I just fucking went to Whole Foods, sat at the track sushi bar and spent $12 on 3 small fucking plates of sushi. Still hungry, got $5+ worth of mussel salad on the way out. Got back to the office, took one bite and threw it away.
$17+ for a workday lunch and I’m still hungry.
Fuck Whole Foods. Fuck you. Fucker.

man THAT SUCKS. You should save your receipt, tell them it was bad and get your dinero back. Seriously.

I was thinking about that - I tried to find my receipt this morning, I thought I stashed it in my back pocket, but I think the wife threw it in the laundry. I paid with my credit card, but I dunno if I want to deal with that hassle. I was going to go with the octopus salad too, but at the last minute went with the mussels as I thought the pulpo might be too tough and “gamey.”

Their salad bar is good, and while the hot foods look good, it’s just supermarket food, and really, how good can that be? But bad mussels? You should just go in and say, I was there yesterday, I got the mussel salad from (this area) and it was bad. I want my money back. Or a bottle of expensive beer.

They will totally hook you up if you go in and even look sort of peeved. At least that’s my experience…maybe I’m just THAT charismatic.

can you show us the receipt? you should’ve taken photos. i always envy the people that shop at whole foods, sort of. there’s a whole foods in brentwood, which is inhabited by the affluent. they have access to great ingredients. but when i think about how much i save shopping at a chinese market, i’m the one that has more money to buy lattes, fancy dog clothing and whatever it is that rich people throw their money away at.

Whole Foods sucks. They just moved into Portland Maine and ate the local organic grocer for lunch, they specialize in fake-ass store brand organic crap while the prices for anything with somebody else’s label are outrageous (and they get the profits on both sides), and just try to find something that actually has the label of a local organic producer on it, especially in the meat department.

Wholefoods is planting their new store miles from ours small co-op. It’s to bad John Mackey has turned into a money junkie. We have been e-mailing other co-op’s that they have deliberately destroyed by building “next door” to kill the compition, when really you are knocking down a community.

Fuck Whole Foods!!! They took over the Wild Oats store in Evanston. Now they have two within blocks of each other. All the REAL whole foods stuff at good prices is disappearing - so that Whole Foods gets all the profit. They eliminate good products that can compete against their busted ass products. They say that the competing products “Don’t meet their standards”. Well, their standards are for fake products that have dangerous stuff in them like soy and will kill you slowly while they make a profit on your concerns for health.
