There is no store I have more of a love/hate relationship with than Central Market. It's where I do the vast majority of my grocery shopping. But there are aspects of the store that drive me crazy, most notably, the other people that shop there. So, I'm introducing a new feature to The Summer of Steve called: Central Market Douchebag of the Week. No doubt this feature will go the way of the dodo like my other features – Daily Minutae and Worst Person in the World. But to be fair, the latter was caused by a cease and desist order from MSNBC.This week's candidates:
- The Anal-Retentive chef that meticulously tied each produce sack with a twist tie before weighing his produce, thus preventing anyone from using that scale until he was done.
- The Aren't We Precious High School/College chicks clogging up the cheese area (ironic?) by having one girl push the oversized cart with little in it while the other holds an iPhone up to her ear so she can tell her friend about being at Central Market.
- The Introspective Rabbi sitting outside the café on a 30° day. I don't think he was really a rabbi. But he was doing his darndest to look like a young Bob Dylan – all the while scribbling down his insightful poetic ramblings while sipping his latte.
- The Bald Dude with the Hipster-Doofus glasses passing judgment on all he sees around him

What about...
"Serious" athlete dressed in head-to-toe Patagonia or Under Armour who only buys whole grain wheat germ because it has the highest glutamites per parsec, but then throws it in his/her SUV and heads down to the Idle Rich to quaff f'n Miller Lites.
I think I've seen that bald dude before...
