Mushy. Which are typically very crisp varieties.

I’ve found the other produce at Costco to be good. It’s the apples and bananas that leave a lot to be desired.

I used to own a retail produce outlet. It is all in the quality that they buy

I think winco buys then sells near expired produce and meat.

Fred Meyer is under Kroger, and Smith's is the same company in Utah, but I haven't noticed a great difference in produce

With apples, it's mostly about the variety for me. Costco always has gala or fuji, which are pretty bland. I've found

Moldy cheese adds flavor. This is not TIC. I love moldy cheese.

Wait, doesn't everyone do this? The cheese isn't actually bad on the inside, just cut off the mold and you're good to go

Perhaps. Not me though

most of the cheese is moldy as it ages...they just cut it off before you see it
