I worked at a grocery store for several years. Want to make your job easier? Transfer to produce. Most people don't bother with fruits or veggies, and those who do usually get them from the frozen section.

If anyone asks you a question there's a 95% chance they're a mystery shopper.

If they ask where the raspberries are, or why the strawberries are not fresh, its me.

Seriously, one of my local stores will sell strawberries after they start going bad. They last like 2 days, tops. And the raspberries; good luck, those overpriced bits of delicious ruby are worth all the pain I put myself through.

I prefer blueberries, although they do have a strong effect,on the color of my poop. Seriously. If you want green poo, eat a few handfuls of fresh blueberries. If you want black poo, eat a lot of them. Might come in handy if you ever want to convince someone you have internal bleeding...

Mmmmm, raspberries!! I'm fed by a tube to bypass my broken stomach and can't eat without vomiting but I fucking love raspberries and give zero fucks that I throw them up a few hours later (hell, I get to taste them twice! It's a bonus really.)

I got so sick of paying the ridiculous prices for a tiny punnet at the supermarket that I eventually made my husband plant 5 canes of our own. Best decision ever!!

(Although we quickly learned to keep super fine mesh over them to keep the fucking wasps and birds from destroying them!)

They're even more amazing when home-grown. I thought I loved them before but I'm basically an addict now we grow our own!

I make an amazing raspberry coulis and cream cheese frosted cake too, it's the perfect mix of rich, creamy, slightly sweet and tart. Especially when you drizzle extra coulis over each slice just before eating it *drools*.

My husband has been a type 1 diabetic since he was a little kid and can't stand anything super sweet, especially cakes. When I came up with the coulis cake for his birthday last year it was the first time I ever saw him go back for a second slice. I was pretty pleased with myself!!

It's truly heavenly though. Fresh, homemade raspberry coulis is to die for!!

I planted a bunch of berry bushes out back... aside from the constant bee harassment, I am drowning in that shit.

I highly recommend it.

Strawberries however are actual work, and take 2 years or so to pay out properly.

Can confirm. Worked produce for a couple years. Soooo much better than front end. Go in the back, chop some shit up. Stock fruits and veggies. No one bothers you. Plenty of eye bleach around as well just in case.
