PARIS, Maine — Deena Tracy said Wednesday she hadn’t eaten in almost a day.
A day earlier, she caused a minor online sensation by posting a video on Facebook showing, she claims, a bucket of maggot-infested takeout chicken purchased at Walmart and also claiming she may have inadvertently eaten some of the maggots.
On Tuesday morning, while running errands at Walmart, Tracy got a bucket of fried chicken from the deli. She picked out popcorn chicken and fried wings for her daughters, and General Tso’s chicken for herself.
At the store, a clerk filled an empty bucket from food stored in heating pans and printed out a sell-by date of Aug. 28, showing a purchase at 10:50 a.m. Her store receipt confirms the purchase.
She said she put the bucket between the seats and ate eight or nine pieces on the way home, not looking closely at her food while she drove.
She stopped at Moore Park for about half an hour so her daughter could play and said she kept the bucket closed at the time.
She got home, grabbed a fork and was about to take another bite of the General Tso’s when she said she saw something tiny and white in the sauce on the top piece. Then it moved. There was another climbing the side of the bucket, and many more in the chicken below.
Maggots.
“It’s halfway in the bucket,” she said Wednesday. “I had to eat halfway through the bucket before I’d even seen it.”
“You could see one that was poking its head off the piece of chicken.”
She told her daughter to drop a piece she had just picked up. She realized that she had eaten eight or nine pieces already, and called her mother in shock.
“I said, ‘you’ve got to see this. It’s so disgusting,’” Tracy said. Then she took an angry, profanity-filled video with her phone and posted it on Facebook so her mother and friends could see for themselves. That was Tuesday afternoon. A day later, nearly 4,000 people had shared it.
A manager at the Oxford Walmart declined to comment Wednesday morning.
Tracy said she called Walmart and was told they would refund her $12. She said she was told the chicken was cooked fresh every single day. The manager suggested that the maggots may have entered the chicken at Moore Park, but Tracy said she kept the plastic shopping bag tied closed when she was there.
She said she wanted more than a refund. She wanted them to find out how it could have happened.
“I would have been a little more satisfied if she said, ‘We’ll look into this matter and we’ll go down there and check it out,’” Tracy said.
Tracy said she has contacted an attorney but hasn’t heard back yet. She said she isn’t sure if there’s anything she can sue over. She said she’s saving the bucket in a tied-shut bag in her fridge for now.
According to Tracy, she has been a loyal Walmart shopper for years. She even worked as a cashier there eight years ago. She gets chicken there all the time. Not anymore.
Jeanne Curran, spokeswoman for the Maine Department of Agriculture, said the department has received a complaint from Tracy and has assigned a consumer protection inspector from the quality assurance division to the case. She said that Walmart is inspected yearly and a records check of the last two years found no complaints for the store.
Curran said the department expects the inspection to take a few days. If violations are found, they will be forwarded to the attorney general’s office, which can press charges. As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, Curran said she hadn’t heard back from the inspector.
The Department of Agriculture oversees food safety at many Maine stores including the Oxford Walmart.
Walmart spokeswoman Kayla Whaling said Walmart immediately began looking into the claim today, sending a third-party pest management company to the store. They found “no cause for concern,” Whaling said.
“We’re absolutely committed to offering our customers safe, quality food,” Whaling said. “We’re working to investigate all aspects of this allegation.”
She said chicken comes to Walmart stores frozen. It’s removed from the freezer, cooked, then put out in heated pans where it’s sold to customers.
The store routinely throws away cooked food that hasn’t been bought, she said.
“We believe it’s unlikely for this to happen,” Whaling said.
Tracy, 30, lives in Paris with her husband, Matthew, and two
daughters. She recently posted a request on the fundraising website
gofundme.com for $1,200 to take her family to Florida on vacation and to pay for propane while they’re away.
An online search showed a pattern of her requesting donations and suggesting deals to friends. A check of court records in Oxford County show no civil suits or consumer actions filed by Tracy in District or Superior courts.

Someone looking for a nice lawsuit.
Exactly. “Tracy said she has contacted an attorney but hasn’t heard back yet. She
said she isn’t sure if there’s anything she can sue over.” So I suppose she called the attorney just to find out if she could cash in on this. I’m skeptical the maggots came from wally world.
Reminds me of the person who brought a lab rat to a McDonalds and claimed they put it in his burger. The rat was a special breed and they traced it back to the lab he worked in. Then there was that finger (severed in an accident) a woman bought from a friend and she “found” it in her food. In this case, if there are maggots in one serving of food, there should be maggots in the entire batch. And nobody yet has come forward with such a claim.
And how would you know that?
Probably because it would have also been reported I imagine.
I wonder if anyone told her to research the life cycle of the fly before she decided to jump on the sue bandwagon. Her story leads one to believe that she indeed does not know much about flies and maggots.
???
LOL…She should retain Jackie Chiles(Kramer’s attorney on Seinfeld) as her lawyer .
“Tracy said she has contacted an attorney but hasn’t heard back yet. She
said she isn’t sure if there’s anything she can sue over.” Wonder if she called Joe Bornstein…you know…1-800-call-joe.
Good one- I like that!
Once I was shopping at Walmart. Was in the bakery for bread. was about this time of year .A loaf had one of those large flies. Gave it to the employee. Needless I didn’t buy any baked goods ,still won’t
And shame on the BDN for giving her the exposure.
Shame of BDN for showing pic of receipt. We don’t want to see the receipt! We want to see the maggots!
There is a video on YouTube!
right here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zy23pvkobU
sup maggots?
The obvious question here is : Why in the world would anyone buy fried chicken at Wal-Mart?
Exactly. Why buy your food at the same store you buy motor oil and ammo?
Gross.
The food isn’t sitting in motor oil. As I said, and I know my fried chicken, their wings are terrific. You’re missing out on a good thing if you happen to like fried wings.
i’d rather support a local restaurant or business instead of the corporate monster that is wal-mart
Where do you suppose WalMart gets its milk?
Well, wherever it comes from, chances are it’s at least a week old. Have noticed that milk we buy in Palmyra Walmart sometimes has an expiration date less than a week away. Also the meat, especially beef, isn’t fit for human consumption. Tough to eat, tastless, etc. Wonder how many weeks before it arrives at the store.
Until recently, every drop sold in Maine came from Oakhurst Dairy. I don’t think Oakhurst still has that contract. But they did not long ago.
BS one of these days i am gonna put you people to the test. I’m gonna buy meat at Wally, Hannaford, Shaws and a local meat dealer and cook them all the same way i bet a million NONE of you could tell the difference . you are all FOC. I shop at Walmart because like the majority of people in this state i cant afford to Shop “locally” Everything available Locally is WAY over priced
China (the country)
gross.. I barely buy milk at walmart…..
Ever had a sandwich at Swett’s in Bangor? The place that also sells tires, motor oil, and gasoline? If you haven’t, then it is time you did. Good place.
