When Apple Bloom is caught in a lie Applejack tells her the story of how she lied before Apple Bloom was even born However, because the Griffins are selling them Taint contaminated produce at 10% what you're selling, they're renegotiating the prices for "market value".Based on the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic episode of the same title So you swallow your pride, you take your 75% loss on the signed contract and then they ask you if you'll be able to make your next shipment, as per your contract, B-B has the ability to extend. You threaten to complain to Canterlot, and they remind you that Filthy's close friends with all the right ponies and your complaint won't be processed for the next 10 years and at best you'll get your agreed upon price, while at the same time he'll make sure nopony buys anything from you ever again. You protest B-B's unilateral negotiation and they tell you that they can refuse delivery of the product and have it shipped back to you, but you'll pay for the shipping (Pay Filthy's trucks, not yours). However, they will keep that lost product and use it in some sort of paste or juice or other form of private label Great Value product that can use the product. You're contacted by B-B and told that the product was not in the agreed upon condition and that they will be deducting a loss-penalty of 50% to your agreed upon price and will not be paying for the 30% of lost product. It's now been 5 or 6 days since it was supposed to be delivered to the refrigerated distributorship and there's been about a 30% loss of product. When it gets there, the unrefrigerated fruit is inspected again. Instead, it goes another day out of its way, to unload. The cart doesn't take the fruit to the nearest refrigerated B-B Distribution Center. They close up the cart, and tell you that you should receive your payment in a few weeks, and have you sign a receipt. Again, you're paying your employees to wait to do this the whole time. Finally, the inspector allows the fruit to be packed into B-B's non-refrigerated cart at about 8 o'clock. He/she immediately begins marking crates as below agreed upon quality, assuring you that you will be compensated full-price for these crates, and that he/she is just marking them so that the produce that is below grade is sent to Zebraland or something. The B-B inspector starts going through the produce that you picked and prepped for a Friday pick-up, at 6:30pm Tuesday. It finally does arrive, and it comes with a B-B inspector. You've now paid your entire company for an extra hour of work, as you wait for the promised cart to arrive. Tuesday roles around and the B-B cart shows up at 6pm and hour after you usually close up and go home. Nobody at Barnyard Bargains knows why the cart hasn't arrived, but they're rerouting to you immediately, assuring you that you will not be held responsible for the losses. In fact, it doesn't show up for 4 days, all the while your fresh produce, which Filthy has signed an agreement to buy and pick up on Friday, is rotting in the box. Next, Friday comes and goes, Filthy's cart never shows up. You have everything picked, packed and prepped for Filthy's pick-up (he always wants to make the pick-up, rather than pay you to deliver) on Friday. You are especially picky about the quality of your product, because Filthy's business represents a dynamic increase in sales and you want to impress him. You spend the entire week ramping up production, bringing in more pickers and hiring more packers to ensure you get your X bushels of product. As a former employee of a vegetable farm, let me give you an explanation of how selling vegetables to Barnyard Bargains works.įirst you make an agreement with Filthy to sell him X bushels of produce at Y price/bushel.
