I love grocery shopping, so much so that two weeks ago I drove three hours round-trip to see the German grocer Lidl’s foray into the U.S. And so naturally, on Monday, I went to check out Whole Foods on the day that Amazon’s purchase took effect.

A decade ago, when I was a poor Senate aide, the Whole Foods in Old Town Alexandria was my closest grocery store. I shopped there a few times, but only until I learned to find my way around to the actual grocery stores. (This was pre-iPhone and Android.)
