ive had the same customers ask me the same questions like clockwork for over thirteen years.

if a customer cant figure out how to select a good cantaloupe after ive explained it four hundred times they will never grasp the concept.

i can only imagine how these folks deal with daily events that involve just a smidgeon of complexity.