And their craft beer selection is top notch!
The people that work there are nice, too.
My question exactly! I can’t even afford to buy a phone that takes pix/video………….but I do buy & eat only healthy food. WOuldn’t eat at a Walmart; would go hungry!
Their fried chicken pieces made from the whole chicken aren’t all that good. But their wings and the general tsao’s are top notch. If their whole chicken parts were made using the wing recipe, they’d put KFC out of business.
*foodstamps*?
Nope you cant buy hot food from the deli with food stamps.
ebt cash then lol
#stampthatfood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zy23pvkobU
Why did you just waste 48 seconds of my life?
That aint the point bro, the chicken is frozen and then cooked…..how would there be maggots? first comes fruit flies, then comes maggots? I’m pretty sure that the people working there would notice flies and/or maggots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zy23pvkobU
If it had maggots …. someone would have noticed. (Employee, costumers, a kid would have noticed) It’s kind of hard NOT to notice tiny little warms moving around.
How long does it take for fly eggs to become maggots?
Answer:Have you ever squashed a fly and found maggots already squirming inside the fly? This is because some fly species are ovoviviparous – i.e. the eggs hatch inside the mother. Other flies eggs hatch immediately, as soon as they are laid (or reach a warm temperature).
You answer your question with a question?? But I still don’t know the answer…
Each female fly can lay approximately 500 eggs in several batches of about 75 to 150.[2] The eggs are white and are about 1.2 mm in length. Within a day, larvae (maggots) hatch from the eggs; they live and feed on (usually dead and decaying) organic material, such as garbage or feces.
And i guess they also might eat walmart fried chicken, so goes the story.
They have been used to clean/debride human wounds.
OK, I needed to go on a cleansing fast after a fattening vacation. After reading this thread, it became a lot easier. Blech.
Thanks for the help on that post. I thought it was just me having a senior moment. LOL
Bingo. Whole story sounds like b.s. to me.
Will be very interesting when the truth come out.
Yeah, and she’s just looking for some free money. Typical in our society today, no one wants to earn their own money, just try and scam someone to get it. #toomuchswag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zy23pvkobU
I am sure she ” was looking for more than a refund”. She contacted an attorney to find out what she was looking for. He hasn’t told her yet.
If i said rats eat Walmart donuts, before you buy and eat them. You would say that is made up.
How’s this for proof:
http://consumerist.com/2007/03/warning-rats-in-the-walmart.html
here’s the proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zy23pvkobU
I believe her……. gross…
Maggots are larvae (babies) of flies. First the fly lays an egg, or 100, where they hatch and the larvae squirm and start munching on their food source and grow. This usually takes a minimum of 1 day to happen. Something is wrong with her timeline there. Add to that, I always wonder about agendas of profanity-laced rantings, especially those on Facebook specifically tailored for basically attention.
???
She is just looking for a handout.
I agree. Another Welfare Case looking to be subsidized by the people. Just like at the end of the story she wants people to fund a vacation to Florida for her and her family and to pay for her propane. This woman and her husband need to get jobs. The fact tonight on the news she says she can’t eat, can’t sleep cry us a river. This woman should accept the money and move on.
That is the problem with our state alot of folks think they can have everything handed to them on a platter.
And the BDN provided this platform because…?
it was a slow news day in Maine as usual…
darkcat33 has returned!
I think I am going to be sick. And, those people that say she is looking for handout – well just check your food next time you buy something at Walmart. You just never know what you find in there!!
Right. You may just find a lawsuit…if you look hard enough.
I’ve been shopping at Walmart for years and have never had this happen to me.
I buy from there frequently and don’t see all the problems people invent they have. I think a lot of folks are just jealous of their business model.
If you have a middle school level knowledge of science you know it is untrue due to the timelime and heat exposure- so if she is not looking for a handout does she just like to lie, let’s be real, call it what it is, and study some science!
Several years ago, I purchased the store brand, frozen corn at a reputable grocery store. The bag was filled with very large, very frozen maggots, not newly hatched. It’s disgusting and it happens. Had I not been as naive as I was back then, you can bet I would’ve thrown that bag into the freezer and tried to sue them. NOT for the money, but to bring attention to the issue and make them stop selling maggot infested food. Instead, I was offered free coupns. FML.
What you saw might have been corn borer beetle grubs. I found one (dead, of course) in a freshly opened can of sweet corn, also from a ‘reputable’ supermarket chain, last Thanksgiving, in fact. Believe it or not, I looked it up, and there is a USDA acceptable limit of borer grubs per unit of corn sold for consumer use.
you can bring attention to it other ways than trying to pad your wallet.
At the time, the internet did not exist. “Viral” was an actual germ. Perhaps I should’ve called 60 Minutes, I am certain they would’ve ran my corn story…said no one, ever. I understand this woman’s anger and frustration, and applaud her actions. Stores need to be held responsible for the food they serve to the public.
I think the last few paragraphs of the story says it all. Nice investigative work by BDN.
So,people with ads somewhere dont have yecky things happen to them?? It will take months for anything to happen with this case……
The Sun Journal wrote the article.
Ah. Thanks for the correction.
She is nothing more than a mooch, a scam artist trying to live off of the people. This is what most folks who are too lazy to work do. They try to live off of us. The sad part the only way she will be stopped if someone complains about this woman to the DA’s office.
It’s not a Bangor Daily story. And no, it’s not good journalism, because the woman isn’t given a chance to respond.
not impossible at all. Years ago I bought Pampers for one of my babies, when i got home, there were maggots in the diapers, under the outside wrapper. I returned them and questioned where the hell Papmers are stored for such to happen. I switched to cloth diapers immediately.
Cloth diapers rock! I am so glad to see more people using them and realizing that they are very easy to use, better for the environment and the baby (and the parents’ bank account).
Actually they’re pretty hard on the environment when you take into account all of the energy required to boil them repeatedly and then dry them and then (if you use a service) deliver them and pick up the dirty ones in a big, petroleum-powered delivery truck. The environment pays one way or another.
at least they don’t sit in a landfill for eternity.
im all set w using cloth diapers. washing poop filled diapers in my washing machine isnt going to happen.
Perhaps you accidentally purchased a box of Presoiled Pampers
those maggots are going to multiply quickly in her fridge. I would do something else with them. Freezer maybe….
And that surprised her???
She has a habbit of wanting things for nothing….Interesting… I have a feeling Walmart can sue her….
Sue her for what? Walmart, like a public figure, would have an extremely high burden to meet to win a libel case,
she spoke the words so it is slander. She posted on Facebook so evidence would be there for a very easy case if found to be false.
