If you go to the new Fresh & Easy grocery store on Seventh Street and Nebraska Avenue, or the older location on Spring Street and Palo Verde Avenue, don't plan on paying with a check. The stores accept only cash and credit or debit cards. Whole Foods may soon follow the trend.
The Los Angeles Times explains
I think for most people in the 4th st. neighborhood, the more important questions is: Do they accept food stamps?
It's a nice store but I wonder if it can survive long. Most of the shopping carts have already "walked off" costing them several thousand dollars in the first few days they are open.
Plus I see they have already added a security guard.
Sadly, the neighborhood is slipping back down into the morass it was slowly climbing from when I moved in here 11 years ago.
