Finally!

Dear Carral's Convenience Store,

You have so much potential!  Here we are, in a beautiful apartment building filled with young professionals, ready and willing to spent too much of their paycheck on overpriced hippie junk food specifically marketed to the cultural creative demographic.  I opt to not have a car in my life, because it isn't necessary for me.  In a tropical climate, there is no place in the metro area that my bike can't get me to. However, our millennial generation is a busy one.  When I can, I make plans to get across the Venetian Causeway via carpool, bus, or again, just bike to Whole Foods/Wild Oats on a weekly basis. But sometimes my travel schedule heats up and grabbing fresh fruits and vegetables isn't realistic.

When a time/food shopping crisis occurs, I always come and check out your store, located on the ground floor of my building.  Each and every visit, I am let down with artificial products filled with chemicals that define why Americans are so unhealthy.  Though, I was stoked one night when I discovered a well stocked collection of SFRB, my legal drug of choice in work emergencies.

I wouldn't trade the large lap-swimmable outdoor pool at Bay Park Plaza for anything.  But after swimming, or riding my bike home from yoga in the park like I just did now, sometimes I would kill for a product branded by Amy's, Annie's, or Liz Lovely (BEST VEGAN COOKIES EVER). So today, I decided I'd get over my food snobbery and buy some Tropicana, as I was dying for something fruitlike.  To my surprise, you're now stocking Naked! Win one for the hippie chic crowd who have been brainwashed to down yummy products directly marketed to people like me.  At least I admit it?

The point is, you will make bank if you continue to stock unneccesarily expensive food.  Try it, one product at a time, I guarantee you the sales of these items outsell your usual stock.  I'll even help you order!

Time to get back to work with a $2.99 15 oz juice and yerba mate helping me along.

Love,

Emily White
