The percentage of wackos is Whole Foods is definitely higher than average. I try to avoid that place unless I need something highly specific that I can’t find elsewhere.
Going to wholefoods in my college town used to be pretty funny. It was a solid mix of old hippies and trustifarians, with a handful of normal people mixed in. I used to go to pick up their pre-made deli food for my grandma, (she n loved the quinoa cakes, and Buddhist delight tofu) and for a while was buying my LSD from one of the produce guys, who was just pretty openly dealing in the store.
They also used to keep cases of 2 buck chuck in the door vestibule, and absolutely didnt care if kids stole it- lien at one point, I remember a teen walk over a staff member, ask which ones were the red wine, thank him, and then just load a couple cases Into his truck and drive off, eithout ever going inside, and while the staff member just continued chatting with his coworker.
Your whole foods experiences are way cooler than mine. When I go it’s usually some combinations of very wealthy women and “all natural” people looking for supposed super foods. I only go because they are the only place around that has a good selection of items for some food allergies/sensitivities that people in my home have.
