This is the continuing of the apple saga. I see signs for the loose apples Grown in the USA I pick up the first apple and the tag says USA. I see Honey Crisp ones with the same sign pick one of thos ups, the green tag is covering the location they were grown. I peel back the tag. Argentina!!! I was done being Ms. Nice Gal, I took photos and later will call corporate.
I was talking to another customer and he said why not talk to the manager? I said I did. I talked to the produce manager twice and once to the store manager. It was suppose to be resolved. Now today same ole, same ole. So after three times and nothing has changed I need to make a call to corporate.
I mentioned to this customer about whole foods and the stuff they were pulling with their prices and overcharging customers. I had confidence that fresh market would not do something underhanded to thier customers. The gentleman I spoke to had not heard about Whole Foods troubles.
I think the thing that made me upset was the cover up! They covered where it was from, that is deceitful and now I am not trusting the other produce and what the sign says.

The first pic is clear the second not so clear I will be more careful in the future. I must admit I felt guilty taking the photos since I like people in this store, but clearly my complaint has gone unaddressed and I suspect it is the produce managers issue.
The good thing today that happened:
they were out of the brown eggs on sale today for $2.99. I arrived at 9:30 an hour after the store opened. One box was there with some eggs that looked like they had small cracks in them.
Tony, the manager, who I really like and is always willing to work with his customers was walking past me. I asked if I could get the $3.29 eggs for $2.99 since there would not be more coming in till the next day. I live a distance from FM and next week the sale would be over. He accomodated me.
My last pet peeve for today, no price tag? If they were on sale I would have purchased some but there was no price. I could have taken them to the register, then someone would have to put them back if they were not in my budget.
I love shopping at Fresh market, they consistently offer excellent customer service. We have just hit a few bumps in the road, a small chink in the displaying of products that needs to be addressed!
