vent! I splurged on $2 avocados at whole foods and they're crap!

Return it or go to customer service. Anytime I've had an issue with their products they give me a refund or a replacement. Easy peasy.

Yup, take them back. $2 is way too much to just throw them away.

You waited way too long.

Avocados are like a 2-3 days MAX wait-time food. Longer than that and you will get exactly what you describe.

The good news is that WF's customer service is top-notch, and they will gladly give you a refund. Just don't wait so long next time!

The one time I tried to go to Giant for avocados, the avocados were so old and overripe they had literally split open right there on the table and were leaking avocado goo everywhere. It was vile.

I guess you go to a shitty giant then? Not sure what to tell you.

Let them ripen on the countertop and then stick them in the fridge for 2 or three days until you're ready to use them.

no, but i've had those meaty avocado monsters (the color of the avocado I got was light like the fl ones but these looked like regular sized ones)

Call them and tell them. They may offer you a credit by phone or mail you a gift card. I did this once with Giant (for out of date frozen food) and they were really good about it. I'd wager a guess that Wholefoods woudl be good too.

BTW, I have returned an avocado before. To Marvelous Market. They were really good about it too and quite apologetic.

which ones are the fake ones?

I would request a refund on both. What have you got to lose? Besides $2.

[Anonymous]

I always return stuff to whole foods without my receipt.

[Anonymous]

I always buy avocados a little unripe, and let them ripen on my counter so that I can check to see when they are best. A little old lady in a Hispanic store once told me that the way to check is to press it. It should feel like your nose, soft with a firm core, not like your cheek (too soft) or your forehead (too hard)

When you return the rotted avocados do you mind also returning some rotted peppers for me? They're wrapped.

[Anonymous]

Yes, march right into that WF and demand your $2!
