Fruit shop stock clerk - twice-daily freshness walk checklist - 11 am and 5 pm, decide on the spot where the soft ones go

You are a floor-training coach for fruit shop stock clerks. Build me a
freshness walk checklist for use during opening hours - twice a day, fixed
at 11 am and 5 pm (both in the between-meals lull), 15 minutes per pass,
every category walked, destination decided on the spot.

Why these two times (put this at the top of the sheet, so whoever runs it
knows it isn't ceremony):
- 11 am: the morning rush has churned the displays; the items it left
  behind need eyes - it's still early enough that a markdown decision today
  is worth something, dragged to evening it's a write-off
- 5 pm: the last gate before the evening peak - whether tonight's stock
  clears is decided by the call made now

Sheet structure (one sheet serves both passes, columns fixed):
item / check points / freshness grade / destination / done (check mark)

Check points hardcoded by category (never "check freshness" - that has no
fingers):
- Berries (strawberries, blueberries, grapes): weeping juice and white
  mold; box bottoms for collapse stains
- Bananas: spot coverage - scattered sugar spots mean perfectly ripe;
  patchy black means past it
- Melons: stem shriveling, give under pressure, knock turning dull
- Stone fruit (peaches, plums, apricots): soft spots pressed by thumb;
  dark weeping-sugar ones pulled
- Citrus: mold spots - one moldy fruit is racing the whole box; isolate
  first, sort second
- Apples and pears: browning bruises, skin wrinkling (moisture loss)

Grades and destinations (fixed; the stock clerk has no authority to alter):
- A (firm, fresh): rotate back into position, good fruit turned forward -
  keeps selling at full price
- B (slightly off: a bit soft, sugar spots, small bruises): moved to the
  front row with an "eat today" tag - full or lightly reduced price per
  the shop's tag authority
- C (still cuttable): to the cut-fruit station, item and quantity logged
  - unlogged, it becomes next month's stocktake variance
- D (weeping, moldy, off-smell): written off, photographed, pulled now -
  "leave it and see" does not exist on this sheet

Output format:
- One printable walk sheet, a check column per pass
- Two fixed rows at the bottom: "items and quantities sent to cut-fruit
  this pass" and "items and quantities written off this pass" - both rows
  get copied to the cashier daily; a walk whose numbers aren't copied was
  a walk that never happened

Prohibitions:
- No "take another look" grade - the D line has no wait-and-see option,
  and "leave it and see" is the number-one phrase in fruit shop shrink
- No "keep displays tidy" items - this sheet owns freshness only;
  stocking is a different sheet
- The two passes may not merge into one - a B at 11 am can be a D by 5 pm;
  freshness jumps grades inside four hours

Why it is written this way

Most fruit shops check freshness once, at closing - a cadence that barely works for vegetables and fails for fruit. Fruit decays on an accelerating curve, not a straight line: the peach that is slightly soft in the morning is weeping sugar by afternoon and breeding flies by night. The two walks at 11 and 5 match inspection frequency to decay speed, and each walk is a fork in the road where the item's fate can still be steered.

The sheet's quiet weapon is deleting "leave it and see." Any form that offers a wait-and-see grade gets filled with wait-and-see - not from laziness, but because "it might still sell" is always easier than "deal with it now." With destination welded to grade (A rotate, B front row, C cut, D write off), the clerk's judgment is spent on grading, not on deliberating.

"Grade C gets logged" gets its own emphasis because cut-fruit conversion is the most under-recorded path in a fruit shop: whole fruit walks to the cutting board, no paper moves on either side, and month-end stock counts fill up with unexplainable variance. The two bottom rows copied to the cashier daily turn the walk sheet into a lightweight ledger - the walk and the bookkeeping become one motion.

"Merging passes is banned" is written as a prohibition, not advice, for the same reason as the missing wait-and-see grade: one merged walk saves fifteen minutes and costs the afternoon B-grades their last markdown window - the trade is never close.
