WHOLE FOODS:<\/p>\n
Your observations don’t apply only to the rich.\u00a0 We have a total breakdown of civil society – especially in Los Angeles.\u00a0 \u00a0It’s all ‘me first.’\u00a0 \u00a0No effort for the common good.<\/p>\n
I recently broke a bone in my foot.\u00a0 When I went to my office Downtown,\u00a0 I took the subway.\u00a0 As I hobbled onto the train with a boot and a cane, the handicapped seats were usually occupied by people on their phones pretending not to notice the huge boot.\u00a0 I could see them glance up.\u00a0 \u00a0Only a handful of times was I offered a seat.\u00a0 \u00a0 This started a general observation.\u00a0 Those in handicapped seats normally did not give them up to those in need.<\/p>\n
So – to compliment your e-mail – here is a list of common behaviors that I find to be outside of normal civility.<\/p>\n
The Purse Digger – c’mon, you know you’re going to be needing your wallet at the checkout.\u00a0 Get it out before.<\/p>\n
The ‘Oh-Hi’ People – don’t block the aisle talking to your friend.\u00a0 I’ve been glared at for moving other peoples carts.<\/p>\n
Do You Have Parents? – Kids running around at risk of getting run over by a shopping cart.<\/p>\n
Elevator\/Subway Car Etiquette – Let people OFF before you barrel in!<\/p>\n
‘Oh-Hi’ Person in a Queue\u00a0 – Long line of folks waiting for something.\u00a0 Friend comes up to say ‘oh-hi.’\u00a0 Before long, they’re in the line in front of everyone else who was waiting.<\/p>\n
Picky Folks at a Salad Bar – I once was behind someone choosing individual croutons.\u00a0 ’nuff said.<\/p>\n
Gate Lice and Baggage Claim – We all know of gate lice.\u00a0 I’m also bothered by those who crowd baggage claim.\u00a0 Step back and step forward when you see your bag.<\/p>\n
The Fake Breakdown – double parking is now ok if you have your emergency flashers on.\u00a0 I try to be a good sam and ask if could call AAA for them.\u00a0 I’ve been called an a*hole for trying to help.<\/p>\n
Stop Sign Scofflaws –\u00a0 There’s a four way stop near my house.\u00a0 \u00a0Accidents happen, two cars go at one turn, cars breeze through.\u00a0 \u00a0Put a few traffic cops there and it would make a difference in balancing the city budget.<\/p>\n
Parking Spot Vultures\u00a0 –\u00a0 holding up a whole row just to get a spot a few spaces closer.\u00a0 This is experienced so often at Costco that I’ll purposely park at the far end and walk.<\/p>\n
Talking at Movies or Concerts\u00a0 – I don’t want to hear about your opinion on a restaurant\u00a0 or spa during a music performance.\u00a0 \u00a0 There’s a lobby for that if you’re bored or have no attention span.<\/p>\n
Thanks for presenting an opportunity for me to release my inner Larry David.<\/p>\n

Oh Yeah. But the guy who brought his pitbull with metal spiked collar and just roamed around Trader Joe\u2019s –<\/p>\n
The check- out guy told me there\u2019s a law protecting every \u201ctherapy pet\u201d.<\/p>\n
Really? Like this pit bull was a comfort animal? I don\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m a dog-lover and dog owner but I don\u2019t bring my dog inside any stores, or anywhere he might potentially cause a problem for other humans.<\/p>\n
(Btw, I worked at WF during the pandemic.\u00a0They treat their employees like sh*t. And now that it\u2019s corporate, (owned by Amazon), they got rid of homeopathic remedies by the dozen. I guess the Amazon people don\u2019t understand what organic really means, other than organic profits.)<\/p>\n

when i went to see “a complete unknown”, a woman got behind me on line with her “support” animal in her bag. being as i have no compunction about such things, i asked her if she seriously was taking her pet into the theater (meanwhile the dog was barking at dogs that walked by). every person on line who had been cooing over the dog, gave me a look like “how dare you”. seriously? when we got to the ticket office, i asked her what movie she was going to see and of course she was in for the dylan movie. i told the guy to refund my money. sent an email to the\u00a0laemmle management, who offered to give me free passes in stead. i didn’t take them. that wasn’t the point “if dogs run free, then why not (me)”…indeed.<\/p>\n

I live in Minneapolis and a couple years ago my family went to Scottsdale for a vacation and could not believe how many people were out in public, in Target, shopping malls and other stores with their dogs.<\/p>\n
We do take our medium sized dog to Home Depot or Lowes, because they say you can bring your dog there\u00a0– i generally keep her in the cart as we move down the aisles, but would never think of bringing her to a grocery store or mall.<\/p>\n
People have gotten ridiculous with their expectations and selfishness with their pets<\/p>\n

I live in Palm Beach County and routinely encounter plenty of self-entitled a*sholes \u2014 many with their doggies in inappropriate places.<\/p>\n
I like dogs and have no issues with them. It’s the dumbass owners who can’t go to a f*ckin’ store or restaurant without ’em. That’s the problem!<\/p>\n
As for Wholey Foods, when I buy cold cuts there (rarely), I try to get the store-packaged stuff and avoid the lines. The fish is good too but\u00a0this\u00a0is insanely great!<\/p>\n
