Reliable Most of the Time
Like many reviewers, I've been a life-long fan of See's. ( I can remember when a box cost $3.95/lb.!) I'm lucky enough to live San Francisco, CA, where I have access to See's shops. I remember in the past becoming enamored of the new, artisan chocolates (not See's) that were and are available to me. But I always come back to See's. I'm familiar with the product, and usually hand-pick my pound. Last month, I received a See's gift coupon so I went and again hand-picked the chocolates I wanted. For the first time ever, even though I was precise in what I chose, the shop clerk made a couple of errors, and I ended up with a few I didn't pick. Okay, I understand human error so that's forgivable. But I was disappointed because also for the first time, several of the candies in my box did not taste fresh. I mean, they were hard and seemed stale. Now that is unforgivable. When I go back for my next box I'll make sure to tell the shop clerk that I want to the see the candies before they seal my box.
