Manny was fed up with either rock hard avocados or soft, spoiled ones. One day he just snapped and threw the hard ones at the produce clerk and squished the soft ones into guacamole.
People shouted and screamed at first, but then their own anger took over. Anger at melons that never ripened, peaches with rotted cores, wilted celery, bruised fruit, mangoes lacking juice, bacon bits that failed expectations, on and on.
A near riot ensued, with people punching foodstuffs. Police came and made arrests, including Manny.
As he was led away, a woman sobbed, 'at least they didn't attack the cole slaw.'
Manny snarled. 'This isn't over. Not by a long shot. And that includes the potato salad.'
