i worked in the produce dept. at a grocery store for 5 years. not only did we not stop a customer from breaking bags of grapes and cherries or bunches of bananas, but we told them they could do it. you either put the grapes/cherries you don't want in another package, or get a produce bag and put what you want in that one and leave the rest. it's not just ok to do it, it's expected.
So, you think I SHOULD take the non-credit stand-up comedy course from my local community college?LadyBella said:you need to be writing everybody's come backs from now on

I'd have no problem asking for their phone number, saying as soon as my shock wears off at their audacity, I'll be happy to contact them with a proper responseTo the banana busting protester, I would have said, "Those four bananas will surely go to a good home, don't worry about them."
To the calcium stealing advisor, "I have an over abundance of calcium, and have to drink a few of these a day."
Well, I might not have thought that quickly at the time. I am good at coming up with retorts two or three hours later.![]()
I am always careful when I do it, but I only want 4 bananas at a time, so I always break.
.49lb is our normal price, when it hits .29lb I get extra and freeze for muffins .
I always split banana bunches. I usually get a couple of ripe and a couple of greenish ones. I must be particularly evil because yes...I open bags of grapes or cherries and split them, too. If there are ones in the bag I don't want, over ripe or under ripe..yep, I leave them. These fruits are sold by the pound, no minimum required at my grocery store. I also open the ears of corn so I can see if they are going to be tender or tough. I guess I am a grocer's nightmare.![]()