No, it’s not easy. A corporation such as Wal-Mart is treated as a public figure in libel law. This means that the company would have a much more difficult case to prove, as it would have to demonstrate that it actually lost business because of a falsehood and that the falsehood was malicious. Merely cooking up an allegation against a company to get money is not, by itself, malicious. The company would have to prove that this woman deliberately set out to paint Walmart in a false light and set out to do significant damage to the corporation’s reputation, for no other reason than to hurt the company. Not to mention, the company would have to prove that she made the story up.
Although true she spoke of them in slander here is where the argument lies, go look at the comments in this site and other sites and people are already slamming Wal-Mart in someway, it is no different if you told someone in person that the comments played a role in loss of business, if person Walamrt is not clean, though Wal-Mart may be big a right minded judge would have to see if her comments that store has not seen a significant loss of business, her slander is just every day gab.
I am like third person friends with this girl. I see this video when only 50 people had viewed it. It sure does stink to be her, but the fact of the matter is Wal Mart has more money than the federal government AND better lawyers. She should take her twelve dollars and learn her lesson about cheap take out served by entry level minimum wage employees that could give a crap or not if she DIED from eating that chicken. I don’t see how she can prove anything in court, thats why the lawyer hasn’t called her back, because its a waste of time. I am sure with the free publicity she is getting from the news that some bottom feeder might take the case but any court in the land will throw it out in a second. I am also kind of curious about how the whoever wrote the article took the time to disparage this lady at the very end there. She must be a world class winner to get that kind of bad publicity from one meeting. It seems to me that the newspaper might be more liable than Wal Mart, they published unfounded rumors from unverified sources about this young ladies character. Maybe that might be the route to some money, although I am not familiar with slander laws here in Maine, but it would seem more likely that that would go further in the judicial system than a suit against Wal Mart for maggot chicken.

Oh you misunderstand, I know about all that gross stuff. I worked in a large chinese restaurant in Bangor for quite some time, and I can tell you stories that would make you never ever want an egg roll again. It just goes to show that for all the stuff that is reported, imagine all the stuff that isn’t… It goes back to the whole Wal Mart has more money than the free world, and any lawyer worth a dollar on retainer. This is a gross story, hands down, not arguing that. I am just saying that it is a waste of time to think that she will get anything from Wal Mart. The Sun Journal dug up the gofundme.com thing, imagine what Wal Marts million dollar legal department could dig up or fabricate well enough to convince a jury?
Hard to prove one way or the other. Maggots can move very fast, and would invade a bucket of chicken in no time, either in display case into the sauce if not kept very hot, or from inside the car they were riding in. Disgusting no matter which way you slice it!!!!! UGH. I once found a deer or rabbit poop baked into a cranberry muffin. Thank God I broke the muffin open instead of just biting into it. I suspect it was in the cranberry harvest and being about the same size and shape as a berry, rolled right along the belts never being noticed. I took the muffin back and suggested they contact the berry suppliers to let them know of the issue. Needless to say, I’ve never bought muffins at that store again.
moral of the story is……don’t eat fried chicken.
I almost was convinced that this was a possibility ………………………………. then I read the part about posting on the fundraising website for raising $1200 to take family to Florida on vacation (only $1200 for a family of 4 to Florida ……….. hummmmm and pay propane).
Seems pretty coincidental …………………………. and as Gibbs would say on NCIS, I don’t believe in coincidences.
I believe there are corporate maggots running Wal-Mart.. so it’s possible their offspring are in the food.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh. I needed that!
Matter of perspective. Maggots only eat dead flesh. Sure disgusting, but they can also save limbs. There’s a youtube vid of a diabetic woman with a bad infection on her ankle. All her doctors told her they’d have to amputate the foot. She found a doctor trained in maggot therapy. The maggots were skillfully applied on the infection, the wound was allowed to heal fully, the maggot therapy saved her foot!
After reading the end of this article, it’s obvious that she’s looking for a pay day.
There is no chance that this larvae would survive the deep fryer, and those hot cases are kept too hot (or they should be) for the larvae to survive. A lot of things would have to go wrong for that to happen and I’m just not buying that.
And this is from someone who really dislikes Walmart, and am not in the business of ever defending them.
Exactly, I shop at Walmart as little as possible and I’m in no way defending them. I shop mostly at Hannaford and have seen people checking temperatures of their wing bar cart to make sure the food is staying at the correct temperature. Just don’t see it working out like she claims.
Yeah I actually work at Wal-Mart and am very familiar with the deli, there is absolutely no possible way for her side of the story to be true given the nature of maggot infestation and the process behind it. That is, if the employees followed policy.
I have seen the video, they don’t look like maggots like you would think. It looks like tiny, tiny, thin inch worms or similar. Very tiny.
mmmhmmmmm….another fake story skulking around for a payout…NEXT!!
very transparent !
go vegan, get a job!
4 years ago, I bought hot fried chicken pieces from
Wal-Mart in Brewer, and the center was not cooked, and was bloody. I did take a
video, as I had my camera with me, but just went back in to the store, showed
them to the Returns Clerk, and she almost puked. Naturally, I got a refund.
I was going to write to the State of Maine to have
their cooking processes inspected, but the look on the Returns Clerk face told
me that the management would look in to it.
About a year later, I bought frozen vegetables, several
times, in those five pound bags they have at the SuperCenters. I found glass
pieces in one of the bags, and it was my mouth that found them when I ate the
food. I was not cut, and threw the bag away. Later, I read in the newspaper that
Wal-Mart was recalling five pound bags of frozen vegetables because of glass in
the bags.
So sometimes it is a good thing to report something, as
it helps the store or corporation clean up it’s act, and recall what needs to be
recalled. The best way to report this is NOT TO LOOK FOR A PAY DAY, but just to
report it so others do not have the same problems later on.
I once had frozen vegetables with some kind of metal in them (no idea where I bought it, though). I put the frozen veggie mix in a bowl and put it into the microwave….and it started sparking. I took it out and looked closely, but I couldn’t see anything unusual in the food. I tossed it to be on the safe side and made something else for dinner. Pretty strange, though!
Microwave poltergiest ??? lol.
Whilst in college, years (and years) ago, I was making myself a cold-cut turkey sandwich. After placing turkey on the bread, which was on my tray, I noticed white squishy wigglies. I returned the turkey, and its squishy wigglies, back to the platter (which appeared to have more). I then moved on to something hot to eat.
Many years ago I purchased a packet of rice, vegetables, spices, etc, at the Augusta Wal Mart. When I opened the package I discovered tiny ‘bugs’ moving around inside. I closed and secured the packet, and thought about what to do. I contacted the store and got minimal response. My wife and I decided to post on http://www.Planetfeedback.com. I included as much information as I could find on the packet, skew, product number etc. as well as the information on my receipt. We were contacted by a senior Wal Mart Vice President. It was discovered that that product was more than a year past the removal from the shelf life.
This VP was more than helpful in resolving the matter. We received a refund for the purchase price in addition to a replacement packet (fresh). The point is, they need to know when problems occur, otherwise a problem cannot be corrected. We did not ask for a refund due to the small amount involved and were surprised at the overall response.
