That was HILARIOUS! Thanks for posting!
I consider their so called food pure crap!
If it isn’t raised with chemical fertalizers after doing a soil analysis for the particular crop and kept pest free with pestides I consider it not fit for human consumption!!
Which town? I recently went back to my home town of acton ma. I needed something from the grocery store, so I stopped in with my friend. It’s name changed from triple A to donelan’s... But it should be the same, I said to myself. As my friend and I were walking in, i remember saying to her that acton, unlike concord, was full of grounded people. Self made people... Not pretentious.
Yea... That lasted about 10 feet into the store when I spotted the woman playing the full size harp.
Even idlewylde farms has gone foo-foo (I use to work there in the fields)
Eastern MA is lost to looney ville
A few years back an MIT student wrote a piece in a school periodical about “Whole Foods”.In this fairly lengthy and very well written piece she took the basic position that shopping there,for most,isn’t as much about “health” as it is about a conspicuous display of affluence.From what I’ve seen I agree with here 1000%.
Stupid essay.
Author is either jealous or a closet Leftist.
Whole Foods is a look into what people can buy for food when they EARN GOOD MONEY. You do well, you can swing thru a WF and come out with aged bison, rabbit, handpicked best quality veggies of interesting varieties, fine cheeses, and other premium foods. If this guy never heard of 90% of what’s in there that’s because he didn’t work hard/smart enough for it.
WF may be favored by Leftists, but it is made possible only by sheer conservative capitalism.
Whiny twit.
Great post, Sam.
There’s no link - did you write that?
Very brave.
The thing that most annoys me about WF or TJ is that people study potential purchases as if they were Liv Ullmann doing a screen test for Persona. They push their carts as if they were doing a 1950s Vogue photo shoot. It's freaking food already. I wish Sam Kinison were still here to do a routine about trendy grocery store morons. If you ever want to see what the zombie apocalypse is going to look like and you're in Philadelphia, there's a health food store near 4th and Bainbridge called Essene. Why would zombies need vitamins. I'm sure there's one at least in every city.
Around here we call it “Whole Paycheck Foods”, but anyway the CEO is right on healthcare:

I ventured into Whole Paycheck one time only. I wanted to try ramps (wild leeks) and they were the only store that had them, but my experience parallels yours.
Way over priced for food that rots on the checkout belt.
The "t" at the end is a cross. Of course the Islamic supremacist crescent is "first".
If they spelled it TOLERANCE, the "T" could be first and the "C" near the end. I'd suggest adding an Enron "E" at the very end because (A)there were plenty of employees and investors who lost their shirts because of the corruption of some so we cannot impune all who worked them (show them SOME tolerance) and (B)who are we to condemn sinners (especially when Ken Lay's hometown is home to one of the largest gay pride parades with public sex rampant on the parade route).
But I digress.
Such techniques can also be applied to permanently get out of drawing laundry duty...
You are hilarious!
I swore off Whole Foods when the gender challenged checker made some wise cracks about my desire plastic bags.
Little plick was a complete tool so I bagged my own groceries and told his remark cost the company a customer forever.
Freakin’, tree huggin’, nature nazi. Buh Bye.
Too bad you don’t have a ping list. These stories about Whole Fools and Crapplebee’s were funny and just a what guy thinks sometimes.
Post on.
