COOL OR NOT COOL: Getting Into A Fist Fight During Your Coop Shift?
The Park Slope Food Coop is really like the gift that just keeps on givin for me. This weekend I received the above tweet from my fave nabe novelist Amy Sohn.
A FIGHT?? AT OUR BELOVED "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" FOOD COOP? Dreams really do come true, ppl.
Now as of now, our contact at the Coop is denying there was any fight, so all of this shit is purely rumorsville. But also this was too damn juicy to resist.
Of course, I begged the Twitterverse for some additional details, and received one more interesting little nugget:
Ok, now we're gettin somewhere! Two cashiers threw down! Over what? (Amy heard that it was about 2 weeks ago). Some decent guesses regarding the origin of the alleged, potentially imaginary fight also started to roll in via Twitter:
Saddened by this turn of events, I decided to consult the PSFC's mission statement to see if I could uncover anything more:
We respect the environment. We strive to reduce the impact of our lifestyles on the world we share with other species and future generations. We prefer to buy from local, earth-friendly producers. We recycle. We try to lead by example, educating ourselves and others about health and nutrition, cooperation and the environment.
We are committed to diversity and equality. We oppose discrimination in any form. We strive to make the Coop welcoming and accessible to all and to respect the opinions, needs and concerns of every member. We seek to maximize participation at every level, from policy making to running the store.
We welcome all who respect these values.
Hmm, well clearly there is no specific references to fighting. I mean, there is nothing there that states: DO NOT BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR FELLOW COOP MEMBERS! So I guess if this bullshit *is* actually true, the two Rocky Balboa wannabes are in the clear?
Any one anywhere have details? Something? Anything? Or is this just the stuff that dreams are made of?
In the meantime, for the record I vote: TOTALLY. FUCKING. COOL.
p.s. If this shit did really happen and anyone happens to have video of this, I will literally pay you a million dollars for it. That's a 1 followed by 6 zeroes.
