And then put it back on the shelf. Ive seen lots of people do this normally older people. I think its the hight of rudness to maul bread about and then not buy it.
I saw one old lady do this last week with the loafs I buy I had to go right to the back before I found one that was not mishaped.

This old dear was squeezing it like an Acordian.
yeah i think thats why they squeeze it
Apparently if the bread is hard, it's stale.
Reach into the back of the shelf and you will get a fresher loaf
Do the same for milk as well.
haha same my mum does it as well
to see how fresh the fecking bread is
is it me or what?
....or toast...:p
I've had loaves out of the supermarket that were well in date but that turned out to be covered in blue mould.
Do you notice that they still stay soft even though there's mould? God knows what they put in it these days.
That was probably my mum..she does it all of the time
Sometimes they do but others they are hard as the country road :eek:
or crusty?
Plenty of people do this to test for freshness.
With mould inhibitors,flour treatments and other nasties, people tend to forget that proper bread is a living being and needs to be poked about to check to see if it is cooked properly or is fresh.
Most slice bread is also frozen before its put on the shelves,
They have the right idea abroad, bread is baked daily sometimes twice a day and its eaten the same day or thrown away.
I also feel fruit, and some veg like brocolli - trained by my Mother.:D
I also prod and sniff fruit.
