BYO Part 3

I was back at Whole Foods today and decided to try using my own containers again. I planned to pick up some beans in the bulk section, so I actually brought back a couple of the bags that we used in the past so I wouldn't have to get new ones. And I brought a couple plastic containers for beef - I was planning to get some ground chuck and a couple pounds of brisket. This time I tried to be a bit more explicit that I didn't want the extra paper. This time it went off without a hitch - at least for the ground beef. For the brisket, they took in the back to cut it and brought it back already in a styrofoam tray wrapped in plastic. Guess I can't win.

In some ways, I feel a little self-conscious about rocking the boat and making special requests. I guess it's the type of the thing I have to get used to. I have a feeling it's not something they see much even at Whole Foods.
