Story behind a Food or Drink entry!

A while ago, I was visiting my daughter Kamryn, and her fiancee, Mike.
At the time of this visit, I was participating in a SmugMug Daily Photo Community Weekly Challenge group.
The Challenge for that week was "SOOC Still Life".
Mike was going to the grocery store and while giggling, he suggested that I go with him and "bring your camera! Last time I was there I saw a display which you might want to photograph!"
OMG! As soon as he showed me this display back at the meat counters, I immediately told him of the challenge for that particular week!! Seriously.....can ya get more 'Still Life' than this!?
While LMAO, he went to finish his shopping, while I was changing the camera settings inbetween several shots. Mike had already checked out, put the bags in the car and couldn't figure out why it was taking me so long.
Well........the first Asst. Manager (who had stopped by to ask what I was doing) apparently went and gathered up some help and came back with the Manager, a female Asst. Manager AND the Security Guard!!
They had me surrounded, threatening me with several things, which included taking my camera (I DON'T THINK SO!!), possible arrest (!?!?) and/or physical escort our of the store immediately! And they were cranky!
Mike could barely contain himself!! He was envisioning walking in the door at home, and Kamryn asking, "Hi Honey....huummm....where's my Mom?"
"Oh, she got arrested! For taking pictures of a nude, headless chicken!"
(and BTW: it was a Hispanic grocery store.....and we were the only caucasians in there!)
The facts are that it didn't quite come to that, but almost!! They DID want us out of the store....NOW!
At first I told Mike that I wasn't sure I had the nerve (or whatever!) to use this as my submission for the photo challenge; as we were laughing on the way home, we decided that I now HAD to use this one because of the story!
P.S. Kamryn was soooo glad she didn't have to come bail me out!!
Re: photo info, the subject was in a glass-front refigeration case. A couple of days later, I also used this as a practice session for using some of the in-camera editing features, which I had never done before = SOOC.
That's the Story and I'm stickin' to it!! :wink

Maybe they were afraid she would post it on the internet and tell the story.
