Interesting, I’ve never bothered to ask and I have never received anything but a paper bag from my local Whole Foods.
Except the 5% thing, none of your other gripes really apply to my local Whole Foods store either. However, I live in a very conservative area and I’m guessing the circus freaks would be bad for business. I think a lot of people around here shop there because they have a better selection for certain foods than other stores, particularly when it comes to cheeses.
Same for me. I’ve never goten anything other than paper bags for the 5 years our WF has been open. They are great for fish and meat. I don’t eat bread but the bakery is good for those who do. I’m allergic to some soaps and shaving creams mass produced and they carry more “natural” ones that don’t affect me. I get fresh ground peanut butter, olive oil and local honey there cheap. Also have a good wine selection.
The Obama stickers on the Prius’s are the customers...
