The ralph's we have in our neighborhood is just lame. I always have to wait in a line 10 people long. I hate it...

I grew up bagging groceries and that store just rubs me the wrong way. I only shop there for cat food and only if the cookes down the street is closed. The cookes is lame because they have high prices but I like the down home feel of it so I don't mind going there when I am short on time.

We price matched our normal shopping between Ralph's and Whole Foods trying to buy similar if not the same stuff. Whole foods didn't cost any more and the quality of the meat we buy is better. So, we shop at the uppity whole foods. Oh, and at the uppity whole foods I am almost always 'next!'

Such is life.
