As you know, I work in a grocery store, and I am constantly in close proximity to our most beloved vegetable, as well as the vile disgusting garbage cabbages.

Normally, I am able to laugh at how slowly we sell cabbages. I only need to throw about one case of cabbages every few days, and that's able to keep our entire display full, while Broccoli on the other hand, I can eliminate 8 cases of the stuff on a slow day.

But lately, while Broccoli sales haven't slowed down at all, cabbage sales seem to have increased. I had to unload two whole cases in two days. That is not normal.

And yet we haven't seen any increases in Brussels sprouts, Cauliflower, Kale, Kohlrabi, or Broccoli. Just cabbage.

Are people really becoming more accustomed to the evil bud, or is this just some kind of temporary aberration?

Please! I need someone to tell me that I don't need to worry about this!

What is happening with the Peppers?
I find they are the best indicator for future trends. If they are still stable, then this is likely just an aberration that will pass.

Jalapeno and serrano sales have been down a little bit, but only because we started selling ghost peppers and carolina reapers. Bell peppers have remained stable.

I think you're going to be alright. Things should return to normal by the end of the week.
But, if nothing changes by the weekend, it's time to panic.

I think your store management has simply noticed the cabbage not moving, and has begun to market them as "Artisan Giant Brussels Sprouts" to the hipster population. This is nothing to worry about, as soon as sales reach their peak the hipsters will move away again since AGBS have become "too mainstream".

The lure of the cabbage is taking hold in you. You can't fight it ... soon your rooms will be filled with their delightful scent.
