Bloomberg’s point was that it’s cheaper than all grocery stores, not just the “upscale” ones... I live next to a C Town and the WF is much cheaper. A lot of the street vendors in Chinatown have produce that is less expensive than certain items than a(ny) grocery store, but they’re not grocery stores, and that’s what I was responding to. And unless you’re planning on eating your durian and bok choy solo—or planning on using some toilet paper after—you’re not really “getting it”.

It’s also cheaper to just eat at Vanessa’s every day, but again, you’re missing the point.
