They had square melons for $100 each at Wholefoods last time I was there.

And to clarify, it was just a normal watermelon that had been grown in a clear box so it went square.

really excited to get more benefits from my annual $109.41 besides two-day shipping and free streaming of a handful of middlebrow tv series for educated white ppl like me!

Apparently They have Duchess du Bourgogne at the local WF, so I might have to stop by

I went shopping at Whole Foods today and my takeaway was that my bill was maybe $15 cheaper than I expected. That's purely conjecture, though.

fwiw there are claims that this is due to use of an ordering system that was implemented before Amazon took over, but it seems a little too coincidental that problems with it only came after Amazon took over.

I noticed this the first week after Amazon bought WF but it's gotten a bit better
Still a problem, there is like next to no fresh bread left in the evening -- this used to not be the case
