Groceries have become expensive so if there is anything off with a product I WILL COMPLAIN

Harris teeter has the best produce hands down. I make a special stop there for my apples.

Stop lying. They have the worst - everytime I buy produce from them, within 2 days it's rotten. Stick to Costco and Wegmans. And also Lotte.

My current petty pet peeve related to this topic is spending the money at Wegmans only to have an obviously stoned teenage checkout person ignore the care and order with which I have loaded the belt and the minimal requests to put frozen and stuff in my cooler bags and meat in a separate bag. I end up with unthawed frozen food, smushed bread and produce, ground beef in the same bag as my boxed pantry items. Big downgrade from how things used to be there and makes me feel like a grumbling curmudgeon to write a letter to the store.

I think a banana costs more like $10.

I just wanted to repost this because you deserve the props.

Bag your own items if you are going to be like this - that's what I do.

DH is always returning spoiled meat. Recently we've had some spoiled the day or the day after purchase. It's insane. The chicken looks good but then we open the package and it's really bad.

Unthawed? So, frozen?

I like TJs but do not buy produce aside from bagged salads.

Produce like carrots, onion, tomatoes, all those regular stuff?
I've been going for years and never had anything spoiled.

OP Your statement in all caps reads like you’re going into a store hunting for bear.

Would it be hard for you to approach the situation with kindness? EVERYONE is experiencing hard times.

I'm gonna curmudgeon with you and agree that most checkout workers (and I don't shop at Wegman's so I mean, in general) have never been shown how to pack bags, or have been encouraged to pack bags as full and therefore as heavy as possible.

Of course, this issue is largely solved by not having any checkout workers and making everything self-checkout, like the Giant I use, where you can forget anything like customer service unless your self-checkout register screws up and locks until a staffer deigns to come by and unlock it.

I will say that Fresh Market employees do ask how I want things bagged and/or listen when I ask for the cold/frozen stuff to be in a bag separate from bread and dry stuff. Very nice there. It helps that the Fresh Market I"m using is never busy on weekdays when I shop there.
Curmudgeoning done.

Eh, you know what the PP meant. Don't leap on one typo.

Way to stick it to the man by picking on the grocery store employees who make minimum wage. Your ire is not misplaced at all, soggy banana complaints are going straight to the top!!
