when the cries of screaming children pierces the Muzak so loudly it makes the collective blood pressure rise 10 points. Normally "friendly" checkout staff assume grim expressions and the war of the shopping carts, manned by the totally clueless and disconnected on their cell phones, leaves few unscathed. And suddenly the inane conversations being yelled into said cell phones becomes more unbearable than the cries of the inconsolable child desperately in need of a nap.
But that is the grocery stores. The same time period at Whole (paycheck) Foods is even more unbearable as the 'self-entitled" class determine that their needs outweigh those of everyone else-- blocking the already poorly negotiable aisles with their cart as they encounter all their BFFs and chatter away. Even the crowd at Safeway seems more sensitive to the needs of others while those at Whole (Paycheck) Foods seem overwhelmingly populated by those who just don't give a sh__t. I dare anyone who doubts my veracity on this to visit the large WF in Cherry Creek-Denver on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and experience that "thrill" of trying to park or walk across the parking lot without being hit by a Range Rover or BMW intent on getting the last available space. If you are lucky, one of the countless Priuses might just get there first--they tend to be more considerate of the poor person on foot-- either because they are "nicer people" or (more cynically), they are just more afraid of the damage that will be done by a stricken pedestrian to their more vulnerable vehicle.
Yup, I just looooove shopping on weekends.
