Whole Foods

I like Whole Foods. The food is tasty, the produce is fresh, the staff is friendly, and the store is impeccably clean.

Unfortunately, everything is incredibly expensive, which is why I rarely shop at Whole Foods. Eating at the deli there is as expensive as eating at Chili's.

Today, I got sick and couldn't keep food down. After taking a long nap, I decided some clear chicken soup would do me good. So I headed out to Whole Foods because it's the closest store I know of that sells chicken soup. And heck, I'm sick. I can splurge an extra dollar for a bowl of piping hot soup. At the store, I was distracted by the watermelon section. I have been craving for watermelons for a while now, so it was only logical that I would pick up a watermelon as comfort food.

At the checkout, the watermelon rang up to 22 dollars! "Who pays $22 for a watermelon," I exclaimed. The cashier replied respectfully, "Ma'am, the watermelon is $1.50 a pound and this watermelon is about 15 pounds."

I told him to put the watermelon back.
