Scarlet Letter(s) For Food Co-op Members

Remember that New York Times confessional about the shame of being a lapsed Park Slope Food Co-op member? Well, Gothamist reports, it has spawned a new line of t-shirts. Prompted by the article, one community member “decided to make a series of shirts and products that let Coop members and others wear their statuson the outside.” The result: Coop Tees. While “Suspended at the Coop” is clearly the most fun, there are several other taglines affixed to both tee shirts and tote bags, including “Pulling a Double at the Coop” and “Doing a Makeup at the Coop.” Good times.
“Such violence in support of C-Town…I hope you own stock!”
Fucking is not violence, it’s sex. Maybe we can try it sometime.
Denton,
Such violence in support of C-Town…I hope you own stock!
Seems to me a lot of the coop detractors have a case of coop envy.
Rob, Dave and a number of other commenters, from what I can gather, would enjoy the coop from a number of angles.
🙂
based on my time working at the express register, how about:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE NOT A MEMBER? HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
the joy of working at the coop is just a fog that eventually burns-off
How about:
FUCK THE CO-OP
SHOP C-TOWN
Dave…I think you should rethink your attitude…you might “enjoy” the coop more than you now realize. I’ll the rest unsaid…everything implied.
Now, I don’t wear T-shirts…and I can imagine it’s a bit late in the season to go around in one, but I there are a couple of other lines that could be used on the T-shirts. since the kids who put these together are probably reading this, why not try?:
We need a Co-Counter!
at the Coop…
Next Express!
at the Coop…
Next Regular!

I’m here to do a make-up
at the Coop…
Ginger, pick up on line 2…
at the Coop…
If you have few items and nothing needs to be weighed, you can go directly to the cashiers
at the Coop…
I’ve always wanted to try that…how do you cook it?
at the Coop…
What’s your number?

i would never shop at the co-op. i dont even believe in the practic or theory behind it. i think it’s good to support supermarkets that provide jobs for people. yes it might cost a little more, but at least im doing my part to better the economy. co-op food shopping is selfish and totally self aggrandizing
*rob*
i love the co-op
I was at Yamato on 5th Ave a week ago and saw a few people pucsing empty shopping carts and wearing reflective vests and then I rmemebered the whole coop thread.
My free time is precious. I’ll gladly pay more for my veggies elsewhere.
If I’d been “suspended” by the Co-op, I’d wear that T-shirt like a badge of honor.
