I've shopped at Whole Foods a grand total of twice. Both times, it was during a time where my wife and I were doing our best to eat healthy. Once was in Seattle, and the second time was in Bellevue (a city right next to Seattle that's three times as pretentious as Seattle is, if that's even possible). Although we didn't run into a 'Birdman', as the author had, I felt an air of general disdain coming from everyone there EXCEPT the staff. They were as friendly and helpful as can be.

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.

I get out to Seattle area about once per year and there is plenty of leftists on display... almost everywhere. I read years ago that many of them escaped California and ended up ruining Seattle.

Might have to visit these stores to continue my “research”, compare to similar stores on the east coast. Staff is friendly here too but lots of non-human hair color, plus body piercings / tatoo. BTW when I hear “Bellevue”, I hear “Kojak’s” voice about sending someone to Bellevue ... a psychiatric hospital in NYC. That’s my impression (right or wrong) of Bellevue, WA.

1) I congratulate you for properly forming the past tense of a certain four-letter verb.

2) Many sodomites view us "breeders" (their term, not mine) with unveiled contempt. Apparently, using our reproductive systems properly is gauche ...

“Apparently, having kids in there was verboten...”

Actually that’s good news. If `progressives’ (actually, regressive Stalinists) not only hate children but disdain those who heed God’s commandment to be fruitful & multiply, then all the better for the good people (yeah, I said it). Let them die out like the Shakers.

Anyway, I go to Whole Foods for Feta & other cheeses. After retiring from the Army I bought my first Vietnam Vet cap. Wore it into WF hoping to be accosted by some graying ponytail of either sex screaming “babykiller!!”. No such luck; all I got was “Thank you for your service, your 10% discount is in the total”. Excellent staff, as noted.
