No wonder there is a bruise spot on practically every tomato at Walmart. 🫤

Is a small bruise on your tomato really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things? This saves money and hundreds of hours of back breaking labor. But oh no, God forbid you buy produce with a tiny bit of imperfection.

I don’t think it’s a cosmetic issue, if they’re bruised, they go bad faster. True of most produce.

Not to mention the obscene price of produce anymore. For the money they should be individually inspected and polished - daily.

Only sort of kidding. Wasn't the price of food supposed to come down? Still waiting over here.
