When you’re trying to do good, there are lots of ways to approach an issue. My food/diet obsessed friends are devout devotees of Whole Foods, but having shopped there the joke about Whole Pay Check is certainly true. It’s great that so much thought has been put into the eating lifestyle of the rich and famous, but they won’t be setting up shop in an area where such goodies are most needed. They can’t. No one in the inner cities can afford them, so I shop affordable—Costco, Meijer, Busches, Kroger. Yep, I shop around. I like to discover new foods.
For a short time Costco carried the individual cottage cheese containers from Good Culture. They are delicious, and one of Kurt’s favorite things to eat. When Costco quit carrying them it was a sad day, until a lady in line at Costco told me that Whole Foods carried them. Whole Foods is right next to Barnes and Noble, so I don’t mind stocking up. Besides I’m curious. Whole Foods prides itself on having great stuff for the adventurous eater. I’ve been scouting the place for few months now. I haven’t found a lot I like, but then I can’t try a lot of things because they are so expensive.
That’s whatever. The thing that is really griping me is that every time I put my basket on the belt the cashier rather snottily, across several cashiers, tells me to empty the basket and place it under the counter. I don’t know what is so hard about emptying the basket. The containers are easily accessible in the wide opening of the basket. I’d be glad to put the empty basket under the counter. They seem to think minimizing their work load is a birthright, but it isn’t hard work. It’s ten things of cottage cheese easily accessible. No other store has ever asked me to do that. It’s so inefficient handling the items twice when they could be handled once. It’s annoying and the attitude makes it offensive.
The bill for 10 containers of cottage cheese—24.20.
