Shopping for Produce
One component of member satisfaction is receiving fresh, undamaged produce. Seasoned shoppers find success when doing the following:
Check produce carefully for potential damage such as cuts and bruises.
Look for member notes on items such as preferred produce ripeness. If a store only has unripe or overripe items, consider asking the member whether they still want the requested item.
Choose produce with the furthest expiration date available.
Utilize the plastic bags provided in-store to keep produce items separate from meat or chemical-based household items.
Avoiding stacking other items on top of produce while shopping or delivering.
