If Mr/Ms Produce Receiver has their job on the line what's going to prevent them from selecting 12 bruised apples from a full shipment, then snaping a few pictures of them and calling the shipper saying those apples represent what they saw in one sample? The shipper will never really know, will they? As for it being used for identification purposes only, why? Most defects should be understood simply by stating such. This is just another prime example of the cost of something not needed being passed from one to another with the consumer ultimately paying the price for it in the end.
