Whole Foods’ business model and Amazon’s business model are direct opposites. This was bound to happen......................

We used to drive by their parking lot just to watch the pasty sickly looking libs willingly walking in to waste their money. If the company crashes and burns, oh well.

Whole Foods has been making some pretty piss poor business decisions lately. It’s mind boggling.

They opened a big outlet on Tucson’s NW side. Big mistake. Not many libs there. Empty most of the time.

"Now, Whole Foods Jeff Bezos wants to control that process, and will charge some companies roughly 3 to 5 percent of sales for the service."

Mr. Bezos, with a net worth in the multi-billions, was later heard to say..."Enough money is never enough.".

The term ‘organic’ as they use it in foo foo stores always drives me crazy. All food is organic.

Organic means fertilized with manure and loaded with insect bodies, dead and alive that will take over your cupboards

At the one near me, you also get to see some of them "fill up" their Prius's at the battery recharging station.

Hey! I have an idea!

Let’s take a Business Model that was working seamlessly and replace it with something that’s going to alienate our Vendors, our Customers and our Employees!

That’s the ticket!

Oy! These people with money think they own the friggin’ WORLD, don’t they?

*COUGH*Bezos*COUGH*

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they were actually trying to run it into the ground on purpose.................
