Right, except in the example described they're not considering the quality. And they're probably still charging the customers as if they are.

I don't mean "it'd be nice to know" as if it should be a normal thing to know about a business btw But if a place is saying to the growers that they'll only pay 'x', end of story...that just isn't the kind of place I would want to support regardless if the grower is free to go somewhere else. Hopefully they will, and the quality will suffer and hopefully we'd know about that...it's just nice to know the inside scoop so that you don't have to get to that point.
