I love Whole Foods.
I love Whole Foods too. I love all their prepared food most ... and the produce. And cheese ... and roasted meats ... :)
I call it Whole Paycheck market, but they do sell top-quality groceries.
I like Whole Foods as well. Don’t use them routinely because it is out of the way for me to get to but when I want something upscale or top quality, that’s the single stop place to go for me.
A couple of years ago, I went there early on a Saturday morning and it was while the store was still pretty slow. My goal was simply to buy a bottle of wine, some cheese and some bread. The mood hit me, what can I say. LOL!
Bought the wine then went to check out the cheeses. My eyes glazed over on what to get so asked the girl behind the counter for advice on what to get with the vino I had chosen and was offered a couple of samples. Next though, she said you really can’t make the best selection without having wine during the cheese sampling so produced a bottle of vino from behind the counter and poured us both a plastic glass full. Vino cheese, vino cheese. Ended up buying probably twice as much cheese as I had in mind but what the heck! Great Marketing!
Whole Paycheck is the ONLY major food chain that stocks wild caught AMERICAN seafood and locally-grown produce. All I see at Wally World is farm raised fish from Malaysia and China and bruised produce.

I have never been in their stores.
I assumed they were all about that overpriced, poorer quality “organic” nonsense.
Perhaps I assumed wrong.....