Good
post.
These huge
corporations are just as vulnerable to mistakes as your small businesses, and we
take everything being perfect for granted.
I will say
that I never ordered cooked chicken at Wal-Mart again, and obviously never
bought those large five pound packages of frozen mixed
veggies.
About
2005, I entered the Brewer store, and a greeter was making fun of a disabled
Iraq War vet who was the other greeter at the other door. The, “mocking
greeter,” was telling me how his Daddy was a WW II veteran, and this Iraq War
vet greeter he was mocking was faking his PTSD.
Well, that
is what I am diagnosed with, so I was pretty miffed. I wrote a letter to
Wal-Mart, and got an apology from the manager and the Mocking Greeter whose
Daddy was supposedly a WW II hero…..LOL
Another
time, I had my Flip video camera with me, and when a Returns Clerk refused to
call a store manager, I pulled it out, which caused two Returns Clerks to
physically attack me…LOL When the store managers showed up, they were very
rude, on camera, so I posted it to the Internet, and I think somebody was
fired.
It was
such a small matter but I was irritated that it had happened on three different
visits to the store. I’m sorry I used my video camera, which seemed to make the
situation worse.
Well, you
know, some store employee is in a bad mood, and then you start videoing them
(which the store does to them and me, every minute we’re in the store), and it
only brings out The Nasty in these young, overworked, store
employees.
Looking
back, I will never use a video camera on a store clerk again, and just write a
letter to the management. I have my imperfections, the employees at Wal-Mart
have theirs, people make mistakes, and I still shop at certain Wal-Mart’s for
the convenience or the deals, but sometimes, being a consumer is a full time
occupation…LOL
Have a
good shopping day, Melibusa. Rog.
PS The best use of a video camera of mine was in a
truck stop, where they do not serve alcohol. Three drunken young people,
probably with fake I.D.s on them which allowed them to get drunk, sat down next
to us and entertained everyone. I posted that video, and months later, the
youngster was begging me to remove it, which I did. It never occurred to me that
these things went viral at that time, and it was mostly posted, just as a joke
on this kid.
But my brother died in an auto accident at age 19, and
in the end, I think it made a dent on this young kid’s (and his family and
friends) head. The restaurant manager and waitress were angry with me, but only
because it made them look bad, as they did not call the cops. Yet they have not
had youngsters die in auto accidents, so perhaps drunken kids driving on I-95 is
just an amusement to them, after all.
IN THE END, sometimes that saying, IF YOU SEE
SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING (or at least take a video….LOL) may protect others
from having some of the same problems.
#longcomment
Just extra protein…
I found a moth in a Payday bar once. I also drank a beer with a cigarette butt once, that really sucked.
I’m guessing all she wants is money and this didn’t even happen! Imagine going online trying to get people to pay for your trip to Florida and the propane while your away?? Hmmm, if you want to go on vacation get a job!!
It was on Facebook. It must be true.
I have been into Walmart and I wouldnt even attempt to buy any type of meat there. Ever. The red meat is dark brown and the chicken is a greenish yellow color. I dont doubt for one second this is a possibility. However, her seeking out Donations/funds for her to go on vacation sounds sketchy. I want to go on vacation too but why in the world would I seek for someone else to cover the bill? She definitly has her work cut out for her if she thinks she isnt going to be investigated.
What Walmart do you shop at?
This is what she is looking for….her words, posted on another website in July….

“Hi everyone,, Im from Maine and Have a wonderful husband and two children Britney and Ellie 7 & 4 My husband and I have been married for two years now, and have never been able to take a honeymoon I have family that lives in Florida and we would love to see them again its my girls meme and they have expressed that they are going to be helping us to get to Florida for christmas this year but are able to only pay for 3 out of the four tickets we need to have us all comewardown. We have never taken a Vacation in the 11 years that my Now Husband have been together So im wondering if anyone out there would be as kind to maybe help us on this venture we are super excited to try and get out of maine for once in our life to see what a tropical paradise is all about of coarse we have been told that there are some expences that come with taking a vay-k and the plane ticket is a little on the expensive side I think 1200.00 would help us with the propaine we need to keep our house warm while we are gone the plane ticket and some mic. things such as the carry on fees and maybe a rental car for the 9 days while we are there Im really not sure But anything would help us in achev the goal of a warm christmas :0) Im super excited to hopfully getting to give my girls the opportunity to GET OUT OF MAINE and see another part of the United States Please any comments would be more than welcome you been to FL? whats it like ? What are some of the fun things kids can do there? Are the sunsets as beautiful as they say they are ? ”
Huge scam….
Do you think she has ever heard of punctuation? Wow. There were so many run-on sentences that I got confused.
Actually, there were only 2 run-on sentences – only 2 periods in that whole piece! Lol Maybe she should use that money for an English class…
Hooked on phonics!!!
That would do her more good than Hooked on Maggots!
Always wondered why phonics isn’t spelled, “fonics”. Jus’ sayin’
wow maybe she shouldnt be buying fast food and maybe make the stuff at home then she could save a little money to put toward her vacation. what a friggin scam artist!! cant afford florida? too bad. go to santas village in nh
Yes! Get Out Of Maine!
Jeepers, is that all ONE sentence???
Personally I think the authorities SHOULD give her the opportunity to GET OUT OF MAINE and into her own little jail cell … and feed her Walmart Tso chicken every day while she’s in there!
She doesn’t use any periods in this FB post! Sounds like a scam to me as well. Some people…
are you kidding me? This woman expects people to pay for her vacation? She probably should be asking for donations to send her back to school so she can brush up on her English.
Did anyone notice there is no punctuation in the whole rambling paragraph…..
She should like get a job or something instead of trying to get free money from a scam. #getalife http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zy23pvkobU
Is it true , Walmart’s vegetables and fruits are all frozen when shipped ,then un-thawed and put on the shelves? I never see ‘Fresh Fruit’ signs at Walmart.
Un-thawed ?
auto spell missed it
LOl missed it! It’s not a word!
i just made it a word then
better Maine slang the Califorina slang.
I always take the time to pose for a picture with my receipt after something unsatisfactory in my food.
Can you get General Tsos chicken with an EBT card?
Thats funny.
She sure can use her TANF on hot foods at Walmart. I don’t think food stamps can be used on hot foods though but I could be wrong! You know darn well she whipped that EBT card out like a BOSS!
She could use the cash part of th EBT card not the Food Stamp part.
The only maggot in this story is Tracy, wow, what people will do for money
Capeheart
You know what, enough with the Capehart. They have come a long way and it is not fair doing that every time someone hears of something criminal or low class. When you read the paper these days it almost always Ohio St. or downtown, in fact for several years now you hardly hear Capehart in the news at all ( yes, I know about the guy that beat the baby to death last year and that has happened in other places in the state as well ). One end of Ohio has always been a problem…how come no one says Ohio St. ? I grew up in Capehart in the 70’s and 80’s and it was the best time of my life. Capehart is a city in a city. If you squeeze thousands of people into one small area eventually will will see a a crime. As many people live in that one small area that live in several small Maine towns.

