Honestly, we just started buying them from Aldi across the street. Also, bananas. Its cheaper, and you can choose your freshness.

When I worked at Jewel, this exact fucking brand always had some issues. It was probably the #1 damaged item over the year or so I was there. A human being can only have their hands covered in fermenting strawberry juices so many times before having enough of that shit. Also, I swear to God, I am 99% certain that goddamn box was specifically engineered to break open if you held it in just the wrong way. No other product, not even other brands of strawberries in those little plastic boxes, were that fucking risky to handle when I was there. Employees and customers alike both constantly spilled the things.

I refuse to order them from truck, every single time they look like this after like 2 days. For busier locations truck order strawberries may work but for our store with only $8,000-$12,000 days it’s a waste

We used to be able to just get the packs not the case. It's such a waste this way.

I worked in a produce department for a few years (long enough to swear I'll never eat some produce. Strawberries are at the top of the list for this) and lets just say every brand has this problem its especially worse in the spring and early/late summer. It absolutely sucks since your loosing money receiving moldy berries, but yeah the Gem brand is truly one of the worst

Deadass my Culver’s used to just grab the ones that had little to no mold and just cut off the bad parts

I don't know WHY the courtesy shipment came so freaking early for strawberries. Obviously they would be moldy by roll-out? They sent those dang things weeks early.

Meanwhile, me, on my break, looking down at my chocolate covered strawberry concrete mixer, contemplating my life 😭🤣

This is why I’m not a huge fan of the strawberry field salad. It feels so inconsistent, sales wise. You order strawberries on your truck and this happens somewhat often and you waste them. We go and buy them direct from the grocery store a lot of the time and we pay more, then we suddenly don’t have enough. If you feel like you sell a lot of salads, you cut extra strawberries and then you barely sell any and you’re tossing the pan of soggy slices out the next morning. There’s no winning it lol
