so if it's 9:30pm and you need some organic, bulk, products where else are you really gonna go? - Ceilidh , posted 03/05/06 |

"Whole Foods" didn't earn the nickname "Whole Paycheck" for nothing. If you're willing to part with the fairly upscale atmosphere of Whole Foods, then head down the street to The Berkeley Bowl for stuff that's basically the same, but cheaper. You'll get the same surly service and crowds you've come to know and love at Whole Foods, yet be able to save enough on your grocery bill to afford something nice that you wouldn't normally get. - Raj , posted 04/23/05 |

While in principle I like much of what Whole Foods is about, in practice shopping there, partciularly the Berkeley location, can be a nightmare. The aisles are on the cramped side, the staff and shoppers alike are constantly running into you without so much as a "sorry" or "pardon me", or alternately they stand in the way inconsiderate and oblivious to everyone else around them (yeah man... let's smoke a bowl and go buy some wheat germ... great idea), and I have recieved some of the most non-verbally unpleasant service ever from many of the checkers. Weird, angry vibes and scowls aplenty. If you're lucky they *might* acknowledge you with a grunt. Or a "Fuck you, corporate scum!" if they think you're cute. Sheesh, drop your preconceptions that anyone who smells nice and wears a sportcoat is working for The Man, already. If I wanted to bone Mother Earth up the ass I'd be shopping at Safeway instead, now wouldn't I? I do like their olives. But I should probably just go to AG Ferrari or someplace instead. - Unsubscribed , posted 02/05/05 |
