39 Comments on Our new Harp's Grocery lied to me about ripe avocados....
Barbara,
Funny post! I hate hard avocados! I like to peel and slice them and eat them!
Carol, I forgot to say this to you. As I looked at that avocado I thought of you. I thought, "Carol would write a blog about that thing and make an interesting blog. I can't write as well as she does but I'm going to write one as best I can." So you were my inspiration....along with that baseball avocado.
Mary, you couldn't have eaten this one for a few days. Thanks for comments.
Just a bit of information from someone who is from the South born and raised and happens to also have worked in both Harps and Wal-mart produce dept. Alot of stores get those avocadoes with the tags on them that say ripe on them. They come like that. The stores clerks dont put those tags on them you moron! If you want to cry about avacodoes not being ripe yet think of it this way. If they came in ripe and soft they would go bad in a day or so. If they go bad fast then they have to order more all the time. This would make the price of them go up and also increase the odds of you getting a bad avocado. Think about it or do you just run off at the mouth like an idiot.
The produce clerk at Wal Mart is calling our Barbara an idiot? If you are such a mental giant why are you the clerk and not the manager? You probably don't know a tomato from a banana.
Barbara
Don't worry about this nut job he is jealous cuz you got some pretty nice tomatoes baby.
That last comment was me Barbara
WOW! From Barry and Produce Clerk and Raven! There are some strong feelings about avocados! I'm sorry, Produce Clerk, that I hurt your feelings about an incorrect label on an avocado. And Barry Bridges, thanks for sticking up for me! And Raven? Well, why are you here? Looks as if you are laughing at me!
I've never seen this label on another avocado since this silly blog, either in Harps or Wal-Mart or any other grocery store. Perhaps if they come in that way, clerks are now taking them off?
Barbara, point your cursor at Raven---you know she always has something to say:)
How funny!! I forgot to point to her. That's a good way to send a secret message. And she was laughing!!
Barbara, I'm craving avacados now! I love good guacamole!
Dear Mrs Barbara,
It was nice that Raven could posthumously lend support. As a former certifried fruit and vegetables manager I am a bit putout that this person would tie into you like that. I think perhaps that person's outlook might improve by drinking a bottle of prune juice, then wait 24 hours before posting again.
Your friend Nutsy
Nutsy, you ARE my good friend. And so is the commenter Barry Bridges. I need to meet him. I did laugh at drinking prune juice!!
Terri, one good thing about the person who was angry is that this blog became active again. It's an old blog and now has been revitalized! I want some avocado dip too!!!
Dear Mrs Barbara,
I used to be an avocado inspector. Actually, I was a certifried avocado inspector. I was looking through my old pictures and found this one. I wore the outfit, with the yellow safety stripes, so the pickers did not mistake me for a piece of fruit. Let your detractor feast on this expertise.
Nutsy
Charles and Steven and Nutsy, you guys crack me up! ROFLMAO.....is that the way you say it?
I'm inspired to write another blog about this incident so I think I'll just post it now. It needs to be featured, not because it's good but because it gives good advice!
And Charles, I'm so glad you have now come to grips with your loss! He's still working for you on the other side. Brilliant!!! True inspiration!!!!!!
I love that avocado tree picture. Being from the south, I'm not sure I've ever seen one. Perhaps once when I visited a friend in California who had one in the backyard? No. That was an artichoke tree! But Nutsy is better looking than an avocado!!!!
Mrs Barbara,
I will be eager to post at your new blog. Your friend Nutsy.
Please do, Nutsy!!
Raven, you really have conquered an area that Nutsy can't go until after the Q & B barbeque! We'll be watching for special warnings or tips!!
