Divas Where You Least Expect Them
(Overheard at the Potrero Center Safeway. Fireman #1 is Italian American, #2 Asian American. On the1-5 fireman hotness scale, #1 is 3.5, #2 is a 4.8)Fireman #1: I'll have to be careful bringing these bags into the station.
Fireman #2: Really? Why? Won't they be glad you went shopping?
Fireman #1: Nothing but divas in my firehouse. They won't touch anything that's from Safeway, even if it's organic. It has to be Rainbow or Whole Foods.
Fireman #2: I hate Rainbow.
Fireman #1: Me too. It's dirty and overpriced. But those divas at my firehouse love it.
Fireman #2: I'll take Safeway any day. Good prices and it's clean and convenient.
Fireman #1: They're even worse about soap. No Dial or Dove for these guys. It has to be Lush or Body Shop.
Fireman #2: Oh, I'm with them on that one. I have very sensitive skin.
Fireman #1: Diva.

Wow, sometimes San Francisco sounds like another planet from out here.
Jason - I've been here so long it's hard to realize there are firemen that aren't like that.
God I haven't laughed so hard in days. Thank you for that. The only thing you hear from the Glendale Fire Department is giggling as they shop for pickle and pimento loaf at VONS
Gavin - I bet it's the same once you're in Daly City up here for that matter. SF Firemen want to look their best since they never know when they might be asked to pose for another calendar.
Well, that certainly laid to rest all of my fireman stereotypes.
And thanks for letting us know how each ranked on the fireman hotness scale, as that is really all that girls and homosexuals care to know in any given fireman story.
Salty - If my house were burning down, I'd let either one carry me out, but the Asian dude is the one I'd rather have me wrapped in his (large) arms.
The Village People run the fire station?
WAT - The station's in the Mission not the Village.
I always grocery shop on fireman day. sometimes there are 9 or 10 firetrucks in the parking lot and the store is just crawling with uniforms. very hot!
Bryan - These were in rain gear. I guess divas don't like to get wet.
Wait.... what day is Fireman Day at Safeway, please???!!!!!!!
K~J - This was on a Friday, but I think I just lucked out.
Oh lord, Rainbow Grocery is a paradise for people looking for local, healthy fresh food. the staff knows their products inside/out, it's a co-op and not a corporation, and it's definitely cheaper than Whole Foods.
Comparing Rainbow to Safeway is like comparing a good restaurant to McDonalds.
m00nchild - I have no argument with the merits of quality at Rainbow over Safeway. Safeway is usually a last resort when I'm in a hurry. The firemen were only a perk.