This is a hoax in an attempt to get money. Nothing more.
I once bought a steak from Walmart that started barking at me when i took it out to cook. I said to the steak if your quiet i will bring you for a walk later. The steak shut right up.
Wal mart is one of the few places you can buy a leash and a hot dog !
I came across one in Hannaford, it was a politician….
I’m cryin foul!
If you’re going to pun it, spell it correctly.
fowl
I’m calling BS on this one the only maggot is her trying to get something for nothing.
I can’t believe BDN gave this any attention…..I don’t believe it for second…..if they find out she is lying they should prosecute her.
Who are “they”?
Read the article, it does a great job a placing the doubt. the reporter didn’t swallow her story at all.
Go check out gofundme.com …..look at all the people begging for stuff
Walmart sells lots of its deli items, especially the chicken products this woman claims to have found infested with maggots. Why aren’t there reports of other people finding maggots in food from the same batch hers came from? And why did she bother to post her complaint on facebook instead of going back to Walmart with the chicken?
The last time I fried up some maggots, they all died…
You don’t just get hand outs from a walmart. You ran errands and went to a park after you purchased the chicken and tying your bag does nothing, did you not see how small those maggots were? Do you put ice cream in a plastic bag and tie it thinking it won’t melt? Do you think it blocks sunlight and heat? If this lawyer has bigger fish to fry he should stay that way, $12 is all you are getting back, you are not out anything else and a smart judge should agree. Furthermore I can’t imagine she is the ONLY one who purchased chicken or ANYTHING from Walmart that day so it would seem someone else must have a pound of chicken somewhere with maggots in it too. Yeah considering you are the only one and you seem to look for money you really don’t got much of a leg to stand on. When it comes out Walmart was clean this woman should be banned for the unnecessary bad press, if I owned the business I would ban them from my business.
Sue happy people, you can eat maggots…
wow. What happened to being a good person, being honest. People disgust me more and more all the time. Why on earth would somone have the audacity to ask hardworking people to foot the bill for her vacation.. She needs to look up the definition of “shame” and then find herself some…
Couldn’t agree more, Rachel. However, when one grows up not knowing anything other that entitlements and free government money how can you expect that they’d feel shame?
Well that does it – no grits tonight.
There is no way they could have appeared at that stage of growth on chicken that was deep fat fried that day. If it is so terrible why would you put it in your fridge, bagged or not?
If she was in prison she could trade those maggots for cigs!
I’m surprised her pants don’t burst into flames.
Is she aware of how many centuries in jail and how many billion dollars she’ll owe if product tampering is found. Find a new mom for the kids if she did it.
Tampering with your own food isn’t a crime.
Yes it is , if you say it came from Walmart. It is one that will get you a very long jail term and millions of dollars in fines….
The prison sentence would be up to five years — hardly a “very long jail term.” A fine of $25,000 is hardly “millions of dollars.” There can be a prison sentence and a fine, or a prison sentence and no fine, or a fine and no prison sentence, rendering your claim that a person would get “a very long jail term and millions of dollars in fines” also inaccurate.
Bad reporting. The end appears to be an ambush on this woman, without giving her a chance to respond.
This article was a little confusing but my immediate thought was..are they girls ok? Is anyone sick from side effects of eating alleged maggots? I find it rather troublesome that she can tell one end of a maggot from the other, yet she ate several pieces before noticing them.The little buggers would have surfaced much earlier if the bucket was truly infested..But if I was truly concerned about eating maggots my first call would have been to my physician not my attorney…..
They wouldn’t get sick…just extra protein
I recommend BDN for a Pulitzer Prize for this important article. Way to stick it to the “Man!” Bravo BDN, Bra-Freaqin’-VO!
(Meant to be funny) I don’t know why she is complaining about this she got all that protein for free.. Or, she should keep quiet about this cause others will want maggot infused chicken too.. And lastly Oh what a bargain you get your chicken and your fishing bait in one purchase.. God that’s gross…. Sorry for the bad attempt of humor..
This woman needs to get a job and pay for her own travel and fuel like everyone else. I don’t know which is worse, the maggots or this woman polishing off half a bucket of chicken by herself……..
I don’t know this woman, but I agree with many of the posters that she is looking for something for nothing. There have been too many fraudulant claims against businesses with deep pockets and this appears to be same old story, different day.
This woman needs to get a job and pay her own way for fuel and travel and not sponge off of the generosity of others. I don’t know what’s worse, the maggots or this woman downing half a bucket of chicken by herself………………….
Consider the purchase of a one way ticket !
I know what everyone is thinking…she’s doing it for money…but I know someone that found a rat at the bottom of a can in a soft drink (gelled from age and acidity, it was nasty), and while I didn’t eat this – I bought a plant once and while driving home looking at it—yup maggots (or some foreign worm?) crawling all through the soil…i mean it was infested with them- very nasty. And if you guys knew half of what is in your food and how it’s treated – maggots in chicken is NOT far off.
With that said, I’m not giving a penny to this person for a vacation. With all the needs in this world – I would rather donate to help feed the hungry than support a person with a bucket-o-chicken diet to go on a vacation.
I’m surprised that she didn’t say “and I need a new tattoo to show off in Florida so please include enough money for that.”
She had to eat half way thru the bucket…what a sow.
I am not a big fan of Wal*Mart, and do not spend a lot of the money that I work hard to earn…but, do not believe for a second that chicken with “live” maggotts would or could be sold. First off, if it was in the provider of the meat….they would be deep fried maggotts….not live, and for another….there are very strict policys on how long food can remain under heating lamps….and I am certain it is not long enough for the hatching of maggotts…….Tracy has not heard from a Attorney because his is bent over laughing….and can not pick up the phone…..GET A JOB TRACY!!!
So the basis of the lawsuit is that the maggots were supposed to be crunchy and plentiful, but they were just plain and not enough per bite? Shouldn’t Walmart charge extra for the added maggots? If she got them for free, why is she complaining?
I’d think the receipt lends credibility if it shows the chicken was purchased within a reasonable time frame of her “discovery”. I’m sure Walmart with their very deep pockets will be thoroughly investigating to ensure this was not a fabricated event. Regardless of maggots or not, just say no to buying prepared foods in superstores. Just because it isn’t a burger from a fast food restaurant doesn’t make it healthy. Before you get all indignant, I don’t think I’m better than those that eat meals from Walmart… just smarter.
Unless of course she bought the same thing two days ago…
And you are correct, fast food or food like this is not very healthy or cost effective.
