So everyone knows that the cost of feed has shot up lately, so I came up with the brainiac idea that I'd sell a few dozen eggs to keep myself in organic feed, plus a few people have asked me if I'd sell them eggs. Now mind you I only have seven chickens so we're talking a few dozen a month at most.
My problem is with one particular "customer." I've had a really difficult time managing expectations. They'd like me to just come up with several dozen eggs on demand and as much as I've tried to explain that it doesn't work like that it's not sinking in. And everyone else who buys eggs from me totally gets that they get to buy them when I've got them, and they're perfectly fine with that-actually they're more than fine, they're thrilled to have eggs from me.
So my not so tactful tongue nearly said "What do I look like, clucking Costco?" But I managed to just shut up and smile.
I'm starting to think that it was a bad idea to sell them at all.... Hellllllllllp!!!!!!
