>>22052094 That answers why they sell it with the end on but not why they sell it by the pound. Why not by the spear? By the bundle? Or by a seemingly arbitrary amount that we can also complain about?
>>22052135 if it was per spear you'd pay more. if it's 5.99/lb and you only take one spear you're only paying like 40 cents and you know theyd charge more than 40 cents per spear if they charged per spear you know most people dont know that you dont have to take the entire bag/bundle when something is sold by weight. you can just pick what you want and leave the rest behind.
>>22052149 i do this with broccoli because I'm not paying for the inedible core. i used to be a produce wagie so i can do whatever i want to any produce in the world.
>>22052135 Because weight is a uniform measure of quantity. Some spears will be shorter or longer, some bundles will contain more or fewer.
>>22052088 If you only bought tips the price per weight would be adjusted so that you pay the same. They're not selling you inedible parts, the weight of the inedible parts drives the entire cost down
Have you finished elementary school? These answers should be obvious to anyone with even a vague understanding of weight/volume
>>22052135 >Why not… By the bundle? There are multiple Theys here and while most Theys sell by weight or mass, I've seen some Theys sell by the bundle. >>22052141 >5.99/lb What fair trade, organic, locally sourced, harvested by the Shaolin Monks of Boise superfood asparagus are you buying there, Rockefeller? That shit is literally a third that price more after being $1.49/lb for an eternity. >>22052088 Buy it frozen, then.
>>22052149 They'll probably just ban you from the store for fucking with merchandise before you pay if they keep noticing you or do it in front of some tryhard manager.
>>22053311 2/3 of those complaints only matter if you're poor, and I'm not in the business of smelling my pee for very long before flushing it so what's the issue?
>>22053311 Reek of wonder, god I love asparagus urine smell. Not gonna drink it, no, not ever, I promise. Got in trouble at work for buying the case of asparagus before letting customers buy any
>>22052088 there's no need to throw half of the asparagus away. trimming one or two inches is usually more than enough, and you can always use the scraps for a vegetable broth.
>>22053814 Not on a scale it doesn't you big stinky retard, because the weight is so negligible that it wouldn't increase the reading on any scale a cheesemonger uses. Think before posting for once in your life.
>>22053682 >want 2 tomatoes >there are only tomatoes in clusters of 5-6 >separate two tomatoes >some autist not affiliated with the store stims up to me >ERRM DAT IS NOT EFFICAL TO SEPARDATE DA TERMATOERS!! WE LIVE IN A SOCIETYYYY!!! >explain to him very calmly that i only want 2 tomatoes, and by separating these 2, i leave a 3-cluster for someone else who only wants 3 >remind him that the produce associates are highly trained and will rotate the tomatoes so that loose one and older ones are up front and on top, making them easy to select >remind him that shrink does not affect the price of produce for the customer and never has >show him how to select a bottle of iodine supplements to help soothe his fits of childish behavior and stimming >he thanks me for the assistance and now has enough confidence to get a girlfriend this actually happened to me.
