How many times have you visited the Whole Foods salad bar and ogled the organic quinoa and shredded kale, surreptitiously “sampling” a marinated mushroom here and a cherry tomato there? Once? Twice? Every single time you visit Whole Foods?

You are powerless against the salad bar. That’s our only explanation for why shoppers at a Los Angeles Whole Foods routinely overpaid for their their arugula-and-edamame-filled containers, and why the natural foods chain is now coughing up $800,000 to make up for it.

Don’t do it.

There probably should be. Like your parents. Your health. Fluffy animals. You know. Things.

Put your hands up and step away from the salad bar.

No.
