Yesterday we bought a basket of peaches from the local farmers market. When we got them home, two of them turned out to be damaged and rotting, and had to be thrown away. I immediately reported the farm stand to the police, since they "stole" from me by charging me for a full basket when I didn't get a full basket that was edible. Why is this laughable? Because everyone knows that it's the nature of fresh produce to occasionally spoil, and a couple of bad pieces in a basket is not unusual. In fact, one of the reasons that produce is so much cheaper at these markets than at a grocery store is because the likelihood of a few bad pieces is accepted, and that the price reflects that fact. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@shelbynet.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
