I don't eat them myself, but people are always telling me the bananas with the brown spots are the tastiest ones.
Why do you fear bananas?

I can't shop at Whole foods because the company does not exist here yet. However, that's besides, the point. I go the grocery stores and the food there is just so good. Sure, quality sometimes varies from store to store, but that depends on the certain factors such as which season, which state the product came from, how old the stock. You cannot avoid products using pesticides.Wrong, sorry! California has very VERY strict guidelines on what can be labeled organic, and it is not just some marketing gimmick like "New!" or "Improved!". California takes the term "organic" as seriously as it does allowing pharmacies to sell genuine medicines. California is the #1 agricultural producer in the United States, and we basically invented the whole organic non-GMO movement. Organic means no pesticides, additives or chemical fertilizers. It does not necessarily mean non-GMO, however. Whole Foods only sells organic produce, and it is noticeably higher quality. With no labels or anything, you can easily SEE the quality produce. They do not allow bruised fruit, wilted lettuce or brown spotted bananas.
Have you ever shopped at Whole Foods?
What makes organic farming different, then? It's not the use of pesticides, it's the origin of the pesticides used. Organic pesticides are those that are derived from natural sources and processed lightly if at all before use. This is different than the current pesticides used by conventional agriculture, which are generally synthetic. It has been assumed for years that pesticides that occur naturally (in certain plants, for example) are somehow better for us and the environment than those that have been created by man. As more research is done into their toxicity, however, this simply isn't true, either. Many natural pesticides have been found to be potential - or serious - health risks.2

You can say that they don't use fertilizer but they do.
As for bruised fruits and wiled lettuce, that's in most food stores here. You won't see those in any stores. No one likes buying food that looks unappealing because no one wants to put that in their mouth knowing well that it will make them sick. That's why record number of food is thrown away each year. This is regardless of whether it's organic or inorganic or which country you are from. I am not sure why people use that silly term. Each item is grown from the ground and up.
Here we don't have a problem with quality of foods. Generally most of our vegetables look nice and appealing.Like Lord Ba'al said, the brown spotted bananas are the tastiest. But Whole Foods will take them off the display unless they are perfect. Same with apples, peaches, whatever. You can ask the store workers where something comes from, and they will be able to tell you. Try that anywhere else. What happens here with the food that does not make the grade is that it goes to discount markets who will easily sell it for much less. A rejected spotted Whole Foods banana is still organic and sourced as locally as possible.
If Amazon is doing so badly then how come Jeff Bezos is so rich? And how can they stay in business if they've never made a profit? Something doesn't quite seem to add up there.

Google says that Amazon.com has a net worth of 90 billion USD.
Google also says that Amazon.com had a gross operating profit:

That Fresh Thyme stuff looks interesting. I wouldn't mind going to one next time I'm in USA. Last time I was there I did go to a whole foods to have a look around. Man that shit was overpriced. The only thing I ended up buying was a fresh pizza slice, which strangely for about 3 bucks and a half was not too expensive.

Taxis are fine here. And cheap. Only time it's hard to get a cab is mainly when everybody is out and using them. And sometimes when there's been an accident somewhere. Because this fucking shithole city gets gridlocked as soon as some moron drives off the road on the freeway. I kid you not.
Don't you both reside in the same city?
Yep we do. I think @Azaliarazor has a different definition of what a long wait is.
After pulling a 10 hour shift, at 10pm, anything longer than 20 mintues is bullshit. Plus, sometimes they just say...call back later, we don't have any.
