Sad. I actually have briefly contemplated being a shopper. BUT, for
one thing, I wonder about things like the following:

If a person wanted some specific produce items, and I thought they were
in suboptimal condition, would that person still want the item or should
I just not get it? How would a second party make any such judgment?

Or what if I thought a type of produce was best at stage A, but the
person whose order it was preferred stage B? Would I even know about
the customer's preference?

Can shoppers contact the people whose orders are being filled?
