I’m generally a friendly affable bloke, had she looked like a bar hag it might have been a different story. Generally when someone acts friendly I tend to reciprocate that. Demographics and statistical analysis is my job, I call it like I see it whether you like it or not and I just like you am entitled to have an opinion or two.

cm,
You had to work up the nerve to ask her that? I wouldn’t have shown anybody my hands if they asked me too without asking why and then I’m quite sure, upon hearing their goofy answer, I would have told them to f___ off. People need to learn to keep to themselves. I’m tired of all the strangers that keep talking to me as if we are good friends.

@cm: Sweeping generalizations (especially based on the grocery stores that people shop at) are for those with very limited abilities to understand the world. All types shop at all stores. I not only shop at Whole Foods but HEB & Kroger as well. Shop at whatever store(s) work for you but keep your day job and leave the analysis to others.

True story: River Oaks Kroger, buying a 12 pack of Heineken, the self checkout was offline. Standing in line, with a 40 something woman (realtor-esque) behind me. Out of the blue she asks to see my hands, befuddled I sit the 12 pack down and show her my hands and she smiles and nods approval. Utterly confused after 30 seconds or so I finally worked up the nerve to ask so what criteria were you looking for in my hands? She replies making sure you didn’t have a ring. Yeouch, cougar-ville…

HHHHAAAA!!!

River Oak Kroger, reminds me of standing in line in the parking lot after Hurricane Ike, waiting for the ice delivery while listening to RO dude complaining how he lost 5 million dolares in his retirement fund the day before.

I turned to him and said “welcome to my world dude.”

I like Whole Foods because the meat doesn’t go off in the refrigerator the day after you buy it. Throwing away food is way more expensive.

Whole Foods is sporting a banner mentioning low prices and selection this morning. I guess they’re getting ready. :)

Whole foods is for the neurotic set who enjoy over paying grossly and like tofurkey — no thanks. Montrose HEB and River Oaks Krogers are both good spots for single men though as I’m sure the Studemont Krogers will be too soon enough.

And you wonder why it’s already been named “Broger.”

No offense, but too bad for HEB that they didn’t open a store there. I’m a huge HEB homer and hate the fact that there isn’t a good one anywhere around my house, but I’m also a retail guy and respect the fact that Kroger is controlling their market share of that area. The best defense is a good offense. It’s business, not happy campfire singalong time.
