Don’t you mean ‘Whole Paychecks’?
That would imply that I’ve ever crossed the threshold into one in the past. That would be NO.
I’m not a fan of the trendy and superficial lifestyle.
Just drop three spears of asparagus in a jar of water and slap on a $6 price tag.
“He hates these cans!”
I wandered into one to see what the fuss was all about many years ago. I was underwhelmed, and my wallet puckered up.
There’s some good stuff there. And weird fake hippies. But that’s good, they go often enough to keep the store profitable so a couple times a year when I need my cashew butter fix it still exists.
Whole Paycheck, indeed. However, I quite like Whole Foods. They always donate to our orchestra/ non-profit fundraiser - great, beautiful platters, so graciously. Their breads are extraordinarily beautiful and baked in-house. I don’t shop there regularly because it’s too expensive, but here’s to Whole Foods. It’s capitalism in action.
I really want a gluten free, fair trade, (and I forget the last condition) hair brush!
Again? That implies I did at least once.
I like Whole Foods but don’t actually buy much there. The quality and selection are Top Notch but the pricing is just way, way, way higher than you would pay for similar quality at places like Sprouts or even the pricey Mothers in Southern California.
So I’m sticking to Sprouts and the wifey is sticking to Mothers.
But Whole Foods has just opened a great store in Brea, CA and are doing Land Office business. Hard to find parking at mid-day but certainly worth a visit.
They have good bread, for which you pay a lot of bread.
Quite simple. Totaly off the wall Libs go there so I don’t.
Me either. We do have a Lassen’s here that has groceries too and I go in there once in awhile if I want something out of the ordinary. They’re guaranteed to have it. It’s full of hippies so I am in and out lol
One of my students gave me a $15.00 gift card to WF.
I was able to purchase a one pound tob of crumbled feta cheese.
Having grown up in a Greek Neighborhood, I can remember walking into a corner market and buying incredible olives, pickles, Marinated Vegetables, and various cheeses from white 5 gallon buckets lined up at the counter.
$15.00 would have fed me for a week! :-)
In Hollywood when you go to Whole Foods you get pestered in the parking lot by wackos with petitions to kill babies and further the goals of perverts and such. I told one of them that I wasn’t a California resident and therefore it was against the law for me to sign it. Of course she insisted that I do. And then once in Salt Lake I was there and the guy at the checkstand got very angry at ne because I wouldn’t give any $ to whatever the latest mooching jar was at the register. WF is where you go to find arrogant wackos and tease them.
I go there occasionally because it’s the only place for a couple of items I use. When I do I wear my “Hillary for Prison 2016” t-shirt. I love to see their brains explode.
This is the second post in a few days with a bash on Whole Foods, which last time I checked is a private company that does not force its customers to shop there.
Yeah there a hippy kind of place, and hippies talk hippy talk. A lot of the comments on the website are from customers, and being in retail I know that on a given day customers will say anything.
That being said, we have a Kroger and a Whole Foods across the street from each other. I go to both when I want to. Each has advantages.
I’ve been in a Whole Foods twice..the more recent visit being about 15 years ago.After having spotted chicken for $11 a pound I knew I’d never be back.
I’m a fan of choice.
Go if you value what is there.
If not, buy cheap crap at a major grocery chain.
Everyone happy.
$8 quinoa? Seriously?
I worked with a several people from South America.
They think the American infatuation with quinoa is a bit humorous.
Lot of South Americans refer to quinoa as cattle food.
