poll: childhood cartoons

Grocery Gateway seems to be experiencing some rough spots these days. The delivery guy brought the wrong order yesterday, plus charged me the wrong amount. He was very nice about it, however, going back to his truck for the right order and promising me I'd be credited for the overcharge. I told him about the mutant bananas, and he said that yes, Grocery Gateway had a problem with the bananas, was trying to work it out.

Have to wonder if the customer service for Grocery Gateway is answering their e-mail anymore; I never got responses from the last messages I sent (one was for an article I was writing, one was about the bananas). I finally ended up calling about the bananas, and Customer Service gave me a credit but no explanation. I didn't really care about the money; I wanted to find out about the mutant bananas! Ah well.
