I am not shopping at Whole Foods any more ?

I hate Whole Foods. Built around the idea that paying more for craft items means they are better.

Sometimes the food is better - and that's what you have to distinguish between. For me, I shop there because it's the closest, and despite being their target demographic (old, has money, gay - but I'm also a Republican), it's a conscious choice. They also have a lot of good prepared meals and I can get proper tacos (3 for $8) vs Taco Bell (3 for $8) so why not go to Whole Foods?

Trader Joes sells processed garbage. Also, there are no microgreens there. Picked up a case at my Whole Food's today.

I'm embarrassed for you that you actually typed out lack of microgreens as a complaint. Microgreens are a nice compliment to your micropenis.

I actually laughed.

Me too, as I munch on my microgreens

You make it sound like you had never left your house. You make it sound like you're stupid.

I bought a 16 oz box of granola cereal for $2.99 at Trader Joe's the other day. Please try to make up lies that are realistic.

Yeah, but 12 oz of your 16 oz granola box is full of GMO-laden, processed crap.

Whole Foods is one of my favorite stores. It's always clean, employees are happy, Amazon is making it better, butcher shop is great, produce is usually good, bulk foods are convenient. Some things are a ripoff so you do have to be aware of how much is a normal price. Costco is also great, Trader Joe's. Walmart and Meijer are far away but they have great prices and circus freak people. Kroger has decent prices but low quality and everyone with food stamps goes there.

I'm Ron Burgundy?

Because it's for upper-middle class white liberals who want to go green and have organic foods.

If you live in an ethnically diverse city, then go to Asian and Hispanic supermarkets. They are perfectly fine and have very healthy foods. There's not much point of spending all that extra money at posh supermarkets.

I live in the Philly area. The few Whole Foods stores around here overpriced and not that great. My running club calls them "Whole Paycheck".

Instead, go to Wegmans. Our local Wegmans is so much better than 'whole paycheck,' with higher quality food and better prices.

Used to do Whole Foods.

Then Trader Joes.

Now there's a WalMart Market I go to, it's got probably 80 percent of the stuff I was getting at WF, and the remaining 20 percent is stuff I would have loved to get at WF or TJ, but they didn't have it. And it's MUCH cheaper doing it this way. Yeah, it's Walmart, but what are you going to do?

As for tacos, I live in California. I don't need a grocery store to sell me tacos, although I can name a few dozen Mexican grocers with killer tacos.

After a few trips of poor service, people will stop going and Whole idiots can cut employee hours even more.

A better way would have been to raise the price a few pennies on all their items and nobody would have noticed or cared.

Keep things simple, son.

I live in Montana and all I do is drive:

I saw a raccoon today by the lock and store but we aren't allowed to shoot animals in the town limits. Probably why we are overrun by deer.

We got no towns, and no damned limits either.

You should check if bow and arrow hunting are allowed in your city. They are in mine.

Occassional whole foods shopper here. Mine is across the street from a kroger. Some things are priced a couple $ more than across the street at the Kroger.

Since Amazon took over, I haven't noticed much change at whole foods. People with food stamps don't shop at whole foods, but I'm pretty sure they take them. Whole foods is always clean. Kroger is usually clean enough.