I worked at Walmart for many years… A lady who called from her phone to have managemnet go to her car in parking lot due to legs problems.She showed us a piece of gross smelly chicken..She stated she just bought it.I looked at the package and clearly saw the issue…. She bought it two days earlyer!! The Deli only prints stickers as the item is put into bag/bucket etc… It had the wrong date….. Her car was a pigpen and she probley got the wrong piece of chicken… People are pigs..sorry…. She looked kinda embarrased… took her chicken and left… she came back the next day….
wal-mart has a policy to not pay on complaints.. they employ hundreds of lawyers.. I feel for her and will probably donate tomorrow.
If you donate, you perpetuate her fraud. Read the article.
“An online search showed a pattern of her requesting donations and suggesting deals to friends.”
Right. Another tub of chicken, courtesy of ptrb.
Shame on BDN for printing this drivel.
Obviously another scammer trying to make a quick buck off the corporate giants. Gotta laugh, very original, lol. Maybe someone should go to Walmart tomorrow, buy a candy bar and then tell the manager that they found someone’s teeth in it and accuse them of selling second hand food. lol.
I have a couple of issues with this woman’s story. First of all, if I thought for a second that my child just ate maggots, you can believe that I would have driven straight back to Wal-Mart and dropped the bucket in the manager’s lap. (Inappropriate, I know, since it was not entirely the Manager’s fault. Just my gut reaction as a parent.) Second, I certainly would not have taken the chicken home, “tied it up” in a bag and stuck it in my fridge! Unless, of course, I was generous enough to allow my whole fridge to become a school science project! I won’t even get into how I feel about her asking people to pay for her vacation and propane… again.
Aren’t maggots full of protein? I didn’t know Walmart was in the health-food market now.
FINGER LICKIN’ GOOD!
She probably bought the chicken and then went home and like a typical person on welfare left it out in the open for flies to dump on…
poverty stricken people will do anything…perhaps she bought the chicken with food stamps and wanted the refund in cash…stealing our money…
Hear Yea!… Hear Yea!… Hear Yea!… the Maggots are comin!….. oh boy… {{{
I just made it a word then
Wow! So much judgement on another human without all the facts. And the so called “facts” came from the BDN. Lol Neighbor against neighbor. I think that was predicted, and written in a well known book a long time ago.
she’s looking for some free money! end of story.
Chicken McNoggin anyone?
Dont woof down 9 pieces of chicken you will choke on a bone.
The maggots probably crawled out from under her fat rolls.
I think what is going to happen here is that our legislators in Augusta are going to create a new benefit for people struggling on public funds. Maybe a yearly vacation allowance? A daily KFC voucher? Buy one gallon of propane, get one gallon free from the state? Free showers for anyone posing for a press article where you are trying to extort money out of a company? Any other ideas?
Another 99%’r strikes again.
ka ching ka ching……is the economy really this bad…..unreal…..the new low’s people will stoop too…..the give away for her, “Tracy said she has contacted an attorney but hasn’t heard back yet. She
said she isn’t sure if there’s anything she can sue over. She said she’s
saving the bucket in a tied-shut bag in her fridge for now……….Money, the first thing she thought of, my first thought would be a doctors appointment to discuss the ill effects of POSSIBLY consuming maggots……again, unreal
I have to admit that my knee-jerk reaction when I saw this story on WCSH news last night was wondering if she was a gold-digger. I have changed my mind after reading the rest of these facts and thinking it over. Maggots are fly larvae that can hatch reasonably quickly. Temperature can dip below acceptable levels, and a common house fly land and lay its eggs, even in the best of eating establishments. I would like to think that they are more dilligent than a department store paying their employees a sub-standard wage.
Then notice the reporters bullying smear campaign at the end of the article. What does her activity with a legitimate fund raising website, attempting to provide a vacation that she is otherwise unable to afford, have to do with Walmart selling maggots?
The Sun Journal has a long history of being conservative right wing zealots; just like the God-fearing Walton family. Regardless of the facts in this case, a young mother’s name is now being dragged through the mud, in defense of a bloodsucking opportunistic corporation! Way to go Sun Journal. It’s comforting to see that you are still practicing the same high quality, fair, unbiased type reporting that you are famous for!
The overriding issue for me is the disdain that Wallyworld has for its clientele. Regardless of this lady’s intent, the problem is real and persists: quality control. I do the shopping for my family, usually on Friday evenings after work. I typically go to three stores, Shaw’s in Bangor, Hannaford and W-Mart in Brewer. About twice a month, I observe rotting fruit on display in the W-Mart. Last Friday, for example, EVERY bag of Clementines had between 3 and 5 decaying (white) tangerines in them. What’s up with that??? I have seen the same situation present in strawberry boxes, cherries, grapes and other produce. I rarely even look at their “offerings” anymore, preferring to obtain much better product from the other two chains. Don’t be too quick to dismiss the concerns of the woman in the article. WalMart should be ashamed to put this type of garbage out for consumers.
I guess I’d be ashamed of buying anything from a store that displays rotting food. Sort of like the people who complain about why the BDN published this dumb story. Well, why did you read it?
Huh? Wha…? Can you type anything less relevant?
SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
scam
At least shes not just sitting around doing nothing!! She appears to be very resourceful, not real successful but at least trying. FYI Tracy that crap you are buying to eat is not very good for you anyway.
And what do you expect when you go to Walmart for supper?
what about the chicken left at the store..was it inspected?..I would doubt she got the only portion with the magott..I bought popcorn chix, tne same day..different store..tasty tidbit and did she eat with her fingers, or a fork? that stuff is sticky and messy..and did you wash your hands before you ate it?..after pushing a cart, hundreds of people have had their hands on..juss askin..I have my doubts..she didnt look at the food she was eating??..hmmm
Sorry, but I don’t buy her story. This reminds me of a time years ago when I worked as a restaurant manager at a restaurant that had a buffet. People often tried to pull some little scam or another. A memorable one was a red-headed woman who called me to her table to complain that there was something in her food. Her long hair hung down in front of her shoulders, and what she had found in her me macaroni and cheese was… wait for it… a LONG RED HAIR laying right across the top of her plate. Hmmmm. Noticing that that the hair didn’t have any cheese anywhere on it, I replied that it looks like it MIGHT be hers. She insisted that it must have been in the mac & cheese when she scooped it out from the pan on the bar. Holding my hand in the air to demonstrate the action of scooping, I pointed out that when you scoop something out and put in on a plate, you most often turn the spoon upside down to get the mac & cheese to come off the spoon. So, why wasn’t the hair UNDER any mac & cheese then? She didn’t like this question. Raising her voice she insisted that it had to have come from one of the restaurant employees. Slowly sweeping my arm in the air like a doorman welcoming someone in, I led her eye around the restaurant. Coincidentally, every one of my staff that evening were black. Not a single employee with long red hair to be seen. Conversation over.
I’m no big fan of Wal-Mart, so “I have no dog in this fight” as the saying goes.
