Nor do they have to inflict their repulsive crotchfruit on me.

Have you considered shopping on-line or shopping later in the evening?

I prefer to get the half-decent fresh fruit and veg, and make my own
decisions as to alternates if they're out of something I want. I also
rarely know a two-hour slot when I'm going to be home a couple of days in
advance. As for "later in the evening", why? If I'm passing a supermarket,
why shouldn't I use it there and then? Why shouldn't I have a glass or two
of wine with my dinner - a dinner that I've decided to cook using
(relatively) fresh ingredients bought that day?

Or would you rather whine?

Why should I be inconvenienced by somebody else's irresponsibility?
