I said that from the first announcement.
I've only shopped at Whole Foods a handful of times. But I know a few people who work there (mostly children of friends) and it seems to be a company that tries to make it a place where employees want to come to work. Employees get discounts when they shop there from the beginning (the discount increases after you've worked there a while).
Working in an Amazon warehouse is a brutal job. Two 15-min breaks a day is standard at many places, but the break room isn't a half mile away at most work places. I knew one person who worked at Amazon headquarters and another who currently is and it's brutal there too. Trying to destroy your peers is the name of the game and you pretty much have to put in 18-hr days.
The difference is WF treats employees like people and Amazon treats employees like numbers. Two very different business models.
Most companies treat people like numbers. The Amazon break policy is pretty common in manufacturing.
Your post reminded me of a time I watched a young kid buy a $45 dollar bottle of truffle oil with an EBT card at whole foods.
