Health food store people are brutal. I worked in a kitchen with a pal doing the take away pre-made salads and sandwiches and I also handled the baked goods and the food questions we would be asked were fucking astounding. Sometimes down to asking if some certain arcane chemicals were present in a vegetable or fruit which when looked up turned out to be the pigments in tomatoes that make them red and shit like that. Like asking for veggies without cellulose or something. I got to hand away meat questions cause I don’t eat it but im sure people were asking if their meat was mitochondria free.
One of my favorites is the “healthy” brands of “organic” chicken that say hormone/antibiotic free and then with a little asterisk and in the corner “USDA regulations do not permit hormones or anti-biotics to be used in poultry”.
Also I was once asked if we carry grass fed chicken lmao.

Pastured chicken, and organic… black truffle salt? It’s a bit of a stretch.
Pasture raised chicken, are you sure all them bugs were raised “organic”?
