I don't understand the Berkeley Bowl

[pantryslut]

Last week, they lacked any sort of olive oil I was used to using, except for Colavita in small, small bottles.

Today they had both Stutz Mediterranean in bottles, and Liohori organic olive oil in tins.

I'd already bought the Stutz elsewhere, but my need for a big tin of olive oil has been unexpectedly alleviated. Really, all I went in for was some greens and a Delicata squash...

(and marjoram, which was missing from the farmer's market this week.)

I also came the closest I've ever come to ramming someone with my shopping cart. It's OK to stand in the middle of the aisle, loudly discussing plum ripeness issues with someone who may or may not be an employee -- but it is not cool to give me a dirty look when I say "excuse me."

Obviously, he only shops there on the weekdays, because weekend Bowl warriors would have mowed him down without a second thought.

I think the run on olive oil must have been due to weekend grocery madness and no more, or else only one brand would have been missing, I would think. But who knows. It is a mystery unfathomable to me.
