Stupid manager tricks. Hoping that's local, not a Whole Foods corporate policy.
I actually had something similar happen with green peppers at the neighborhood QFC. They took 'em back, offered to cut open three more, the three were fine, and they gave them to me for nothing as a compensation for having to return rotten ones.
