"the fruit and vege at the supermarkets nowadays is absolute crap"
It must vary by area. I shop mostly at Woolworths and the produce is first rate. If very occasionally it looks tired, simply asking an assistant to bring out some fresh stuff evokes a quick and helpful response.
I'm thankful to be able to pick out what I want from what seems to me to be a great selection of good food.
Yes, people are irritating with their loud phone conversations and stuffing about at check outs, but just as many will offer a smile and a 'hello'. Sometimes, we attract what we give out.
