Why do you even care? Why are you taking it personally? It's not like
she's doing it to personally inconvenience you and it's not like you are
being forced to purchase her rejects. And, if they truly are rejects, why
should she have to buy them? Just because you feel restrained from picking
and choosing doesn't mean everyone else has to. Or, is that what really
bothers you, that someone else chooses to exercise a little more freedom
than you feel comfortable with?

Now myself, I couldn't care less if someone wants to take the time to
rearrange a bunch of berries. Besides, if the berries were of such poor
quality and uniformity they require rearranging, I'd be looking elsewhere.

These little produce etiquette discussions always crack me up. I'm sure
this one is going to be just as entertaining.
