The store takes up an entire city block and occupies two levels. I'm sure it'll take some getting used to, but right now it feels overwhelming, especially since I don't know where anything is. That I expect. What I don't expect is for the sales people to be as as new to the store as I am.
I ask one clerk where the check out lines are, and she directs me to the lower floor. I even question her, but she insists with conviction, "You have to go downstairs." Another WF employee overhears and shakes her head. "It's right over there," she says, and points to a section about ten feet from where I'm standing. On the street level.
I ask another employee where the yogurt covered pretzels are and he says, "It's in the bulk food section. You know where that is, right?" I don't even know what the bulk food section looks like unless I'm in Costco where everything qualifies as bulk food. At Fairway, they would have walked me to the right section. Someone should create some kind of map app for this store.
When I was up in Boston, M and I went grocery shopping at a Whole Foods in Newtonville. Out of curiosity, I keep the receipt. Today I buy two of my favorite items: Mom's Chicken Soup for $6.99 (thank-you Gail for the recommendation) and the yogurt-covered pretzels for $5.49 (thank you M). The pricing in Boston is the same as New York. Anyone reading this from Nebraska, South Dakota or Arkansas? It'd be interesting to know if the pricing is the same nationwide.
WF has a prepared tuna fish salad that I love, so I replicated it at home. If you are a tuna-fish eater, you might like this:
Can (or two) of tuna packed in water
Salt and Pepper
Cut up dried cranberries
Cut up fuji apple
Mix above together.
Add mayo.
When I'm providing recipes, you'd be right to assume it's a slow news day.
