I would've just asked her to pick faster. I don't care if she needs to touch every single one. I can wash, or not wash, a zucchini as needed. But I shouldn't have to stand there waiting for her to decide. If you can't select a zucchini among 50 of them within 30 seconds, then step back so someone else CAN - then you can return to your inspections.
I am a VERY impatient grocery shopper. I want everyone out of my way so I can barrel through. The only times I make a fuss, honestly, is when it comes to citrus fruits. I absolutely check around 5-10 of the nicest "looking" ones to see which of them is the heaviest. I learned years ago that if you pick the heaviest of 5 fruits of the same size, then you will have picked the juiciest.
