Hopefully that means that Amazon Fresh will be available in areas that have Whole Foods grocery stores.

That is one over-hyped and expensive deal.

Amazon is a leftist’s horizontally integrated tax avoidance scheme.

Amazon is buying Whole Foods for $13.7 billion, the companies said Friday.

That sounds like about one shopping trip to Whole (wallet) Foods.

i.e., Wegmans is better, cheaper, and not run by a bunch of leftists.

He’s just being a smart businessman. He’s buying Whole Foods ‘cause he already has a paper to wrap the fish.

“Reportedly, Whole Foods will retain its name. “

Imagine if Microsoft was buying WF.

1 renamed, MS Foods 1.0
2 aisles are all rearranged so you can no longer find your groceries
3 viruses included in groceries
4 customer service desk staffed by heavily accented Indians, whose answer is 80%, “it is time to reinstall the shopping cart system. You haven’t reinstalled in months! This will fix everything. Yes, I am certain!”

I wonder if Whole Foods will drop their prices by about 50% to make them competitive?

Sad as far as I am concerned since Amazon support abortion.

Got behind an old hippie at the local Whole Foods a few months ago. He was buying some organic fresh veggies, enough to half fill one of those hand carry baskets. In a normal grocery store, they would have cost maybe 10 bucks. His bill was over $35.
