Whole foods has great produce (they purchase locally when possible), great beef and chicken, bakery goods, large selection of beer, prepared foods, etc. But, we call them "Whole Paycheck". Sometimes they have very good sales, but the large variety and freshness, plus living wages paid across the food chain - all cost.

Now that my cash flow is back to a much better level, I'll make sure to visit the original store here in Austin. Since I have so many food allergies, WF is the logical choice.

I didn’t know the original WF was in Austin. They just opened a beautiful store in Jacksonville, Florida. The materials are sustainable this and sustainable that, but the architects did a great job with it and it’s really a very nice space with very attractive features. And of course the food is great.

I go up to JAX every so often to shop there and eat some of the tasty treats from the salad/hot foods bar. And they have what is probably the best bakery in Jacksonville.

Many of the people who work there are probably Obama voters, but actually, some of them strike me as being more on the libertarian side and a little unpredictable.
