So the other day I went to Whole Foods-which is inevitably a place I do not belong. In Boulder (and most likely everywhere else) Whole Foods is like fly paper for dirty yuppies who feel that they need all natural organic food at outrageous prices. The parking lot is the size of a barbie condo and is even worse because it is under construction making my desire to run people over like ginormous and one. But I went to simply refill my freaking Dr. Bronner's bottles-which, apparently you have to take the bottles to customer service and weight the bottles, they don't trust you to do it yourself like at most smaller co-op stores. So I didn't do this because I didn't know that we were supposed to and continued to proceed back to the soap station. I was filling the lavender one and decided to also do it half baby mild because I love baby mild. When I went to pump the baby mild the pump was sort of broken and up on the higher shelf. I tried to kind of jimmie rig the thing by slamming the top of the pump down and holding it in place. As I was attempting to do this I slammed down on the pump trying to get it into my bottle and my hand slipped. The Baby Mild came shooting out and splashed into my face directly hitting my eye. Oh my goodness the pain of castille soap in the eyeball. And of course there is no water in that store anywhere close by. Luckily a very nice fish counter working man was walking by and was like come with me to the back to the eyewash station. He proceeded to hold my hand and guide me through the store, meanwhile I am cracking up laughing to keep from crying because it hurt so so badly. Then I used the eyewash station which I have never done before and the fish counter dude hadn't used it either but we figured it out mine with one eye closed and blurry. I was able to clean ot my eye, however my entire outfit and chest were still covered in Baby Mild soap and it wasn't until I got back to Estes that I was able to shower and wash it all off.
I would recommend not going to Whole Foods ever as it is a scary alternative universe. And just because the food is organic doesn't make it local, free range, or sustainably made. And they really should fix the pumps on those bottles...
