Not just supermarket chains; corner shops playing the same game.

Got to let the market dictate the price.

I had to pull some geezer today. He picked up 4 packets of oranges with his hands all over them and not on the packet edges. He moves them from hand to hand and puts them back. I fronted him up and told him you can't do that, you can't just handle them like that and then put them back. He said sorry, sorry and pronptly picked them up again apologising once more. He also had a face mask on and was touching that as well.

I saw him at the checkout and he had his oranges with him still.

Moral of the story don't mess with the food when Thor is around.

How does one determine which kumquat to purchase without first touching it to determine its ripeness?

I'm guilty of both, how else do you tell if they're ripe?
