Terrific. I think if I had a business where I found out people
were hesitant to patronize because of an issue like that, I'd
make darned sure they got the best produce I could find. I like
that ripeness option, I often buy tomatoes, avocados, whatever in
different ripenesses so they're good on consecutive days.

For a time, I wasn't up to doing my own shopping, it would have
been a godsend if it was available to me, so I know what you
mean. Naturally, once I was back on my feet, that's when they
started offering delivery around here.
