I just returned from Whole Foods. My visit left me with more questions than answers.
One. Why are the chips always just out for passing children to rifle through with their likely filthy hands?
Two. You’re no longer accepting checks? Really? In order to speed checkout? But you still accept cash. Are you sure you’re not going down the route of that Visa debit commercial? Right? Please don’t buy into their idea that we shouldn’t use cash.
Three. You’re getting rid of disposable plastic bags by Earth Day? I don’t disagree–in fact I love it. But I’m anxious. Does that mean that mean I’ll have to start bringing my own bag or shopping at Jewel? Please don’t make me shop at Jewel. Please remember that I don’t usually have a bag with me.
Four. How do you make better lattes than Starbucks? I mean, seriously, you make a great latte.

Congratulations Reid! Soon you’ll be one of the parents of those children rifling through the chips with their likely filthy hands. That’s the curse of the new middle class parent - Whole Foods is the new family safe activity. And the sampling frenzy? The new Costco.
Thanks. Wait. I’m pretty sure you’re being a little sarcastic, just not sure how much.
You can’t tell me the open and unattended vats of chips and guacamole aren’t a little unsettling. Can you? I mean, not even a little?
Anyway, I forgot one — five: why does the Jetta completely freeze up? I could open the door, but not close it. Awkward.
