Carlsbad pick your own strawberry trap

[freshman]

The cost of picking your own is higher than the same amount you can buy in supermarket. Also, the strawberry is not sweet there. We like to pay more than “supermarket” price, because it is supposed to be fun to pick and enjoy the time with kids and friends there. That fat guy (not sure if he is the owner’s family or just employee) wants to rip off and he said “it is not for your fun, we are doing business” ! we paid more than supermarket price because of fun, if we want better quality and lower price, we surely won’t go to pick there!

Basically, you go and pay for the box first, then you can go inside, eat and pick. There is no sign for how much you can pick or how much you can eat free there. They have watchdog to check your box before you leave. So, it seems they mean to charge on you if they are not satisfied how much you pick. Also, they have watchdog inside the field. I am wondering if you eat too much free there, they may come to you and ask you to pay more!

If you want to have fun to pick , don’t go there. Or you can prepare more cash or prepare your cell phone to call police.

In my experience, I’ve been there twice this year with guests and I have seen people filling the bucket up and then carrying a full stack of strawberry bushes in their hands as well. Those are people that were stopped, but the guy there did offer them to eat all of those on property if they didn’t wish to be charged extra. The guy told me that as long as you don’t have to use your hands to keep strawberries inside the bucket, you are fine.

we would have just gotten into the car with whatever amount of strawberries we had and left or there would have been a strawberry food fight between us and the “fat man”. I mean come on, is the guy sitting there with a gun telling you you can’t leave?[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing, CBad. He could say whatever he wanted but I’d head for the car and if he touched me…FOOD FIGHT!

I think that you guys are cheap bastards… (I mean that in good way).

It’s all you can pick and all you can eat within reason. They are allowed to put limits.

If you go to a buffet and eat too much, they can stop serving you, ask you to leave, or charge you extra.

If you leave with their goods without paying, you can be sued and the police would arrest you and not them.

American consumers are used to being able to return items, getting meals for free if not satisfied, etc… The merchants are being nice because they want to please the customers, but they don’t have to.
