Dear Old Hippie Lady,

It is *not* appropriate to negotiate prices in line at Safeway just because some vaguely similar items were on sale. Your extreme narcissism and general belief that you don't have to follow the same rules as all of the "little people" is unfortunately common among certain communities in Berkeley, including North Side. I'm sorry that the angelically polite Safeway staff enabled you by giving you your discounts, because you're just going to pull the same crap next time.

I did, however, appreciate the alacrity with which you fled when I yelled at you to go to the courtesy phone to deal with the fact that you suddenly decided that you wanted to give back an item you'd already bought and paid for. The Safeway staff had been trying to tell you to do that for a few minutes, and you had been ignoring them because you once more were sure that you didn't have to follow the same rules as everyone else. I also appreciated the fact that the Safeway staff were totally cool with my blowing my stack after 10+ minutes of watching your psychopathic antics.

Maybe you'd be better served doing your shopping at the Ashby Flea Market next time. Except you probably couldn't get your arugula there.



A very frustrating trip to Safeway this evening. Even before the fake hippie, there were three sorority girls who genuinely didn't seem to know how to pay for their food, and dealt with this problem by all standing in front of the cashier, playing with their iPhones.
