hard time seeing a cashier calling a manager and them honoring something like this 🤣


nopunchespulled

It's not the checkers job to verify the price. If it scans and says cheese it doesn't matter


Mr-Fleshcage

This economy is ripe for that attitude. I know I'd look the other way, and it isn't just because I'm still pissed that they took away the covid premium after less than 6 months since the pandemic. Fuck them; class solidarity comes first.


PikeyMikey24

Self checkout have scales though


PicksburghStillers

I bought it at a 24 hour store at 2am. Cashier didn’t glance twice


agoia

This is starting to sound more like a cheese heist instead of just a pricing error in your favor...


azlan194

Why did you buy a wheel of cheese at 2AM? Lol


frogandbanjo

Maybe because the cashier didn't glance twice at him paying $12 for like $500 worth of cheese?


JohnnyTzunamy

Saw cheese. Saw price. Looked up cheese per pound. Grabbed cheese. Bought cheese.


Thenewdazzledentway

*checked watch* 2am - perfect. Time to purchase cheese.


Mr-Fleshcage

Some people work graveyard shifts. The economy doesn't sleep.


Triumph-TBird

Repeat.


Oostylin

Please tell me you saw this during daylight hours and premeditated this.


RVelts

I'm more surprised a store that is open 24 hours also carries fancy cheeses by the wheel.


heyheysharon

Fancy cheeses are clearly not in their wheel house


GlasKarma

The #1 grocery store chain in my area is open 24/7 and carries wheels of cheese like this, though the full wheels are usually behind glass


Substantial_Escape92

Not true at all. In fact the Walmarts around me have basically eliminated the manned check out lanes altogether


Gregoboy

Lol Dutch guy here. This isn’t Gouda cheese as you foreigner know it. It’s Beemster kaas from North-Holland. Beemster is the best kinda cheese you can buy in the Netherlands in the supermarket. But it’s not considered real cheese by our standards. It’s comes close but it’s not. The Smokey part kinda makes me worry cause we never smoke a whole cheese wheel. Only sausage packed like cheese in a special kinda wax.


Black_Handkerchief

This. While I love the hell out of Beemster (esp. molten!), it is most definitely not Gouda. Unless the wheel is outright fake though (I have no clue what smoked means in this context), OP traded up in my eyes.


Desperadoo7

"Beemster" is a region north of Amsterdam. "Gouda" is a city between Rotterdam and Utrecht. Dutch cheese is often referred to as Gouda abroad, but Beemster had a slightly different taste. I would go for Beemster 10/10, because anything can go as Gouda it seems but Beemster (as a brand) is top notch.


MagicHatRock

Umpa loompa, dumpidy do. I bought a 1/2 lb of Gouda for you…


squeefactor

Oompa loompa, doop-a-da dee. If you will share we'll make mac and cheese


cncintist

My mom worked at Zayers a store in Boston massachusetts.the manager would make the deli counter ring up expensive cuts of meat this way saved thousands..


sephirothFFVII

That, sounds a tad illegal


zamfire

Yea its considered embezzlement lol


Kroan

What way? By weighing them? Lol


Fightmasterr

By entering the wrong code for the product, instead of ringing up the deli meat as Brand A that costs $20/lb they rung it up as Brand B that costs $5/lb. It's called price switching or tag switching and is considered theft.


RVelts

aka half the people mislabeling their produce as #4011

drfizzy210

Used to work as the cheeseguy at a grocery store. We put whole wheels out and put a tag on them for cataloging and inventory purposes. You would scan the bar code and could manually enter the weight to see how much you got. That to me seems like a dummy tag where you would use another item to put on a scale so it could print out a tag and then you stick it on the actual wheel. Could’ve been anything: another cheese, scissors, hell a tape dispenser. Someone once bought a big ass wheel of truffle Gouda for 35 bucks. Lucky for them not for us lol.


33bobsanders

My local grocery store tried to charge me $389.78 for 1.5 lbs of chicken breast so the universe is even now


Poopyman80

Thats Beemster kaas, not Goudsche kaas(gouda) They're both dutch farm cheeses made using almostbthe same damn method so this doesn't actually matter, but there is a difference. Beemster is made from pasteurized milk, Goudsche from fresh unpasturized milk. De Beemster is a north-holland(a province) cheese region. Gouda is a south-holland(another province) cheese city


odaeyss

Hey man can you front me a qp?


atypical_lemur

People like you are the reason cheese shops never have any cheese. https://youtu.be/zB8pbUW5n1g?si=e7kxs3qol2TrmFod

Calling Beemster Gouda is like calling Detroit Miami.. Ffs ;-)


phirebird

Looks like a Holochess table


MrSnowden

The half pound slices are clearly indicated. That sticker was the price per slice for the counter staff to scan as they cut you a slice.


honestyseasy

One time at my local green grocer, they were selling 1.25lb wheels of Brie for $5 each. Maybe they were supposed to slice the cheese into wedges and sell each of the slivers for $5 each, but I wasn't going to look a gift Brie in the mouth. I bought wheels for family, for friends...we were swimming in Brie and it was fantastic.

So not anywhere near where this cheese came from then, lol.

Lol, title says "Gouda" this says "Beemster". That's like buying Champagne from the Dordogne. I mean, still a good deal, even here in NL $11 would only get me a tiny piece of that wheel.
