[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4078884, member: 27991"] Back around '70, we lived out in Midland. There was this old Mexican that would go to Pecos, get his pickup and trailer loaded with cantaloupe. He would sell the trailer load to Gibson's. Gibson's sold them 4 for $1. He would park his pickup on the corner, in front of Gibson's and sell his 10 for $1. We bought a lot of cantaloupe from him. Dad knew him, from his days as Produce Manager and Store Manager for Safeway. One day we were in Gibson's and a woman asked Dad how to pick a good cantaloupe? I said to go out front and get 10 instead of 4. She was shocked, says, "I would never buy from that Mexican. Who knows where those came from. These are inspected and certified safe." Dad got us out of there fast, as I was laughing. [/QUOTE]
