It's like 20% empty shells! WTF! So I look under the bag hoping to find the holy grail of de-shelled pistachio heaven... But nothing!

This is Pistaccio Gate out in the open. Now I have to look over my shoulders.

Update: the bag after this one has not yet produced the same disparate amount of empty shells. It must have been a fluke!.... Or so I think!

I'm not sure where you buy pistachios but Costco and many other stores in America seal them at set weights.

    Bulkbarn in Canada, maybe? But that's weird to do imo.

    If I saw someone handling every single pistachio and setting some back after getting their booger hooks on them I would complain to the store.

    Same. I'd probably complain to the person directly.

    Maybe I'd even stick my hands in their nutsack bag of shelled pistachios before they purchase them to see if they like their nuts being fondled handled by strangers.
