KENBRIDGE, Va. — A Lunenburg County woman is still in shock Friday morning after she said a trip to the local grocery store Thursday turned into a nightmare. Kimberly Slaughter, a home health nurse dropped by Shoppers Value in Kenbridge to pick up a few groceries, when she noticed what she believed was mouse poop on a packaged bag of popcorn.

"I was like, I'm not getting that bag," Slaughter explained. "So I put it on the bottom shelf because there was already mouse poop covering the bottom shelves." Slaughter said there were sticky rodent traps on the bottom shelf as well. She then went to grab another bag of popcorn, but noticed that bag had a small hole in the top right corner.

"As soon as I went to put the bag in my basket to take it up front, because you know, they can't sell it, & the thing had popped out." That 'thing' was a snake. Slaughter immediately pushed her grocery cart with the popcorn bag & snake still inside to the front of the store to let an employee know about the issue. "They're like, this doesn't ever happen here," she explained. "But the bottom shelf has no merchandise on it because of the simple fact that mice get on it."

While she was at the front of the store, the snake crawled out of the bag, down the side of the cart before returning to the popcorn bag. "It was the full length of the cart," she exclaimed. Slaughter said this isn't the 1st time she's learned of an issue at Shoppers Value. She believes more needs to be done to protect the health & safety of customers. The store is one of the only places to purchase groceries in the small town...

3. Why in the world would someone shop in a store with mouse poop

and rodent traps? Oh, and maybe there's some kind of health department that should hear about the conditions at that store.

Where they have no idea where 'Caveat Emptor!' came from, but they prove they understand what it means! Where corporate accountability and oversight are seen as 'communist'! Where 'dick waving' has become the new national sport!
