I was looking at yellow squash and zucchini yesterday at Publix. It had
all been bundled and packaged on styrofoam trays then shrink-wrapped and
a price tag slapped on.

A. I don't *need* [e.g.] 6 yellow squash!
B. I like to select my own vegetables, thank you very much.

Why do grocery stores do this? IIRC they used to offer the trays as
well as loose squash to choose from.

Fortunately, there's a farm stand on St. Helena. I prefer to give
them my business, anyway. Unfortunately, they're only set up on Friday
and Saturday.