While bad mouthing Wal-Mart seems to be in vogue these days, no one can argue of their success. Wal-Mart offers merchandise at reasonable prices for the “working class” , which makes up the largest percentage of our Country’s population, myself included. Not everyone can afford the likes of L.L. , Lands End, and Macy’s for the “latest in fall fashions”.
I have always been puzzled by the fact that other stores that offer products of similar quality, and offer their employees similar wages and benefits, like K Mart and Sears to name a few, are able to fly below the radar of the publics scrutiny.
I read the book “ Selling Women Short” to try and better understand Wal-Mart’s corporate culture and came away with a much better understanding of “life at Wal-Mart “ from a employee‘s perspective.. I recommend it highly.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I frequent my local Wal-Mart, and often kidding make the statement that “ I’m a Wal-Mart kinda guy” when a brand conscious friend or co-worker is showing off their latest purchase.
I’m cheap,……….and proud of it.
Walmart is destroying local business..they import 80% of their merchandise from foreign countries..underpay and exploit their workers and most likely pay less tax’s than your average McDonalds worker!
The conumdrum in our “gotta have it all” world is that we buy low to increase our buying power. A family of four might shop Wally-World for back to school clothes or a week’s worth of groceries, saving a fair chunk of change over buying “local.” Is that an immoral action to be disparaged by others better off? I doubt it. I’m fortunate to not “have” to shop at Wally World, but I don’t for a second think that WalMart or Hannaford, Shaws, Target or HD, etc, are the wicked, heartless enemy you make them out to be. The world is a very complicated place and humans respond in a rational manner for self-interest. A middle class family could buy all their shopping needs “locally;” but that will put a helluva dent in the budget. Families support their local merchants as their budgets allow, shopping as necessary at the “big boxes.”
From what I recall when I used to go to Wal-mart, and part of why I don’t anymore, is it appeared they were selling to the handout class, not the working class.
This is bogus…Just looking for what I’m sure is another free handout…
Eight or nine pieces on the way home? This lady has more than a maggot problem. She’s going to court and Walmart won’t be the defendant.
Lies.
I have been lately very impressed with BDN’s coverage – they used to just report the story, without any background checking. That seems to have changed, all for the better. This is good reporting, BDN deserves applause.
everyone should check out the video she made…displaying the “chicken”…the camera shakes more than a scene from the Blair Witch!…plus with a child standing close to the bucket of chicken she says something like ” Look, there’s maggots in my F****n bucket of chicken”….CLASSY……
Tracy said she has contacted an attorney but hasn’t heard back yet
…bet ya there’s a reason for that…..nice try……carry on!
And then when the kid goes to school and repeats it and the teacher sends a note home, it will be “I never swear in front of my kids.” The good news is that she doesn’t have any credibility to lose.
Stop eating gross food, period.
And Walmart is destroying hundreds of Small Local Business Owners lives! Shop Mom & Pop!
Oh GROSS I didn’t know she ate it! LOL Walmart food is nasty, I try to discourage my wife from buying any food from there (or anything else for that matter).
So we’re talking maggots that can survive the high temps of fried food and still be alive? I don’t think so.
When Walmart finds out this is a scam she’ll need a good lawyer to defend herself. They’ll sue her for ruining their reputation. I think this is a HUGE SCAM. The hot grease would have killed any living maggot. I don’t belive a word of this claim. She’s looking for a big $$$ pay day!!!!!
True case of you get what you pay for. Or you get some and place the maggots in there when you have an opportunity.
Maybe she should learn to cook herself…better for you and your kids…just sayin.
Based on her grasp of the English language, I wouldn’t give her much ability to learn much of anything beyond how to whip out a snap card…and swear.
I hope they prosecute her for this SCAM. NOTICE the foul language she uses in front of her children. WHAT A SCAMMER
WATCH HER YOUTUBE VIDEO HERE:
http://youtu.be/QSqT9mmDjGg
Sounds like she just wants some $$$$$
I find it very hard to believe that after cooking the chicken and being in hot warmers that the maggots would have survived! Also I watched the video, and the maggots are clean…wouldnt they be covered in the sauce from the chicken? But no, they are all sitting on top of the chicken. Also very suspicious that she is looking for money to fiance her “honeymoon trip” to Florida. I hope Walmart doesnt even think of giving this lady money and hope they sue her!
This one’s got scam written all over it, especially given this woman’t history of trying to make easy money. That’s probably why the lawyer hasn’t returned her call. I think Wal Mart deli food is gross but I don’t think they’d serve up anything with maggots on it, if for no other reason than because it takes longer for them to hatch than would have elapsed after she bought the chicken.
Maggots thrive in rotting, stinky environments-oh & TSO chicken.
Everyone is calling her a liar, but in the video the maggots are only seen on the moiste Mao’s pieces – not the other, deep fried pieces in the divided bucket.
Is the Mao’s actually deep fried on site, or is it actually just heated up? I saw the video and it seems pretty sincere… If she really faked it why didn’t she just put maggots all over everything?
Do you think she had that much insight?
And what’s with everyone siding with Walmart? You all know by now how they treat their employees, do you really think they treat their chicken much better?
Why is she still at the top of the BDN website? There must be some other more pressing news out there that needs to be covered…. her 15 minutes of fame are WAY up!
best. face. ever.
Did anyone happen to notice her other Youtube videos? Mainly the one posted just before her Walmart video?
It’s a video of her baiting bears. She claims that maggots etc. are so disgusting, yet if you look at where she is baiting the bears, it’s just filth ridden… flies etc. And how ironic that the bag seen in the video is a Walmart bag. Wonder if she used that bag to keep her chicken in the fridge?
Wondering if the maggots came from the bear bait…
Check the video about 2.5 minutes in…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi_n0YHEvro&feature=plcp
That would be a great area to find some maggots to stick on the chicken, HMMM opportunity and a motive ( the trip) If anyone believes her they are extremely naive!
maggots in the chicken? such a profanity video… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zy23pvkobU
“She caused a minor online sensation by posting a video”, Sorry Mr. Tony Reaves of the Sun Journal, let me stop you there. 710 views on youtube is not a “minor online sensation”, its insignificant. It may have been a “online sensation” around the news office; however youtube has all kinds of crackpot conspiracy theorists on EVERYTHING with hundreds of thousands of views, you really going to do a story about a 700 view crazy mainer, k bro.
Infact to the conspiracy theorists point I made, she has a playlist called “the people for the people” on her youtube profile with conspriacy videos n junk liked, you have to be kidding me.
Scam artist looking for $$.
Maybe with the lawsuit money she can buy a gym membership.
Or maybe some healthy food that she cooks at home except that she probably can’t.
Yea but the weed growing video like, and people of the people playlist was better.
scam
#2peoplelikedthis
Excuse me?
A fund raising request for your family vacation and money to pay for your propane while you are gone?
Had this been mentioned earlier in the interview, this story should have never made it to print.
