I don't consider warehouse an epithet. I simply meant that Monterey Market's character is distinct from, say, the over-the-top Whole Foods spa-serene atmosphere. With half the stock situated outdoors and the rather drab interior, it's a utilitarian marketplace; although, one that could probably benefit from some of Temple Grandin's designs to corral and calm the more aggressive customers. As for markets on my side of the bay, there are several good options, but no store is perfect. However, if it's after 7:00 pm or a Sunday, I can pretty easily go grab some pastured eggs, whereas you'll probably have to slum it at the corner market or, worse, the Bowl.
