Avoid ordering Fruits At Grocery Stores
Now what could possibly be wrong with ordering fruit at a grocery store? Well, very simple, you are placing your entire trust in the honesty of the vendor. You see, now he can go to the place, and is able to hike up the price to whatever level he wants. For example, just recently, I ordered some peaches and the fellow charged me $2.50 per peach.
That means that I paid 50 dollars for twenty peaches some of which are on the verge of rotting and will have to be discarded into the trashcan.
Also, when we choose the fruit ourselves, we avoid purchasing rotten fruits. They? They apparently don't give a rat's fat ass long as they can charge the fee.
He also hiked up the price of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs to six dollars per can. Now, usually, five dollars per can is considered a high price, and most vendors have the decency to charge far less. But this guy? This guy has no such scruples.
Which meant that my order for twenty cans amounted to 120 dollars. Then he had the audacity to add insult to injury by claiming that he was charging six dollars per can because the cans were larger. Which of course is a blatant lie. Apparently, he assumes that I am unfamiliar with a product which I have been consuming my entire life.
Seems that ridiculous assumption is based on cultural ignorance. You see, being an immigrant from India, he very possible doesn't know how well-known this product is, and so assumes that most people are not too familiar with it either. So he can claim that there are smaller sizes which cost five dollars per can.
Actually, this was my fault for getting caught twice since on the previous order a few days before, the fellow he assigned to pick up the items, returned saying that I needed to fork over an additional twenty dollars. After I paid the extra twenty, he smiled gloatingly at me from behind the counter as if he had accomplished his mission.
In short, by sending people to pick up the items for us, we expose ourselves to all kinds of nasty, dishonest antics motivated by human avarice.
So IMHO, it is much better to fetch the items ourselves and avoid the extra expenses and the frustration involved in being treated like an ignoramus by recently-arrived immigrants to the USA hell bent on getting rich at our expense.

Rotten or overripe fruit

Half empty boxes of Strawberries
Overcharging on canned Goods
You can clearly see that they dipped into the boxes and took a generous portion of the strawberries for themselves. Out of four boxes I had purchased, only one was full. Possibly charged me ten dollars per box as opposed to the five charged at the Amish market.
