Grocery peeves

I think it is amazing that we have grocery stores. I have read history books detailing the way families grew crops, and if one wanted chicken for dinner one had to go out back and GET the chicken, wring its neck (urk) and PLUCK it. Yikes!
That being said, I do have some peeves:
Avocados, one of my faves. Too often they are either hard as rock or putrid.
Tomatoes: I know that tomatoes are selected in the industry not for taste, but for how they stand up to shipping. I grow tomatoes at home and they are wonderful, I'd be willing to pay extra to have the same quality in the stores.
Price errors. The store I go to gives you one of the items free if the price on your cash register tape is different than the advertised price and I get a considerable amount of free stuff this way because I always take a moment to check after the transaction is complete. That's nice, but I'd just rather the prices were true.
What about you, do you have any peeves?
