So I just returned from the WalMart on 441 that is close to TV schools - I assume this is the one being referred to as the Oxford store. Really had a craving for strawberries and was quite happy when I saw the produce clerk stocking the shelf with fresh boxes of strawberries - NOT. Out of the at least 50 boxes he put out I finally found one that didn't have mostly bruised and mushy berries. I mentioned it to him and he could have cared less - didn't want to waste my time looking for a manager to point this out to.
Then I went to WinnDixie to get another box of berries and was faced with a similar situation except I don't know when they were stocked. I know this is hard to believe, but all this came about because this morning when I was preparing the 2lb box of berries I purchased at Sams the other day a very strong chemical smell was detected when I cut into them. I did call Driscolls on this because I was concerned since I fed several of them to my dog before I realized there was a problem. She advised me how this happens, assured me they would not hurt the dog, took my information, where I purchased them, and the numbers of the box to identify the shipment. Was quite impressed with they way the handled the situation.
So I am down on WalMart be they on 441, 466 or the moon. Produce left much to be desired and it is too difficult to negotiate the store. Back to Publix and the crowds!
