I hope she told the store manager that the returned ones were not okay.

Once, about 20 years ago. I really had a taste for watermelon so I went past a grocery store to go to this produce market. Got the watermelon home, it looked good and about an hour later I decided to cut it. It was a soggy, mealy, mushy mess! I was so angry that I put it in a box and took it back for a refund. No apology or anything.

Places like Costco require you to return SOMETHING from the bad fruit back. Seriously. The told me on another watermelon I had that was all mush on the inside that I needed to bring back something, even if it is just a peice of rind or seeds. I thought they were joking. They were not. I didn't understand this because I had the receipt. It clearly showed I bought the watermelon there and I think in the 8 years I've been a member I've only returned maybe 3 things. Strange.

watermelons really are the hardest in terms of getting a decent one. My husband used to be a produce guy in a big grocery store and knows how to pick good ones most of the time but even he has picked a few duds over the years. They are nasty too.

I have such a weakness for them, but when it comes to peaches, I find it hard to determine how ripe they are. I will return and have returned bad meat.
I love fresh peaches and I've had the same problem lately! I know exactly what you mean when you say pulpy inside. I choose peaches that look beautiful and feel ripe but then I cut into them and yuck!

Yes, with the price of fruits and vegetables these days, I absolutely return bad produce.

I've had that experience and reaction with chicken. Haven't done anything with produce yet.

I throw bad fruit in the freezer and return at my convenience.Food is expensive and greater care needs to be taken by stores to rotate and not over purchase.

No, I've never returned anything to the grocery store. I pitch it. I seldom keep any receipts so even if I wanted to probably could not.

Yes. I bought a bag of oranges that were very hard to peel and were sour. They gave me double my money back.
