I've noticed in the last year or so our produce quality has dropped. I've started shopping at competitors because of this issue. I swear our store gets last pick from the warehouse and the oldest product where at my other location we got good product. Other customers have been noticing as well and have stopped buying.
It certainly is in the Local 1996 Atlanta GA area. Customers will from time to time complain. I buy my produce at the local Publix-the quality is better and I have never had an issue with it
