This thread inspired me. I’m eating an apple with honey and have my Samsung phone with me.

Thanks. I am the fsrthest thing from a pot stirrer. Ive never contacted a company before, and ive had shit customer service in the past. Maybe being blasted directly in the ear holes with a screeching noise makes this one more personal.
Welcome to the family of Vizio products!
It is a sourcing problem. Life is too short to eat bad apples.
JIT problems require JIT solutions.
Can you return them to Amazon? Seems they sold you a bill of goods.
I think Mrs. Spider Crab should be forced to watch this entire song.

Or when she isn’t looking take it and throw it in the neighbors yard and claim to have eaten it.
The Budget email I sent this morning cc’ing the CEO already got a response that they are looking into it from a “Customer Advocacy Response Coordinator”, which sounds like something different from their typical customer service. I think it worked to at least get someone competent engaged.
In what world are you paying 20 cents for an apple?
Sounds like a compromise would be FIFO with individually bought apples.
Kindly point out that the thin bags you rip yourself are recyclable (they can go in with the grocery bags) but that giant monstrosity of a plastic bag she buys them in is not.
I mean, its one apple, how much could it cost?

$10?
spidercrab,
Just throw out the old apple or you’re always going to be eating old apples.

This. Your wife doesn’t need to know you throw away old apples, just do it. If she asks don’t deny it, just say “of course I throw out bad apples”.
Yeah, this works.
I’m the Mrs. Spidercrab of my house. Although I’m a few levels below as I am too lazy to go to go that far. I applaud her effort.
Anyway, my wife does exactly what Marksman suggests, and nothing happens other than my jimmies getting rustled.
To be fair to me, I did throw the last one away with no adverse consequences.

The job market seems unendingly rough right now. Im not sure if this is anger or just exasperation but watching my wife putting out multiple hundreds of resumes and getting essentially 0 response is a unique feeling of helplessness ive never had before. I don’t know a whole lot about what to do to help fix this, and as a fixer its really dragging on me. She has had resume reviews and revisions, she has stopped looking for any particular job and is now looking for literally any job in the field (CS, software eng, etc for anyone curious). Hell, she is considering getting her master’s degree becausd it might give her a leg up in the field. I am skeptical. When the job site lists the number of people who have applied we are seeing multiple hundreds to thousands of applications in the span of a day or two for nearly every position. At this point, it feels like the resume goes into a gigantic, never ending pile and she just has to get lucky to somehow land at the top of said pile to even get a chance. Imagine playing the lottery every single day just to get the exciting chance of being able to have a job and eork for the next 25 years.
I have no doubt that the minute she gets an interview, she can close, but to not even get a callback for literally anything… man, I don’t even know what to do at this point.

Unfortunately so much of resumes are keyword searches and I am sure ai has been adapted recently to file through all the applications.
Seems like a horrible way to find good employees, but with everything being digital I don’t know what a better system is.
Everyone is just playing Job Lotto.
The last sysadmin job I applied to for the state had 97 applicants. That’s pretty unheard of for a state sysadmin position.
