Default grocery store produce section


The change was so gradual that I didn't even notice while it was
happening, but I don't see fresh produce that I used to see. For
instance, there's no curly endive, escarole, or frizee where I shop
anymore. They have been replaced by Asian greens such as bok choy and
gai lan. It's a reflection of the community they serve.

The big thing here is the produce section is the same size but the
types are reduced to make room for organics at a large price addition.
To make room, they have reduced the variety on offer.
