Earlier this month, I blogged about wondrously cheap and fresh produce at Berkeley Bowl off Shattuck. The Los Angeles Times wrote an article on Sept. 22 about the very same Berkeley Bowl, but painted a rather darker picture of the store as a realm of violent and ruthless shoppers bent on getting their produce, and of soup-Nazi-esque strictness that punishes sampling with a lifetime ban from the premises.
Juvenile delinquents at Berkeley Bowl just moments before being forcibly ejected from the premises by an armed enforcement officer for sampling nectarines.
I had to laugh at their title, though: “At Berkeley Bowl, the nuts are off the shelf”.
L.A. traffic. Who are the real nuts?
