Default Amazon and Bezos mixing old apples from Washington with new ChileanOrganic Imports in Whole Foods

Shame on zillionaire Bezos for pulling this stunt. I looked for new apples in the produce area and they mixed 9 month old Raneirs with new Chile apples.

Correct. but in this case,Bezos was criticized for the problem. I really
doubt he put the apples out. Silly to blame him. Bitch to the manager
if you want results.

I don't think this is anything new. I rarely buy produce from them because a
lot of it, at least at my store, does not look fresh.

And you think you've got it rough? I only like Mackintosh apples. What is rough is later on in the season, you buy Macks, but get something different. I can't stand it. I really can't stand it.

I stick with my old favorite apples mostly...Red Delicious. Good
for eating raw and I like them best in the rare apple pie. Worst
apple pie I ever made (and the only bad one ever) was when I used
those damn bitter Granny Smith apples.

Many seem to like those but I sure don't. The unripe other apples
taste better to me.

No offense to Dave if the GS came from his mom or gramma.

Then the granny smiths you get were picked unripe. There are lots of
apple orchards in upstate NY. I can walk to some. During apple season
I can buy several types direct from the orchards, all perfect. The
orchards also sell drops for cooking and cider... the damage is
slight, can easily be pared away, and they are typically half price by
the bushel. I have no favorite apple, I enjoy them all so I buy a
selection. We buy fruit in season so we don't buy those bagged apples
at market out of season, they are waxed and old.
