We found out when we got to Whole Foods Market at Columbus Circle that this wasn't going to be the tranquil, relaxing Sunday evening shopping experience that we were used to in Redmond. I have been to this location a couple of times before, but apparently not when all of Manhattan is trying to pick up a bite to take home for dinner at the same time they pick up their cookie and snack provisions for the week. It was quite a scene, with the express line snaking all around the store in such a circuitous fashion that they assigned a dedicated employee to hold up a sign and mark the end of the line.
Luckily we were able to pick out the items we needed fairly quickly (mostly items to pack in J's lunch for the week). After all of the jostling in the aisles, we were relieved to see that the checkout lines were remarkably efficient, and we were through to the outside in no time.
