We put a man on the moon, yet somehow we're still cutting our own carrot sticks? Well not anymore! Fortune reports a new Whole Foods location in New York City's Bryant Park has a "produce butcher" on staff. The produce butcher will "cut, slice, dice, julienne, chop, and grate" your fruits and vegetables on demand, according to a press release. Gothamist reports the service costs $1 per pound for bulk fruits and veggies and $1 for individual items, such as cantaloupe. There's a 5-pound limit on items you can have another human being cut up for you.

According to Business Insider, "luxury ... seems to reign supreme" at the new Whole Foods store, which opened last week and features, among many other things, "artisanal" avocado toast and food from local celebrity chefs. (There was outrage after Whole Foods packaged peeled oranges in plastic.)
