4 O. ?3 v. L. X$ a5 A7 j It is a very good topic. As a Chinese, we have our way to do things. It is seemed normal that you pick the vege you buy since you paied for them. In China, who does not pick their food when they go shopping. it is all depend on the situation. Here there is not a lot of people to pick the vege upsidedown to find the best of all. Here, in general ( I am not talking about indevidual case) , the culture setting is different. We are not talking about which one is better or worse. Just we are here. It is for our own good not to offand others and respect their settings ( or rules). This way every body is happy. After all we are the new comers. Do not just focus on the little sport. We are here and we want to be accepted ( no offense). Too bad I can not type Chinese. Hopefully it will make sense. 6 b/ R5 d* }" e) c
Have you ever been working in a grocery store? I've been in Safeway as a produce clerk for like a year and half. Picking up the one you want to buy, this is customer's basic right. There are only two situations most customer will not pick:9 n" `0 ~9 _/ r, E$ w
1, all the stuff available is fresh and good looking, so there is no need to pick.3 O# e$ m$ X( E( @" e! N
2, there are not many left, you just simply can't pick.: t1 H4 A) r( M/ ^- I

But there is a rule in Safeway, we sell the best, so most of the time, everything on shelf is good. If in a box of strawberries, there is only one gone bad, we will throw the whole box away. In this way, we keep everything fresh. Even if we are short on supply, everything available will be in equal quality.

But most people will still pick, especially old ladies and house wives. We will make a very good shape for every display table every morning, but it won't even take 2 hours to destroy it, even it's so early, there are not a lot of people shopping around.
