Whole Foods: now with valet parking

We're becoming so LA. A friend was just saying this in reference to the scene at a fundraiser this past Sunday on the terrace of a hip new SOMA loft with a couple of Hollywood stars. Now this:

You can't know what a relief it is to me that the San Francisco Whole Foods Market now offers valet parking on weekends. "We knew that drivers were frustrated by the congestion in the parking lot," explained the store's Wade Williams.

Frustrated! Terrified might be a better way of putting it. For some time I have been willing to risk starvation -- or eating nonorganic food; I haven't quite decided which of these options is, scientifically speaking, more harmful -- rather than brave the rage-filled pit that is the lower-level parking lot during peak weekend hours.
