Of course, even that store had its misses.  But when that happened, the store manager told him with a smile that these were special avocados and you are supposed to eat them that way.

I came across your above post again and realised I had not responded. Thanks for "fine-tuning" and extending the analogy. I was a little hasty and had left it slightly broken. Better to have dealt with other stores, as you did, or perhaps with different palettes, though fortunately the point does appear to have been communicated successfully despite my lapse. I thought both the "special avocados" and the condescending advice as to how one should eat avocados were very nice touches.
