I don't know if it's always had the same name, or been the same owners, but this fruit and veg shop…read moreas been around since I was a kid. They've usually got better quality stuff than the Foodland or Woolies, and are also helpful and know a lot more about their produce. They were a lifesaver for me last Summer, when I'd pop in every week to grab some fresh figs for my cupcakes. From what I've found fresh figs aren't easy to come by in supermarkets down south, so without a tree to pick them from, TC's was a real life saver.

I try to support small business but I won't when the owners or staff treat select people with total…read moredisrespect as happened to me today. I grabbed a 3kg bag of oranges and lined up at TC's Fruit and Veg in Seaford Central, southern Adelaide. There was one person at each of the 2 cash registers, so I put my bag of oranges down on top of a table of non-orange vegetables for sale and walked between the 2 cash registers to select 3 mushrooms as I passed between the cash registers 2 young people came in the out lane past me. When I came back in the out lane (the same way) between the 2 cash registers, I waited behind the 2 young people, as a male with a trolley was now in the other lane. The 2 young people in front of me finished, to my surprise the mature aged (male) staff at my register said this to me, 'I'm going to serve that man because he was here first.' indicating to the male with the trolley who came along after me, who verbally thanked the male staff member. I stood for a moment not wanting to react in anger. I continued my momentum and placed my oranges and mushrooms on the edge of the counter as the trolley man moved in to be served. I reflected on the fact that the male staff member failed to apologise to me before he said he would serve the other person which was very rude in the first instance. I reflected on the fact the cash register staff member most probably saw me walk out and back in between the registers, if he didn't he was incompetent as a small retail store staff member. I reflected on the fact that when I came back in with my mushrooms, I stared momentarily at the trolley man customer and I know he saw me pick up the 3kg bag of oranges I left on top of the other non-orange vegetables before I walked outside for less than 20 seconds. I reflected on the fact that my 2 items cost more than the trolley man's one item and realised that I had just been a target of gender discrimination by two males about the same age who probably knew each other. They were almost finished with the transaction. No I said to myself as I turned silently walked out the shop towards Woolworths where I bought my required items. I left JCs oranges and mushrooms on his counter never to return. I've lived in Seaford southern Adelaide for 10 years.

Big giant line up but the staff member name Luke started randomly started to talk about "drugs and…read morealcohol" while he was serving and still going on about apparently "He used to hang out with drug dealers and smoke marijuana at the back" To be honest, it's not appropriate to talk about that stuff while he's serving customers. But at the same time customers were looking at me and him because I can tell they feel awkward by his "Drugs and Alcohol Topic"
