Amazon isn't even a Food Retailer in the strictest sense of the word.
Amazon started out as a bookstore, you do realize that, right?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon.com#History

"Bezos finally decided that his new business would sell books online,
due to the large world-wide demand for literature, the low price points
for books, along with the huge number of titles available in print.[20]
Amazon[21] was originally founded in Bezos' garage in Bellevue,
Washington.[22]"

Well... now they're an online megastore. They cannot possibly guarantee
you're going to get fantastic, fresh produce ordered through them
online. They're a third party vendor. Amazon doesn't employ farm
workers to pick the produce for you and deliver it to your door.

So sorry about the house painting issue but you said yourself it was
raining and delayed. Surely *someone* in the household could have gone
out and bought decent produce.

This isn't the first time you've mentioned disappointment with things
ordered from Amazon.com. I doubt it will be the last. (sigh)
