Hi Nancy,

 NB> the  NB>> lemon will work to make it drinkable...  ;)

 RH> Sometimes even lemon won't improve the taste of the water--I've tried
 RH> it. Not the little bit of lemon you get in most places anyway.

 NB> That's when you have to request a bit more lemon...  :)  If the
 NB> water's that bad, the tea won't be any good, either...  ;)

And that's why I order soft drinks, so I don't have to play guessing
games with the local water. Sometimes tea can be bad, even if the water
is good, if the container they make it in hasn't been cleaned well (or
at all). That was just one of a number of problems at a TGIFriday's we
had some years ago.

 NB>  NB>> I don't think I've even ever seen any of them...

 RH> Look in Lori's or other natural foods stores, maybe Wegman's might

 NB> I'll keep an eye out... I'm pretty sure Wegmans doesn't carry it, but
 NB> I've been wrong before...

I know they carry the Zevia sodas but not sure about Blue Sky.


 NB>  NB>> BTW, I just happened on a coupon for Zevia sodas... are you
 NB> interested  NB>> in it...?  I could mail it to you...

 RH> Right now I'm not sure when we'll get down to Whole Foods again. If
 RH> it's got some time before expiration, it might be worth mailing. OTOH,
 RH> postage went up to .49 today so consider that as well.

 NB> It's dated 4/15/14, so there's some time on it... actually I found a
 NB> second one also... $1 off a six-pack... And we stocked up somewhat on
 NB> the Forever stamps before the rate hike...  ;)

We stocked up on the stamps too. (G) May as well send the coupons, we
should be getting around more before they expire. Mom has taken a
downward turn so we're trying to figure out travel logistics if we have
to get up there before Steve is allowed to drive. Right now, we figure
the best bet is hitch a ride with my brother who lives in Florida--if he
plans to drive up.

 NB>  NB>> It appears that most of the traffic at the hot food and salad
 NB> tables  NB>> is for grab and go... so they tend to also grab a bottled
 NB> drink, and  NB>> pay for it at the regular registers for the store...
 NB> people eating  NB>> right there at the store are steady, but not too
 NB> many at once,

 RH> Whole Foods has a lot of grab and go customers but they also have a
 RH> fair sized cafe section that is busy, especially at lunch time. They do
 RH> some things fresh on ordering as well as the pre done foods.

 NB> It's a whole complex at Wegmans... the sub shop, the hot and cold
 NB> tables, the sushi bar, the pizza shop, the prepared foods (including
 NB> the $6 & up meals), a coffee bar... I think I remembered them all...
 NB> ;)
 NB> Also a few open coolers with sandwiches and salad ready-made... and
 NB> the coolers against the wall with all the bottled drinks...  ;)

IOW, if you can't find something to eat, you're either a really picky
eater or not really that hungry. (G)

 NB> off,  NB>> with no one in the area to police it, and make sure that
 NB> nobody is  NB>> just taking soda without paying for it...  Some day I
 NB> might
 NB>  NB>> inquire.... ;)

 RH> Also for cleaning/maintainence I suspect.

 NB> Of the area..?  that pretty much is done throughout the day...  Of the
 NB> Coke machine...?  that could give them a reason to take it down
 NB> regularly anyway, I suppose... :)

Machine maintainence--required cleaning and such like.
