••• “The city has launched a probe of Whole Foods Markets after investigators nabbed the upscale food purveyor for routinely overcharging customers on groceries during dozens of inspections dating back to at least 2010. The most recent spate of violations came during a sting operation the Department of Consumer Affairs conducted in the fall that specifically checked the accuracy of the weight marked on pre-packaged products. […] The Union Square location was hit with the most counts of mislabeled packages out of any supermarket in the city since 2014—with 15 during two inspections. The Tribeca location came in second with 14 charges.” —Daily News

••• WWD has a behind-the-paywall piece on the new Ten Thousand Things jewelry store at Harrison and Staple. The owners were nice when I first reached out, telling me to come by anytime, but now I can’t even get an email reply. (I assume my request got forwarded to outside PR folks, who often don’t understand the value of a hyperlocal blog.) The offer’s still open for a New Kid on the Block post, folks, but only as long as you’re still new.
