Who can afford Whole Foods?

I fell for the wild salmon banner the other day. I paid $30+ for a plank. It was good, but not that good compared to other choices costing less than half as much elsewhere.

Yes, you must be freaky to shop there. My Ronald Reagan cap drew scowls and I swear that woman rammed me with her little cart that was carrying a baby who's face was painted black.

Everything in there is priced sky-high and everybody in there acted very stuck up. Even more so than the staff at Williams-Sonoma.

There is nothing better than lobster. I do wonder though how and why anyone ever even thought to eat them. I mean look at them. They look like disgusting, mutated cockroaches.

An animal?

Classification
Lobsters are classified in the phyllum Arthropoda (which also includes shrimp, crabs, barnacles, and insects.) ...

Nervous System
The lobsters nervous system is very primitive. In fact it is most similar to the nervous system of an insect. Neither insects nor lobsters have brains. ...

Well I am surprised that they sell meat to begin with. Whole foods is absolutely dripping with hippy stench. In fact I think "hippy stench" has to be a listed ingredient on their groceries.

Well,.......just consider the name and the mission! This is how they keep costs down, by hiring those who irreversably damaged their brains with recreational drugs. Pay 'em minimum wage, give them the leftover produce that will be thrown out tomorrow as a bonus, and a discount for the organically grown pot grown out south of town towards San Marcos. Spring bonuses include fresh mushrooms from the cow patties on the dairy farms east of town.

How the heck to I know that?

I'll never tell!

Why is it that mainly freaks work at Whole Foods? I quit going there--too many scary people in a confined space--LOL!

Don't EVER come here, hear?

When are they going to stop selling corn and tomatoes?

Tomatoes are alive!

When you cut them, they BLEED!

And corn SCREAMS when you strip off its husk!

One of the problems, said the guy working at the Whole Foods fish counter, is that they can't feed the lobsters in the tank. "When you eat, you then poop, and this creates a dirty tank," he said.

Which is about how they live in nature, right? Sitting in their own sh*t....

Cruel? Cruel? This is an animal that's going to either be chopped up live and grilled.. or dropped live in a boiling pot of water... or cooked alive in a giant sand pit for a lobster bake... and you are worried about its stress level being shipped and sold in a store???


ITS A GIANT FREAKING COCHROACH!
