PLEASA DO’NA SQUEEZA DA TOMATOS - Some years ago, one of my close friends had the
unfortunate job of Produce Manager at one of the Bay Area Supermarkets and I was
often amused at his hair pulling tales regarding some of his "favorite” customers
who insisted upon squeezing approximately 90% of the more delicate fruits & veg
etables in their endeavors to get the most for their money. Prime targets those
days as well as now, were tomatoes, advocados and cucumbers. Now that I am on
the receiving end of such prentices, I can readily see why my friends hair thin-r
ned out at such an early age’ It is a shame that a small minority of our patrons
insist upon applying a deadly Judo Hold on a piece of delicate fruit or vegetable
(I believe it is called "Gouging” in Judo and it appears to be quite appropriate
under the circumstancesO. Under normal conditions it requires less than an hour
for items thusly handled to be entirely unfit for sale and yet this same item
could have a normal shelf life of two days and still be appealing to the eye as
well as the taste. One can readily determine the firmness of delicate fruits &
vegetables with a gentle caress as well as the "Thumbs in" method - We earnestly
solicit your support and are sure your neighbor will likewise appreciate it.

order forms are available at the butcher shop and normally it is, desired to allow
