If so, you might want to rethink that a bit. Sunflower Market used to be my favorite place to buy produce in Albuquerque. When I first heard this story on the news before they had it tested, I thought the woman just bought some spoiled yogurt and was making a big deal out of nothing. I didn't know it was actually a food sample being handed out at the store. Am rethinking eating those now....

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A 31-year-old Albuquerque man accused of giving his semen disguised as a free yogurt sample may face a battery charge for the incident, police say.

Albuquerque police said DNA tests showed Sunflower Market employee Anthony Garcia gave his semen to a female customer disguised as a free yogurt sample, and police sources said the man may have tried the same thing at a different Sunflower location.

Investigators said Garcia offered a female customer a sample of what he said was Greek yogurt, but she called the police. The police did a DNA test and now, Garcia may face a battery charge.

Police said that another allegation has been waged against Garcia after the first victim accused him of passing off semen as yogurt.

And, if that wasn't bad enough trouble for the company...

Health food grocery Sunflower Market is in the news again for employees' alleged sexual crimes— this time the company's CEO arrested for child prostitution charges.

Arizona investigators say 52-year-old Michael Gilliland was arrested at a Phoenix hotel Thursday afternoon.

Phoenix police say Gilliland arranged to meet who he thought was an underage girl online. Investigators say he even agreed to pay her for sex.

Earlier this week, Albuquerque police confirmed to KOB Eyewitness News 4 DNA samples proved a worker at the Sunflower Market on Corrales near Alameda put his own semen in a yogurt sample he gave to a female customer.

Charges are pending against him.

One article just says he was caught up in a sting operation using a policewoman.

This is too bad - Sunflower is one of my all time favorite markets, even though I don't get there very often.

I'm more interested in the CEO story.
Crap.

this is so typical of men. men should not be allowed to work in public places and should always be directly supervised by women. when women rule the world this kind of thing will never happen.

Maybe, but what about that story about a woman clerk giving a "napkin" to a customer eating a sample?

Sorry, that is most likely an urban legend.

In order to likely get HIV even from a carrier you need to work at it kind of hard for a period of time.

Let see hepatitis virus is roughly ten times easier to get then the HIV virus for example so shallowing some sperms cells is very very low risk indeed.

See the CDC for more details.

http://www.sfaf.org/hiv-info/transmission/

HIV can enter the body during unprotected sex.
Anal or vaginal intercourse without a condom carries a high risk for HIV transmission. Getting penetrated without a condom by someone who is HIV positive is the riskiest behavior for HIV infection. Penetrating an HIV positive person without a condom has less risk than being the penetrated partner, but is still considered risky. Getting HIV from oral sex is possible, but quite rare.

There you go gushing like a giggling gertie over the unlikelihood of smegma instead of congratulating the lady on her eye-poppingly discerning palate.

In answer to your question, Butrflynet, yes, I have eaten some of those free samples from time to time ...

But in the future .... nah, I don't think so!
I think my free sampling days might have just ended.
