anyone else put off by the idea of having someone else inspect/pick out your fresh produce?

I'm more put off by people not inspecting and simply picking up produce. The sorry state of merchandising for produce these days requires a sharp eye.

These days? Unless you're talking about "organic" food, produce has never been uniformly of such high quality.

On the efficiency side: cuts down on waste b/c otherwise hundreds of people squeeze the produce. But on the whole I'm not for the plan... seems like feature creep for these companies.

People have been inspecting / picking-out your fresh produce all the way from the field to the shelf, so I don't have any qualms about letting the picker in Tesco select my bananas as the last step.

All delivery services I've experienced permit you to reject items without penalty, anyhow.
