(Alabama)- In a surprising and unfortunate discovery, a local Alabama resident recently took to social media after capturing an image of lemons rotting in the lemon bin at a nearby Walmart. The shocking sight has stirred conversation about the state of produce quality at the popular retail chain.
The resident, who goes by the Reddit name jayebird1012 (OP), visited the Lakeshore Walmart (Homewood) this week. While browsing the produce section, the OP noticed something amiss in the fruit section. Upon closer inspection, they found a batch of lemons sitting in a display that had clearly seen better days. The lemons were visibly discolored, shriveled, and in some cases, completely covered in mold.
The photo, shared on Reddit, quickly gained attention, with many users expressing their concerns and frustrations about the state of the store’s produce. One user sarcastically remarked, “I didn’t know they made ‘in house’ penicillin,” while another commented, “That’s why we purchase our produce at the farmers market or local grocery stores.”
