Glad it wasn’t just me that experienced the anger and ignorance of some Whole Foods shoppers.
Wow, if it’s anger Nils wants to observe, all he has to do is look in the mirror. What a pathetic loser.
Don’t shop there. You’re supporting psycho libs and all their neuroses. I see enough of these uppity types in other grocery stores. Why go to the hive?
The most BORING article I have ever read on FR.
.
“Over the years I have tried everything to remain civil to these people, but nothing has worked, so I’ve stopped trying.”
It appears the writer has an addiction to Whole Foods.

Never been in one of those stores. Good thing, I would likely get in trouble.
That article is pretty much textbook, the nail meeting the head of the hammer.
Liberals: A group of people that have been brainwashed into thinking one way because they can’t really think for themselves; they don’t really believe in any of it and live the most hypocritical lives; they are the ultimate “keeping up with the Jones’”; they hate the fact that they aren’t honest with themselves; they want to be superior to everyone in every way, but deep down know they are not and never will.
I’m sure I missed a few things, but all of that, and then some manifests in their hatred for everything that isn’t like them. If you don’t live in their neighborhood, or one like it, you’re a heathen, savage, right wing, redneck who has no place in the world to do nothing but dig ditches. You are the uncouth masses that don’t deserve to share the same space as them.
That’s a great article. I’ve never been to Whole Foods - the people I know who have gone have said ‘never again’ because of the prices. But I will have to go now, just to people watch ;-)
Now, I cannot say the same about a local Seattle 'Whole Foods-clone' called PCC Markets. I shopped there once. My wife was with me, as were my 3 (at the time) children. Two were in a stroller, and the oldest, who was about 4 or 5 at the time, was walking. They weren't screaming, or running about the store making mischief, but stayed close and relatively quiet.
The looks we were getting from the patrons AND the staff made me feel as though they thought one of our kids had dropped trou and shat on the floor. Apparently, having kids in there was verboten...or maybe having as many kids as we had was a sign that I was NOT one of those 'reduce-the-population-to-save-the-planet' people.
I have not shopped there again, nor will I ever let them have a cent of my hard-earned pay.
This Nils Parker person is really just a pen name for Jason Blair, right?
From short selling the weight of the foods to the bogus ORGANIC labels on their products, that place reminds me of the scams that the Pharisees did to the people back in Jesus's days.
It's so incredible how just the mere presence of label saying ORGANIC will drive up the price of an item by 500% or more!
never set foot in a whole foods, and god willing, never will.
It is anything but. It is basically Bristol Farm's answer to Whole Food. I didn't encounter any angry people. What I encountered were people who looked scarily like those people in the 50-something drug company commercials. You know, the people pushing their 50s who through diet, exercise, and plastic surgery look like they're in their late 40s.
The place had a Stepford Wives vibe to it: a humongous salad bar with the most artisinal produce you could imagine.
Interestingly though, the place had a really small selection of bread. It seems that they are glute-o-phobes.
And of course everything was priced to appeal to those who desperately want to pay more for everything since it gives them that sense of superiority you can only get from mindless consumerism.
I just get a kick how everything in the store has to have some sort of politically correct twist, be it organic, fair trade, free range, or whatever...

YOU HAVE BEEN WANRED!
I’m not reading this article.
Whole Foods has some customers that fit stereotypes. So does effing Walmart. I’m ok with the country being filled with choices on where to shop, and how to live.
I believe health is essential to life, and eating is essential to health. We do become what we eat. Less pesticides is better for our brains. Our bodies should be made from the cleanest animal products we can find. Whole Foods has the best produce and meats and fish of anywhere else around here. I do shop there for those items, or others that I can’t find elsewhere.
I’m getting tired of blanket put downs of others, from the left or the right. It’s not what Gd wants for this country.
I can buy just about everything I want...on-line.
I tend to agree
The hippie kids who work there are usually pretty friendly even if I’m in cammo....yes I do it on purpose
The urban one in Nashville is awful with snotty unfriendly progressives
The suburban one in Cool Springs Franklin is not too bad....really hot well heeled soccer moms in of course their uniform
Panty hose tight yoga pants demonstrating their vulvalar dispositions and Reeboks and tank top in summer and fleece in winter with hair tied back
Ball cap optional , Louis bag de rigeur
It’s still weird but tolerable
I go for salmon spread, cheeses, unhomogenized milk, soaps..my weakness, and lavender and cedar oil for the tub
That’s about it..
Wifey is sorta hippie so she buys the organic overpriced stuff but that’s ok...she’s in great shape
We’ve got Turnip Truck and other more intense prog markets which are much worse for the freak parade
You can order for pickup and have a college student do the pickup and then deliver your groceries directly to your home.
