We went to Trader Joe's tonight, and fully HALF the customers were lesbians

Including us. AND WE LIVE IN A RED COUNTY.

I figured the Unitarian Church was having a GLBT potluck.... and Haruka thought maybe the Indigo Girls were playing in town. We were just doing our grocery shopping.

:crazy:

:spray:

I LOVE lesbians! what a nice environment that will be.

OOPS!

:rofl:

:evilgrin:

You wanna play, go right ahead. Love is a beautiful thang.
I might be a lesbian trapped in man's body however

Sorry...I just have this rather amusing mental image of you and Haruka standing outside the Trader Joe's polling people as they left...

:D

Although one would probably have made the percentage higher than 50%.

They just use the barcode scanner!

:wow:

Meanwhile, Trader Joes has recieved 319 email requests to open a store in Tampa, FL since you posted.

Haruka just said: "And fully 90% of our purchases were vegan." Except for the dairy, meat, eggs...

My favorite new thing there is the knockoff of the Amy's roasted veggie pizza. It's barely over half the price and tastes the same.

:(

Either that or I'll have to start cruising Whole Foods again.

If that's your demographic, go hang out by the salad bar and act interested whenever anybody tells you about their diet.

which is usually populated by crunchy college girls with more piercings and tattoos than a sailor. Which is not quite my type either. :(

I can handle that.

Whole Foods scares me. The parking lot's all luxury cars and ginormous SUVs. That's just wrong, dude.

but wouldn't join our neighborhood co-op. Whole Foods always made me feel a little creepy at times, even if the food bar was better than the co-op. But still I'd rather spend the money at the co-op, as I'm a member and have a little say in the operation at the end of the year. Plus the staff is friendlier too, and it's a closer walk. :D

:scared:

And I do NOT shop at Whole Paycheck

You guys have a few good local chains down there that are better. And there used to be Wild Oats, before The Health Food Store That Ate Tokyo swallowed them up too.

Smart and Final. Ferreal.

I bet they'll sell though, they don't seem to have the slightest idea of what to do with the place. But Wild Oats had to sell them for the Whole Foods buyout, I'm guessing to keep the anti-trust concerns to a minimum.

Although I do peruse S&F for implements of kitchen destruction at times.

Apollo is a private equity firm that owns or partially owns:

-Linens N Things
-Smart and Final
-AMC Theaters
-Harrah's Entertainment
-Norwegian Cruise Lines
-Oceania Cruises
-Regent Seven Seas Cruises
-Hexion Special Chemicals (which includes Borden Inc)

Henry's is fucking awesome :)

God do I love their bulk items. My favorite thing atm is the tubs of chocolate cinnamon covered pecans they have :9.

:9

Seriously.

You say that like it's a bad thing :p

and Whole Foods is for married, suburban hetero women, where do us gay men shop?

Although we do think Dolores O'Riordan is hot. And a great singer.

What next, you don't hate all men? :)

STRAIGHT ONES. And, a couple of Haruka's are evebn REPUBLICANS. Well, one isn't anymore.

I'm sorry..........

I just realized I haven't hung out with any gay friends in several years, and haven't had a gay roommate now in almost 20 years. I guess just because all my friends have grown up and married and coupled off, and since I got divorced a couple years ago I haven't made a whole lot of new single friends to pal around with.

Oh well, I've still got a good decade in me. :D

single men???


for me!!????


:)



HI YOU TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



lost



:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:



on edit:

next time call me!!!!
which one???

We often see gay men with children there, but not tonight. Tonight, it was definitely an Etheridge theme.

Check your PM.

I saw them in concert earlier this year..They were Amazing.
I was a straight man surrounded by several hundred women who wanted nothing to do with me..It felt like High School :rofl:

I know what you mean!

They put on a hell of a show...they are amazing musicians and performers!!

I'll bet the ratio would have been slightly lower down to the local Piggly Wiggly.

Just saying. :)

Although, I have been to them when I lived in NC!

TEH HORROrz!!

:eyes:

Awesome! :thumbsup:

There was very little downtime.

My sister recently told me that straight women can wear ear cuffs. Me: They can, but they don't.

Still, two women together at Trader Joe's is a pretty good hint.

:hi:

Hmm...

We were in the Saab.

Built like a tank, so you can drive like Hell.

It's digital.

Fanciest fucking toaster I've ever seen.

the Pathmark down the road doesn't encourage vagetarians.

way back when I lived in Austin, I was the boss of some computer operators. When I was short of employees one night, I just walked down the street to a lesbian bar, told the door person I needed to talk to Carla on the dance floor - went in and hauled her off to make her go to work. Her gal friends laughed their asses off. I told Carla, well, your mistake was telling me where you'd be Saturday night....she wailed that HER mistake was thinking it was cool, telling her boss she'd be in a lesbian bar :D

I pretty much did the same thing once.

THEN she tried to tell the door gal to deny me further admittance, but I just winked at her (the door gal) and she melted. NO CONTEST! :D

was your top down?

:shrug:

;)

And FULLY HALF of those cars were Subarus.

I mean, I've seen the Starbucks next door half gay before, but never the Trader Joes.

But then I saw it was posted by you, and I was like, phew!

Or flannel?

Flannel is passe.

That's why most people I know go to TJ's.

I had no idea who Kaia Wilson is.

He'd probably go on the air to mention how polite and reasonable everyone was.

And I'd be the crazy straight lady yelling "Yo! Where'd ya keep the mo-fo iced tea! This better be fair trade and organic!"

We normally get a gallon of their unsweetened Ice Tea every week. Tonight, the shelf was bare.

I blame the lesbians.

:eyes:

And my response.

The pizza hasn't been delivered yet.

If so, luvva PM.

"the pizza hasn't been delivered yet" has so many hot undertones.

x(

...and it was apparently "Hopeless Dweeb Discount Day."

Not sure about the sexual orientation of any of the people in the store...but they were like the mall zombies in "Dawn Of The Dead" who were attempting to re-acquaint themselves with modern conveniences like shopping carts and such. It was literally a room full of stumblef**ks. There'd be a shopping cart on one side of the aisle and a shopping cart on the other and all of a sudden someone would wheel THEIR card down the middle, completely blocking the aisle, and stand there like a deer in the headlights when they realized that pepole wanted to get around them. This happened three times with three different people over the course of five minutes.

I keep hearing these stories over and over again about the "hot" denizens of TJ, be it the people who work there or the customers, and I just don't get it. I've also been to the one off of Almaden in San Jose. If "unattractive" and "clueless" is an aphrodisiac, then I guess it's a regular hormone factory. But I'd need at least a couple of bottles of Two Buck Chuck to consider even a sideways glance at most of the regulars.

I guess the "magic" that TJ is known for across the U.S. just doesn't carry over into California.

:silly:

It's a Welcoming Congregation, and that's definitely important to me.

*stupid* n/t

...and I'm not even a Lesbian!

Damn, it's been too long since I've been to Joe's. Nearest one is about 35 miles away, and with gas prices as ridiculous as they are, I can't make that trip as often as I used to :evilfrown:

When I was there though, there did seem to be quite a few female couples present, so it must be part of the International Lesbian Conspiracy, or whatever. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Especially if it has anything to do with building more Trader Joes.

Maybe it would help if they knew we have Lesbians in Olympia too?

Who do you think got Kurt Cobain into flannel?

I miss the affordable cheese and the "Two-buck Chuck" (which really costs about three dollars).

Lesbians, not so much. It's mostly Westlake/Bay Village housefraus.

But I've never eaten at Trader Joe's. How is it?

you never know.
