Yuppie scum

Am I still allowed to be annoyed at the gentrification of my supermarket if my shopping bags say Leslieville Cheese Shop, Riverdale Farmer's Market, Le Boulanger Francais [Ottawa] and London Review of Books?


I do buy a lot of the old-lady stuff -- innards and passata and nasty Portuguese snacks -- but I fear that's not enough for street cred nowadays.
