Hey Lady..
Ya you, the one with the plastic helmet head of hairspray and sour look on your face, harassing the produce department guy with:
You only have RED tomatoes? ..this store sucks, I’m sorry.. I know its not your fault, but honestly. Do you have any..”
..and on it went re some other obscure food item, that is not currently in season locally.
I couldn’t help but feel that you are a perfect example of being disconnected from your food supply. You gave the impression that you expected everything in this world served to you on a silver platter. Well, sorry, the oil is going to run out and it’ll be cabbage, cabbage, cabbage (which, luckily, tastes really good made into homemade saurkraut and stuff like that!)
