| - Unbelievably expensive...not worth the price.
I just can't believe the prices of these items, I stopped by to get some info and I was blown away. The average item here is 65 bucks, and that's just for a regular size...65 bucks for a basket of cut up fruit pieces? Seriously? I just...wow. I was thinking maybe 25 bucks, it's just FRUIT! There's no flowers, there's no roses, no speciality items, just fruit...and it's not even organic, I could see if all the fruit was organic...but nope, just plain everyday fruit.
The smallest, cheapest item here was 30 bucks, and that was for 12 strawberries dipped in chocolate, and I asked what is so special about them? They said such and such, "they're gourmet, they're premium", etc....I went online to explore my options and the "gourmet" chocolate they use is just hershey's...the same hershey's bar you get at the grocery store, yeah. I don't know how they sell these things, I actually feel bad for the sales people here because seriously how do you justify to people to spend 80 bucks on a bunch of generic, cut-up fruit?
I went to whole foods, got a bouquet of flowers for 10 bucks and a couple chocolate bark pieces and managed to make my wife happy, I didn't spend 70 dollars on diced honeydew melon.
I'm sorry folks, I just don't get it...how can you look at people in the face and actually charge them these prices for a basket of cut up fruit? I've seen these things at my workplace before and honestly most of the time the larger arrangements go to waste because nobody eats them all. It just seems like such a waste for so much money.
Lower those prices man, for real it's highway robbery!
