One wonders how many times she/it was 20 minutes late.
Is she related to this genius?

“Oh, you actually think being 20 minutes late matters?”
I agree—that is absolutely the best line out of the piece. This guy is totally unemployable.
I dislike shopping there and only go there occasionally when there is something I can’t find anywhere else. The customers tend to be rude and self absorbed and deadly with their carts. We have something here called Fresh Market with similar stuff altho more gourmet things and then Publix has a Greenwise Market with even more similar stuff but a more cordial customer base (and they often carry real stuff in addition so that I can get things Whole Foods doesn’t carry). In Texas they have a place I used to go to when I would visit in Dallas called Central Market, but they don’t have them here.
OK, worked at Whole Foods for 5 plus years. Did she get promoted after all that time? Did she make a living? Apparently so to work there for that length of time. Now that she’s quit, good luck in finding another job. I’ve heard McDonalds is hiring.
Waaaaaanh! Gee, really, it’s just a grocery store? And your first clue was ... the groceries? The check-out lane? The price tags?
Capitalism rears its ugly head; another delusion libbie bites the dust.
The employees at Whole Foods and Green Life are bitter leftists who feel that they deserve money, respect, and success in life with their English/Philosophy/Women’s Studies/Sustainability Studies/etc degrees. The letter writer says that management sides with the customer over the employee but 1.) I have never seen that happen and 2.) If it did happen, then the employee did something so over the top that management could not ignore it. They hold the customers in contempt and generally believe they are of much less intelligence than their worthless graduate degree selves.
I do not shop regularly at these stores but have been to them with my sister on occasion. The employees really do hold their customers in contempt.
Reminds me of the 1970’s punk band “Dead Kennedy’s”

Poor girl, I can’t imagine how uncomfortable those handcuffs and chain’s are.
I’m surprised slavery didn’t come up.
This reads like a stupid valley girl wrote this...
I find Whole Foods to be a Science Fiction Alternative Universe experience (except for the wine section). Both the workers and the shoppers.
That's gonna really cramp her style when all those people she mentioned by name sue her for character defamation. The only thing that would make this any funnier is if she'd follow up with a life-long blog detailing every job interview she will fail for the rest of her life.
Work flows to the competent. In some categories, some workers can be 10x more productive than others (software).
Not doubting you, but my experience at the WF in my area is the opposite.
WF is a customer of ours...they are the customer you want to fire. They’re unorganized, wasteful and STILL drive high margins and business because well-meaning idiots pay HUGE prices for the “culture.”
I love a fun Opus.
Oh, when is oh enough already.
I laugh at the mostly young, politically zombie-like Liberals that frequent in droves two of the Whole Foods stores I know of in Manhattan;
believing as they do that shopping in Whole Foods is part of their own social-political agenda,
paying outrageous prices on mom & dads dime (most of them are students),
getting no better quality than what can be found in any number of places around town,
and patronizing Whole Foods in such numbers that I have quit shopping there because the size of the crowds is too often just totally insane.
Maybe as the resignation from the former “believer” gets circulated, those numbers will decline.
Am I “against” Whole Foods?
Not at all.
If there is one thing good which I do find some agreement on, with the person who resigned - though not in a way she appreciates I’m sure, it’s that this former convert to the political-religion of “Whole Foods” discovered that Whole Foods, the grocery store company, is just a business after all. That’s a good thing.
Now excuse me, I live in the east, and right now I need to go beat the slaves.
It's an unlikely business model but it appears to work on a lot of upper middle-class women and birkenstock-wearing men.
