This came up recently becuase of olympics.vch,said they don't have enough inspectors to handle vancouver. In toronto, grocery, corner, rest.don't have a inspection schedule.inspectors randomly inspect sites and post results in the window.places that get conditional pass, as a result of the sign, lose customers. Ie.lowblas that was forced to shut down in TO.I remeber when I was in TO,they shut down 6 chinese rest. In toronto china town in a single day. Posted via RS Mobile | |

done and done. | Lies... Went to the SFU farmers market last summer and you should see some of the shit they tried to pass off as "fresh" produce.
I can tell you from experience, farmer's markets only sell "local" produce when local is in season, ie june to september, weather permitting. And even then, because of cost of operations, imported veggies from Calif can at times be cheaper than locally grown veggies.

T&T is a bit more honest about it. They have a rack full of old, spoiled produce that they sell "as is" in the corner. I don't even want to look over there although I do imagine the sort of people that would make a purchase from it.
How much of a cheapass do you have to be to buy spoiled food?

How much of a cheapass do you have to be to buy spoiled food? | T&T actually generally has good quality produce at fantastic prices. I don't buy much else there. But I can't complain at all about their fruit and veggies.
And yeah I can't imagine who would buy the rotting crap either. That's sad.
