"I figured the prices were cheap because the selection is all C-grade bok choy and yesterday’s bananas."
Literally from the start of the article. You and many others might not think like the author but there is a segment of the population who does.
- jimmywanger 10y agoI was replying to your comment that marketing was going to "solve the problem". See my comment above about how Chinese culture is food savvy and value conscious. Increasing prices won't increase profit, it will just decrease sales to very low levels, while people laugh and move on down to the next stall.
- kelukelugames 10y agoInteresting, because I assumed: "That's incorrect. Cheaper produce is generally known to be the best produce. For instance, it's summer in the northern hemisphere right now. You can't turn around without running into a ripe stonefruit (peach, plum, apricot). Because the local trees are bearing right now, not only do you get high quality produce, but you get it for cheap because there's a glut of supply. But if you want an orange, you settle for an expensive, tasteless orange flown in from Chile, cause it's winter down there and that's when oranges become ripe." was a response to "People like the author believe produce is cheaper because of poor quality." but okay whatever you say.
