I love WF, but damn people do not know how to move or steer carts efficiently. Def gets cramped in there. The parking lot of the Magazine whole foods is also the single worst parking garage known to this hemisphere

I eat there a good bit. California Club when I go, or I'll go to the grill and get them to make me something. Good food, for the cost and convenience.

Ate there today. Two slices of pepperoni and a can of some tree hugger soda was 6.00. Filling and delicious, although a tad greasy.

When I read your title all I could think of is all the people I see eating the free stuff from one section to the next. I can't stand that. Really, you need to see how the grapes taste?

I think some people just go in there, eat the free stuff and leave.

eat lunch at the WF in metry often. Yoga pants. I think WF is better than Fresh Market but I never have a problem parking at Fresh Market, its quick and easy so I shop there more.

here's a few wannabe hippies too, but I can't handle Whole Foods because there's too many idiots who have never been in that type of grocery store just wandering around with massive buggies and children and whatever other loose baggage people like to carry. I prefer Fresh Market. Somehow , it is never quite so claustrophobic.

that's quite SINPOS of you

Wow! Not too judgmental, are you?

I've never noticed the clientele. I'm too busy gawking, I guess.

I love the place. All the food I've had has been very good.

I eat there on occasion.

It's a great place to eat and scan the MILFs who shop there.

Fresh Market is a horrible grocery store. I have no idea how it stays open.



Eating at WF is great. The one in Houston is older, so it's too small to enjoy. The one in BR is brand new and I like the large set up for tables and such. WF makes a mean Chicken Noodle Soup, and I love whatever sandwich they have with turkey, brie and fig preserves.

Only clientele I've ever noticed were mom's in yoga pants, typical foodies, or people on their lunch break grabbing a salad.

Never noticed any gawky redneck types. I'll keep my eye out next time.....yea, no I won't.

I went in there to day and bought me some Clown Shoes beer around lunch time for later tonight. I hung around and gawked a while but that got boring so I went and ate a BDCB at Five Guys.

You better watch out because you'll get cooties if one of them runs into you.

Oh come on. If you've never had a bunch of people gawking in your way at whole foods, I question whether you've been to true wf I've been to. In fact, drive there right this minute and try to navigate around the store without people lingering in the way.

It's worse than Walmart as far as lingering people. Just luckily the people aren't the same types as Walmart.
