That farmer's market in Denver where the honey guy called me out for buying from big brands

I was at the Denver Union Station farmer's market about 3 months ago and this older beekeeper just asked me straight up what honey I buy at home. I said whatever's on sale at King Soopers. He laughed and handed me a sample from his hives. Told me most store honey is cut with corn syrup or filtered so hard it loses everything good. I didn't even know that was a thing. Now I only buy local honey and I'm kinda mad at myself for not asking sooner. Anyone else get caught off guard by something like this?

Did you at least buy a tiny jar to make him feel good?

Wait, did you actually buy one just to smooth things over, or did you skip it and hope he wouldn't notice?
