LA Whole Foods

So, Ash, I'm going to write this like it's a letter to you.  Really, your name is just a proxy for anyone who reads it (which will really likely just be you but whatever!)

So there's a few things we need to resolve before moving to Whole Foods, I mean LA!  Which Whole Foods will we be working at?

There's a West Los Angeles store (11666 National Blvd
Los Angeles  California  90064).  I guess the best way to learn about these stores is to check out their Facebook pages.  We all have the same sales fliers!

So I didn't know how else to find reviews and that kind of stuff, so I posted a comment on their Facebook page:
        I didn't know what else to ask them, but I wanted to make it sound like I was in a hurry and casual at the same time.  Hopefully I don't only get a response from their social media person, or from people telling me the store they work at is the best (even though that's what I asked).
       What were the other stores we were thinking about again?  I'm having trouble finding them here.  But, I'm going to look at the craigslist a lot.  Bookmark it!  http://losangeles.craigslist.org/  I'll put in a good twenty minutes here every day.  
        I also bugged Raechel about putting us up in late June for a preliminary reconnaissance mission:
                               

          So I like doing screen captures.  But basically I'm going to just update this thing every day with developments from whatever and whatnot.  I think the Silver Lake Whole Foods might be opening right when we get down there, coincidentally.  I'm not having any luck finding an actual date for it though.
          
            Reviews for every one of these stores are good, and like any other business they don't tell you anything.  Five star reviews make each store sound like the best one ever:
            
             So the 3rd street store doesn't suck I guess.  But then one customer says the whole place smells like fish!  I don't know about you Ash, but I want to experience how badly it smells in person before I trust a reviewer who doesn't even have a profile picture.  Area code for this one is 90036 by the way.
             
             Glendale store reviews don't help much either, as far as working there would go.
             
            A store that carries expired items sounds like my kind of store!  I'm leaning toward this one so far.
           
            Another finding: Pretty fun little thing that tells you about what's going on in Silver Lake.  I'm really hoping that Silver Lake store opens right when we get there, it will have been meant to be.
         
            Some of these stores have pretty weird positions available, Ash.  There's a job called "Cashier Assistant", a department called "Housekeeping", and Juice Bar jobs!  Also, there's this one:
            
 General interest sounds funny and here's a list of it's requirements:
Nice.

Anyway from now on:

Monday:  Updates from the weekend!
Tuesdays:  Craigslist Tuesdays!
Wednesdays:  Apartment Search!
Thursdays:  Whole Foods investigations
Friday:  Other opportunities in LA/General LA stuff to be excited about
