Most fruit is bought in cases, they do not buy rotten produce. As a former receiving clerk at a grocery store I do know this, they either take all or nothing. Someone who has the time to go through cherries one at a time obviously has a lot of time on their hands. As with most produce, people like it at a different ripeness. Me, personally prefer my produce a little bit on the less ripe side so I have time to use it, somebody else may need to buy it for immediate consumption.
You should ask the manager why they are selling rotten fruit.
I don't know makes me mad too that's why I go and I find the store manager and I let him know what's going on the last time they made the person by the bag of cherries they do that to the grapes too and I still don't get it sorry I couldn't help talk to the manager next time you see that happen though
