Here’s hoping they selling Whole Foods next. They’ve certainly ruined it.

I used to like Whole Foods :(

I don't shop at Sprout's anymore either since I found out they donate to the GOP...

Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to donate to politicians. They can’t vote. If the ceo wants to support a candidate, make them take the money out of their own pocket.

Corporations have the same human rights as people. Im surprised they cant vote to be honest. But the reality is they dont need to vote since they have the political class captured.

You'll have to take that up with John Roberts regarding Citizen's United...

How did they ruin it? I don't really shop there because I don't want to spend eight dollars on asparagus water.

A lot of quality merch is no longer carried. Their deli and premade fridges are poorer quality now. I used to stop by there to pick up a healthy lunch from time to time. Not anymore.

Employees have complained online about working conditions being more like an Amazon warehouse now than a grocery store.

yea the instore shoppers, they tried to use the same metrics that amazon shoppers used before '22 transition. and also they have skeleton crew the prepared foods headcount, so everyones all stressed. Also for how bad amazon is, getting pto is harder in wf, because of changes they made in '23. also they try to stretch out the people that dint leave immediately after getting hired, to do more work that would been done by having more hires.
