returned/exchanged items in a grocery store


Holy mackerel ! What a concept !

It would never occur to me to return fresh produce to a grocery store !


for my store it's a simple 1:1 exchange. you bring in an unsatisfactory product and you can just grab a new one no charge or get your $$ back w/ a receipt, no questions.
produce is easily the most returned/exchanged.

but veggies?


Fresh green vegetables are probably the most seasonal, labor-intensive, and perishable items in the store.


Nah, that's definitely compound berries. Raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, will have mold on them often even before they are put on the shelf. But they move in such high volume, and are often on sale enough that it only affects maybe 20% of sales. Still very high for mold content.

I think chives and spring onions taste a little different, still.
I have sometimes planted the root end of store-bought spring onions where I had chopped off the top: those have grown lengthwise but never recovered their width. Maybe I should cut off only the top third before planting?

The VAT on food here in Sweden was reduced a few weeks ago as a way to reduce the impact of the ongoing oil crisis, but the actual price reduction for consumers wasn't that large and on some goods none at all where stores didn't bother to relabel their goods. The lower VAT is only supposed to be temporary, so I expect the prices to rise more afterwards to levels higher than if there hadn't been a VAT reduction at all ...

Yeah, I use spring onions (basically chive) in every japanese, thai or chinese dish I make for my family. Small bundle is £1 here in Scotland.
If I use 2-3 in a dish, its pretty expensive for just an addition/extra ingredient.
Jesus, I hate to see how food prices go up here. Seriously, I know it happens everywhere, but its really bad.
OK, they should raise prices for sweets or fuzzy drinks, which are not healthy - if you want it, pay for it, but veggies?
I also hate what Asda (local shop) did with veggies - about 2 years ago they stopped putting dates on them, so basically, when I buy a bundle of white onions (3), 1 out of 3 is bad, unusable. But you cannot tell that when you are picking them. Same for tomatoes - we use them on sandwiches, but thing is, if they alreayd half bad when you are buying them, then they go bad in a day in our fridge. Its a roulette buy veggies here :(

Another person late to the thread. I found your project from the QMK repo, it looks amazing! If you are willing to do another run of PCBs I would be more than willing to buy 3 of them (5 if you need to make the numbers work).

Just painful to look at,

This is a mini pc with 2 yr old chips for $1160.

A laptop of this config with a 3K oled is usually less than that.

Tp4's walmart special desktop from 2 years back with 7900gre + amd 7700, 32gb+2TB was $1000 flat. 

It might be somewhat acceptable if they let you overclock the hell out of it to the tune of 300watts and ddr6000, but as is, what's the point.
