点评:I have been coming to Boa Vista for a long time for their produce. Great selection with a farmer's market feel. That said, their prices have been going up and up and up over the past couple of years. I guess prices are on the rise everywhere. While I still appreciate that the produce is generally fresher than the grocery stores, I wish it was "more affordable" like it used to be, relatively speaking. Still, I would give their produce 4 stars.
My reason for only 2 stars overall is due to my bread and jam purchases there. I have purchased three loafs over the past few months, and all three loaves started getting mold within days of purchase. I bought a loaf two days ago (Wed 7/22), and today (Fri 7/24) I found mold growing on the upper crust. That means this loaf had been sitting there for several days before my purchase.
I have had the same experience with a couple of BV jars of butters...open it and within days it is growing mold on top. Butter spreads (apple, pumpkin) should last a good long time on the shelf so I'm not sure what's going on there. Once could be a coincidence, just a bad batch. But it's happened twice now, months apart. I'm hesitant now to buy another jar.
I expect the products sold there to be fresh. During the height of summer like right now, when it is hot inside your store, this might mean pulling the loaves of bread off the shelf sooner and taking a loss to ensure the freshest possible product for your customers. I have no doubt that your pricing structure can manage this small "hit," and don't you think it's important to do what's best for your customers?
翻译:长期以来,我一直光顾Boa Vista,就是为了购买那里的农产品。这里的商品种类丰富,有着典型的农贸市场氛围。不过,近几年这里的物价持续上涨。我想现在到处都这样吧。虽然这些农产品总体上确实比普通杂货店的更新鲜,但我还是希望价格能像以前那样“亲民”一些。即便如此,我仍然会给这里的农产品4颗星的评价。我只给出2颗星的评价,是因为在那里购买的面包和果酱。过去几个月里我买了三条面包,但这三条面包全都在购买后没几天就长出了霉菌。两天前(7月22日周三)我又买了一条面包,今天(7月24日周五)我发现面包表层也长出了霉菌。这说明这条面包在我购买之前就已经在店里放置了好几天。
我购买的几罐BV牌黄油也出现了同样的情况……打开之后,没几天表面就开始长霉了。这些果酱(苹果、南瓜味)本应能在货架上保存很长时间,所以我搞不懂到底是怎么回事。一次可能是巧合,只是批次有问题。但这种情况已经发生了两次,中间还相隔了好几个月。现在我都不敢再买另一罐了。
我期望那里售卖的商品都是新鲜的。就像现在正值盛夏,店里非常炎热的时候,这可能意味着需要尽早将面包从货架上撤下,即便会蒙受一些损失,也要确保为顾客提供最新鲜的产品。我深信贵公司的定价策略能够承受这一小小的“损失”;难道您不认为做对顾客最有利的事情才是最重要的吗?
