Those items are food

Letters like the one I just read in the Willy Street Co-op's newsletter are the reason to belong to the Co-op. It begins:

Kindly advise your cashiers not to shove food towards customers in an effort to make them bag groceries more quickly. It's a bit indecorous. Those items are food that we've spent our hard-earned money to buy.

While you're at it, cashiers, stop pressing those keys so hard. Hurts my ears. And by the way, I work.

The letter about undue stress brought on by the article about green breastfeeding also is a keeper. Ah, Madison's fashionable east side.
