2 minutes from my house Gelson's?
I also sometimes go to the Whole-Foods-Where-Laurence-Fishburne-Once-Bumped-Into-Me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ah, we don't have the Gelson's here. We have just Whole Foods and really one over in La Jolla, whose name I have totally blanked on, to fill the need of shiny but shockingly priced.

I used to hate Gelson's. But then, during the strike, I was won over by the close proximity to my house and the never having to wait on a long line.

We have A&P, but not regular A&P, like we used to have in Connecticut when I was a kid. Ours stands for Alaskan and Proud. I think it's hilarious. I heard that they were sued by the big A&P, but won because they always use the full name in their advertizing, but I think that might be an urban legend. Although not all that urban.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I had to get out of there. I was feeling the need to defend your honor or something. And as you're so fond of saying, "no good could come of it."
OTOH? too bad you didn't know where Tim was and do a Woody Allen...

I like Gelson's in part because it has a Victor Benes inside. And while it's wildly overpriced, the worker bees are always nice.

Hmm, it hadn't occurred to me until just now that one of the reasons I like the two pricier organic/gourmet markets I shop at aside from the food is that all the staff are friendly and happy to be there. Well, that and the fact that one of the cashiers is extremely hawt. (The last time I was there the girl in front of me was flirting so shamelessly, it was all I could do not to say "Hey Chris, how's the Mrs.?" and draw her attention to the guy's wedding ring...)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The grocery strike has shifted my buying to pricier stores too. I do shop Ralph's, but now won't drive past a Gelson's or a Bristol Farms to get there.
Last time I was at Gelson's, the cashier kept calling me Lady. Strange Andre the Giant incongruity. And the last time I remember Bristol Farms employees, I was either pitching one krav (had a black eye), or listening to another tell me how I should get laid, and also eat more meat. So it's a mixed bag. In fact, the Bristol Farms employees are the chattiest supermarket people around.

Thought I'd pop in here to say I finally had the courage to watch Aidan. That was a wonderful, heartwrenching episode.
