I, for one, will ONLY eat organic pickles.
Especially at these affordable prices.

No S'more
Whole Foods has gone Marshmallow-Crazy, featuring a whole wall of 'em:
But, at least they don't have any meat in them:
... and they're totally affordable.

Take it to the Mat
I'm on my cell phone, walking past Whole Foods, and this guy is hawking some Yoga Center. You know, "Take this flyer and save 10% on your next Bikram sweat-fest."
The guy catches my eye, and says, "You do Yoga? Save 10%, dude!"
And I say, "Sorry, I am on the phone here."
And he says, "I'm just givin' you a flyer, man."
And I say, "Yeah, but you are also shouting at me, while I'm on a call."
He says, shoving the flyer at me, "Just take one! C'mon!"
Now, am I really going to support a Yoga institution that has employees who bombard you with information when you are having a very important cell phone chat about where you are going to go out for Happy Hour that night? I don't think so.

Shopping with the Whole World
While shopping for a few items at the Union Square Whole Foods, I noticed that it was awfully busy for a mid-summer Thursday afternoon. Like, totally packed from the escalators to the smelly cheese section to the dining area.
Then, I took a closer look at who was shopping and no one seemed to actually be from either the Columbus Circle, New York City, or even the Tri-State area.
How do I know?
- Men wearing sandals with black socks
- Families of six; all wearing neon backpacks
- Little kids running amok at the food bar
- Folks unfolding huge subway maps in the tiny cookie aisle
- No one speaking English
I covered every inch of the store in search of these excellent gluten-free frozen meatballs; and everywhere I went, I was crammed, pushed, and knocked into by the throngs of tourists taking a day trip to the local supermarket. Granted, it's not a typical local supermarket. But, where else in the world do locals go food shopping with tourists?
I never found my meatballs. But, I did give directions to the Staten Island Ferry.
