So I was at Whole Foods today on my way to my car after work. I was trying to find something to make a quick dinner. We have a lot of meatballs in our freezer and I decided to make meatball subs, easy right? I only needed cheese and bread. But it was a meatball sub, so I wanted to get some sort of French roll. So I looked and passed the organic white bread, organic wheat bread, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, vegan bread, pita bread, etc. Hmm...no French rolls. Wait, I see some kind of roll...oh wait, they're dinner rolls. Oh, there's La Brea baguettes. But they're really long and hard. Heh. I just wanted some submarine sandwich bread, really!! Argh! So I waited for the workers to help me. They're usually very helpful, from what I remember. So I wait. There's a lady in front of me. She orders 2 large skim cappuccinos. Argh, that's going to take a while and there's only one person working back there. I look at the bread area again. Nope, not there still. Well apparently cappuccinos are harder to make than I thought (which is BS because I worked at Starbuck's for 2 years and I can make 2 cappuccino's in about 1.5 minutes, depending on what type of milk, and if I wanted to be efficient). So I wait and look around for someone else to help me. Nope, no one. So time passes and I finally get to ask him the one simple question. I asked and he stared at me blankly. I was trying to describe the bread, "you know, like the bread they use at Subway or Togo's or any sandwich shop," but still nothing. He was like, you can cut the baguettes and make a sandwich out of them. And I was like, I guess I can, but they are too hard!! I just want BREAD! Then he was like, hmmm...and I got excited because I thought he was thinking of a good idea. But then he walked over to the hot dog buns and picked them up and I was like, "No, it's not the same, I'm sorry, I don't want to be difficult." So I stopped. I put the cheese back and walked out. I really wished Trader Joe's opened there instead and I should've went to Ralph's when I had the chance. I miss Breadsticks too. So I ended up making chicken and pasta. It was very yummy, but the ordeal was frustrating.
