Although he is only willing to trade his wares for paper money or the chance to touch a small piece of plastic, I still think his products are unique enough to warrant a visit.
I personally love trading for his healthy nacho cheese dip, his red tortillas, his vegetarian chili. and his cheap cans of peeled tomatoes. The customers are generally healthier/wealthier looking than your average John Safeway, so maybe the food actually works.
I don't know for sure, but I do know that those frozen vegetable enchiladas and chocolate opera cakes are darn good eatin'. And the best thing is if you try something and don't like it, you can bring the half-eaten remains back for a full refund... so go crazy, try something new and potentially unpleasant to eat, you might just discover another item worth trading for.
