I need my safe place

I went to the Safeway in Potrero Hill for the first time in only a month or two, but now it's all changed around. They yuppified it, and it sucks. They have a kitchen accessories section with overpriced measuring cups and a Williams-Sonoma cookbook rack. They have a much-expanded natural foods section (formerly the natural food aisle) with a bunch of bulk food bins at the end. The coffee section seems to cover three aisles now. The vegetable section now has hardwood floors and organic tomatoes stacked into neat little pyramids. They shrank the size of the checkout lanes so everyone is jammed in there together.

They also have a giant circular nut bar. Seriously, like the size of my bedroom. I'm not sure if I was just hallucinating, but I think you can put your special blend of nuts into a grinder there and make your own peanut butter. WTF?

It's weird because that Safeway is fairly ghetto, and San Francisco is already packed full of Trader Joe's and Whole Foods and Bi-Rite already. Do they think the overpriced grocery demographic is underserved?

If this is their new plan, I'm surprised they haven't yuppified the Safeway at Church and Market yet. But then again, I haven't been there in a week.
