i'll say it again. if the grocery store relief albus is providing to the five points ghetto is a fucking sprouts that dude needs to seriously check his ambitions. or maybe he's taking the hancock model and telling the black folks he grew up with to go fuck themselves. |
That is a strange observation. But since it's yours, it's accurate for you. The reality is that Sprouts is less expensive. From my experience, not buying Prosecco or Tom's toothpaste, or organic cat food, Sprouts is generally less expensive then Whole Foods and King Soopers. And always less than Safeway. I frequently compare the few things I always get at the Sprouts with what Safeway offers. Kale, apples, avocados, bananas, oranges, grapes and half and half are always priced higher at Safeway. Frozen meals are more at Sprouts, but that's because they are better quality, I believe.
And keep in mind, Albus is not providing this, the developer is. Why would you be so upset that "the black people he grew up with" get to shop a a place that emphasizes fresh produce at a decent price? I'd think this is the sort of thing that should be encouraged.
Another strange observation is classifying your neighborhood as a ghetto. It does not appear to look like a ghetto. It does have a somewhat higher concentration of lower income people, but far from a ghetto. It's clear that you're set in your ways and that you hate Sprouts. That's fine. Don't ruin is for the rest of us.