“An online search showed a pattern of her requesting donations and suggesting deals to friends.”Mark my words. This girl will soon be found to be a complete fraud.
Also saw a reference about her (on her twitter) that she did a “fundraiser” to get herself a downpayment for a house. . and even sent Selena Gomez a “Twitter” to look at her link. . It’s sad, regardless, that she would rather devour that chicken out of the bucket in her car, only to share it with her kids (or what is left) rather than a sit down dinner with vegetables. Selfish in every possible way.
also..juss asking..looking for donations so she and her husband and kids can take a honeymoon trip..but on her profile, it says open relationship…hmmmm
This is one of the most ridiculous stories I’ve read in quite a while. Shame on the media for even giving it column room.
I am no expert, but would maggots be able to live in food that is kept in a hot bar? Isnt there health laws that you are supposed to keep food at a certain temperature? If so, I just dont think maggots would be able to live at such hot temp’s. Just sayin…
How did maggots survive living under the heat lamp is what i wonder. you ever leave your hand under there for a minute and it gets burned? ever pick up something that has been under there for any amount of time and it is blazinghot! curious to see how the story unfolds…
could have been in the bucket prior to having put chicken it it.. maybe on a shelf near the floor.. Hey how clean or how much do people making minimum wage really care… Store managers now start around 250K a year. plus, they will insure your life so if you die as a store manager they collect.
I haven’t set foot in Walmart in 18 months and not because of what they sell, but because people like this shop there.
Oh by the way, missy, if you want people to give you money for your vacation, the least you could do is write an appeal that doesn’t sound like a text message…except you probably can’t.
What a complete crock.
One might think that one family such as the Waltons who possess as much wealth as the bottom 40% of the nation’s population (possibly most of whom shop at their stores) could run a better shop. Then again, this case might just be a good indicator of how they got all that loot.
Oh come on people, give the gal a break. there is a possibility that its true? Maggots could have been in the container? Always the negative here…..
The chicken is cooked……come on…think about it. How would LIVE maggots be involved unless there was rotten uncooked meat in there.
Whatever the truth may be, it is getting sickening, literally, to see this as a lead story on the BDN website. Time to give it the “prominence” it deserves, in another section of the site where people don’t have to read about this.
There are givers and takers in this world… Hmmmm….
Take a close look at the photo in the Sun Journal regarding this story. Very interesting.
Your comment caused me to go to the Sun Journal and have a look. Very interesting indeed. If I were trying to pull off a scam like this, I would not have what I saw in the picture even in there, let alone so prominent. Some people…
You wouldn’t be referring to the fly strip in the upper right corner would ya? lol
what is it? i saw the picture, didn’t really notice anything out of the ordinary.
A nice roll of fly paper strip.
Dear BDN readers I am so inspired by this story and so I got thinking if her why not me so maybe because I also have been traumatized recently by eating some potato chips from WalMart that it turned out were not only not organic like I like but even tasted a bit stale that now is the time for me to take a vacation also only I don’t want to go to Florida (because there’s some sort of warrant there for me for fraud only of course I’m innocent) so I want to go to a really nice place like Monaco because I’ve never been there and the hotels there cost about $800 a day plus about $4,000 for air fare first class and I’m going to need a nice car when I’m there so that’s about $25,000 and I hate to cook so restaurants are going to cost a lot also and with entertainment and stuff like that for a year I’m going to need about $85,000 plus maybe $10,000 to keep my 18-room house in Maine nice and warm while I’m gone so the cat is happy and hiring someone to water my plants and I guess I’ll round it out at $100,000 is what I need so please send me the money as soon as possible because I really need to get out of Maine and enjoy a break from this place with all these trashy Mainers who are always making up stupid excuses why they don’t have any more money and other stuff to give me.
What a crock of Sheads Spread!!!!!
I would like to say for the record that is considered Defamation of Character I have never sued anyone I have not spoken to a lawyer or even heard form one I did not ask for multiple donations and the site had been shut down I was not looking for any money from this and i never received a refund from my purchase i was simply making my friends and family aware of what i had found and that was discusting and it has blown up to this I have recieved hate mail and demeaning comments about me and who i am because of the adding in of a website I signed up for go check it out thousands of people are on there for hundreds of reasons It was in no relation to what happened to me and my daughter
But you still can’t seem to find the “.” (period) key on your keyboard.
I certainly hope that the Paris PD or Oxford SO, initiates a fraud investigation of which you are the prime suspect in this incident.
Never spoken to a lawyer?
You might want to consider it.
Be honest I was ROTF reading the description 8-9 pieces of maggot laden chicken being munched down and……. that realization …”I had to eat half the bucket to get to the Maggot family Gathering” good god…if this was true …mama was H-U-N-G-R-Y. I always look at what Im tossin in my mouth. (I threw in some ……. FO’ FREE).
Hmmmm, fishey, and I don’t mean the smell.
the only reason i go to wal-mart is to get ammunition.
not prepared by them.
and made in america.
Has anyone warned Josh Beckett, John Lester and John Lackey and the rest of the dugout gang about this? What next….flat beer being sold at Lou’s Beverage Barn?
That was Chicken and Rice …..(LOL) In all seriousness . Aint no darn way this happend . Nope …hate Walmart ya want but there is no way . I don’t work there …I shop there and im a germaphobe …ALL GOOD IN WAL-Hood . I might have showed the maggots instead of this MEAN LOOKIN lady . Get a Job ! Wal-Marts HIRING !
Ate that much on the way to the park??? Thinking it’s simply someone looking for a quick get rich scheme. Begging for money for a Florida vacation and for propane for while they’re not even home??? Odd that inspectors found nothing! I’d LOVE too see this all be a hoax that spins and costs her!!!
if you gotta beg for vacation $, maybe you should concentrate more on basic necessities!
I believe her, have worked at that dump too, and flies fly around the deli ALOT.
Can’t imagine how this happened…If walmart says they take there food from freezer cook it and put it into the hot plate bins then there’s no way this could have happened. Even if one person overlooked something there is usually at least two to three people working in the deli at all times…I think people would have noticed something crawling in the food..or all the other customers that day would have noticed something you would think. The food is put into bins and is visible threw a glass window so everyone can see what they are buying and what they want. Seems weird that no one else saw anything or had anything wrong with there food that day. I think the maggots crawled into her food at the park. Walmart atleast the one I go to. Is pretty good about food preperation. cleanleness and everything. Only way I can see this happening is that someone at walmart whoever prepared the food used a dirty bin, or it happened at the park. Y not ask to check the cameras at walmart and see if you can see the preperation on the food for that day..make sure they prepared it the way they said they did. The cameras at my work are really good at seeing eveything you are doing…thats what I would do if I knew that I did nothing wrong and if I knew they didn’t come from the park…
If she wants to make a fast buck, she should be on “Fear Factor” – she’s already eaten rotten chicken and maggots!
