Yes, same problem with BJ's on *some things* so we learned to be careful. I
get the impression if you are on a major access for food transport, this
isnt as well noticed but if you are an off laying area of the highways
(google for Norfolk VA and you'll see we arent a major route for much, more
an outbound one for seafoods etc and sea shipping), you tend to have more
notable problems with fresh veggies.

It's pretty much like a truck has to divert from Richmond VA to us. Oh we
are big enough that that happens, but the low end scale places get the stuff
that is almost dead by that spot and wouldnt last til NY city etc. The
higher end spots use either local produce or pay to get the same level as
what NY/CT etc get diverted over to here.

Less than 40,000 people were surveyed. This tells me, probably not one
person in my area since only 3 of the stores they mention are local and one
of the bottom ones is actually very good here.
