Being fresh at The Fresh Market
So I'm at The Fresh Market the other day and I order a pound of the Mediterranean salad. The girl behind the deli counter puts the stuff into a container, and then she starts putting the liquidy part into the container, you know the dressing, oil and vinegar, whatever it is. And she is weighing the stuff, I guess to get me to exactly a pound. This is like the third time this has happened.
This of course made the container weigh more, but I would have been happy with what fit into the container. What was the point of "padding" the container. I didn't say anything, but after I ate the stuff at home, I noticed that the liquid part weighed a lot. So I probably paid for a pound of the salad, but really got three quarters of a pound.
Watch out for this when visiting The Fresh Market or any market for that matter.
Also, people are still sticking their grubby hands into the candy and nuts, taking "free samples" at the Fresh Market. Disgusting. I was about to purchase a bunch of stuff and when I saw this, I just put it all back and walked out of the store.

You should definitely mention both incindents to the store manager, either in person or by letter.
The reason that we are willing to pay their prices is because we have a reasonable expectation that these types of annoyances should not occur.
Tony's right.
I've been wanting to go there, but now I'm not so sure...
I've gone a few times and luckily haven't spotted anyone doing that. Thats the main reason I stopped eating at salad bars. People are ridiculously disgusting...
I went to Fresh Market last night and tried the Bourbon salmon, marinated raw fish at the fish counter. I took it home and cooked it but the marinde was so strong I could not eat it. They should sell the marinades separetly since fish should not marinate for over 3-4 hours tops. You would think they know this. Anyway, I don't reccommend ordering any of the marinated fish because it has probably been sitting there all day and won't even taste like fish anymore once you take it home and cook it.
