I went to the market today to buy a few fresh produce including some strawberries. So I picked here some celery, lemon, ginger, a lettuce, and there a pear, a couple of oranges and needed a few strawberries. I could help myself for everything but for the strawberries, as they are highly protected, you cannot touch them, so you have to ask what you want. Fair enough… By the way, the same imported berries that I usually buy at Donald’s Market for 2.99/lb is here at 5.99.
So I asked the lady to give me 1 lb of strawberries and she gave me, from under the counter, a pound of rotten fruits. I told her that they were rotten and I wanted fresh, nice strawberries. But she kept telling me how much I owe her. I said no. I do not want those strawberries I want the ones that are nicely displayed because they are not rotten and she was then telling me “good” pointing at the ones she wanted to sell me.
“Good? NO! No good! Look, they are totally rotten!” I said. So she exchanged a rotten one for a good one of the 9 strawberries that I wanted to buy and asked me to pay again. “No! I said, they are all bad, please, give me good strawberries!!!” So she removed a second one and exchanged it to a second good one and asked me to pay again…. I had to go over and over in order to have ok strawberries…I was so mad, and she was yelling at me in a language that I could not understand.
They are really desperate to sell their produces. A little bit of professionalism, a smile and the commitment to sell quality will be very beneficial to the market. In general, the large majority of the produce is imported and they are available in any other grocery store at a fraction of the price. So please stop being rude, and in your prices include, quality, courtesy and freshness.
I guess you meant “fight” and not “fit”, did you?
