When I bitched (again) in a casually frustrated way to a staffer at TJ about the frequent disappearances, he tried to put it in terms of many different suppliers and a constant drive to find good things and keep them affordable.

Yeah, the TJ produce does go bad too quickly too often! Cautious about it. Asked about and emphasized it was a thing, and staff reacted as if never heard such complaints and had nothing to say when I asked if they bought second-quality, older produce to get deals. There's one of our chants when the protests start: "What good is cheap if the fruit don't keep?!"

I suspect TJ's sources produce more or less locally, because I've not had a problem with it, at least no more than at my go-to market, Berkeley Bowl West. One day I'll pay $0.69 there for a pound of strawberries (really) that last a good while, another day a $2.00 basket will turn in a couple days.

I'm at peace with the disappearing stuff (except, maybe, the 12 oz. tins of Bay Blend coffee beans), because I understand that they're dealing with sometimes ad hoc supply circumstances to keep their prices (relatively) low.

i made a grateful dead playlist on snotify, as i do sometimes with bands that i usually would have to skip tracks when listening to the albums. chronological order, focusing first and primarily on the studio albums.
i was surprised at how big it ended up being. 313 songs; 34 hours.
