I have written a fair amount of reviews. Almost all my very best experiences I give 4 stars to and very rare is it 5. I always think something could be improved.

However, upon reaching home just a 15-minute drive away, I discovered that the pineapple was pale and sour upon tasting it. Disappointed, I promptly called the store hoping for a credit or a replacement. Unfortunately, the response from an older lady at the store was dismissive and rude, laughing stating it was not their responsibility to ensure the fruit's sweetness.
