Price Gouging!
Windy Acres的点评
点评：Today we visited the Windy Acres booth at the Wheaton farmers market, and what a disappointing experience it was!
I was in search of fresh farmstand peaches, as they are typically tastier and juicier than the ones found in the produce section of large grocery stores. This was certainly not the case here - the peaches I purchased were mediocre at best (lacking flavor and pithy texture). But what prompted me to write this review is the exorbitant price I paid for them. It's one thing to be disappointed by the quality of the produce but absolutely maddening to feel that you've been duped into paying a small fortune for it!
The price marked for the peaches was $7.99 lb, which seemed high since peaches can usually be purchased in a grocery store for around $3 per pound. But again, I expected them to be far superior to those found in grocery stores, so I decided to purchase 4 peaches. My total came to a whopping $14.75! Consequently I paid approximately $3.70 for EACH peach.
We happily support local, family-owned businesses, but we won't be supporting this one again. As consumers, we understand that we may need to pay a little more to support these small businesses and are happy to do so. But this was just greedy and blatant price gouging. What a scam!

翻译：今天我们参观了惠顿农贸市场的 Windy Acres 展位，这是一次多么令人失望的经历！
我一直在寻找新鲜的农场桃子，因为它们通常比大型杂货店农产品区的桃子更美味、更多汁。这里的情况肯定不是这样——我买的桃子充其量只是平庸（缺乏味道和精髓的质地）。但促使我写这篇评论的是我为它们付出的高昂代价。对产品的质量感到失望是一回事，但如果你觉得自己被骗了，花了一大笔钱就得到了它，那就绝对令人抓狂了！
桃子的标价为每磅 7.99 美元，这个价格似乎很高，因为桃子通常可以在杂货店以每磅 3 美元左右的价格购买。但我再次预计它们比杂货店里的要好得多，所以我决定购买 4 个桃子。我的总金额高达 14.75 美元！因此，我为每个桃子支付了大约 3.70 美元。
我们很乐意支持当地的家族企业，但我们不会再支持这一家企业。作为消费者，我们知道我们可能需要多花一点钱来支持这些小企业，并且很乐意这样做。但这只是贪婪和公然的哄抬物价。真是个骗局！
