Went to Whole Foods Today...

Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Jul 25 22:42:11 2012

So, went to Liberal Democratic Whole Foods today, as Trader Joes is right across the street, and that's where I like to shop, but figured I would pick up a few things at Whole Foods too.
Anyway, in the parking lot was a whole area next to the handicapped spots of "Parking for fuel efficient cars"..... Can they even enforce something like that? I felt like parking in the spot just for the principle of the thing, and someone else did too, as there was a large pick up truck in one of the spots.

In any event, I didn't park there, and bought my stuff, and the check out girl actually asked me if I wanted a bag for my stuff. I guess I wasn't being politically correct by not taking one of those filthy reusable bags with me....

Whole Paycheck is owned by a republican who caters to hipsters. I guess that's his way of making you feel good. :)

"Fuel Efficient" is a relative term. I think that my 2011 Santa Fe is fuel efficient.

I went to Whole Foods for the very first time on Tuesday. It was pricey and I don't think that I can afford to shop there very often.

As for the parking, they need to add a minimum MPG because I don't even know what that means.

My Stop and Shop has a reserved spot for expectant moms and my post office has one for older people. My Whole Paycheck Foods bags your groceries without asking unless they see your own bag or you tell them. I never shop at Trader Joe's. That's like going to Olive Garden :)

Yeah, while my cart was full at Trader Joes, I only walked out with about 4 things at Whole Foods (some frozen Mexican meals). It's terribly pricey, even for stuff you can get elsewhere.
As for the parking, I agree. I don't think it's enforceable, and it's just a political statement by them professing us "clods" that don't have "fuel efficient vehicles". Like I said, someone with a huge pick up was in one of the spots, and I was tempted myself to park there too just for the principal of the thing.

My Stop and Shop also has a spot for expectant moms, and I have no problem with that. That's way different than "fuel efficient vehicles only" whatever that means.
My post office has spots for "older people" too, it's called the Handicapped spots".
As for Trader Joes, it blows Whole Paycheck away in every aspect. it's not my normal "supermarket", but I do like going there every couple months to pick up some frozen pre-prepared meals which are reasonable, and great for times I am on the go and don't have time to cook.

No, the older folks spot is in addition to the HC spot. You need a sticker to park at HC and not so in the additional elderly spot. It's just a courtesy spot that we all observe.

As I said, I don't give a shit where they are headquarted. Why would that matter?
And the place is busy, and we don't have "hipsters", so obviously they aren't just catering to your little illusion you have....

I hate Whole Foods. Trader Joes is way better, although they aren't really comparable. Whole Foods is a full grocery store while Trader Joes really is not.

Okay I understand. That makes sense, and would be something to observe, just like the pregnant mom spots at Stop N Shop.

No way I am "observing as a courtesy", some assinine "Reserved for fuel efficient vehicles" (whatever that may mean) sign however.

If I ever get the dough to put a big block V8 in my Caprice, I'm taking that spot. I know that it's offensive enough to those uppity types with my existing small block V8, but I'd like to double the pleasure . . .

Yup, exactly, the uppity snobs.

"Fuel efficient" is pretty meaningless on its own. That pickup truck is far more fuel efficient if the job is hauling a large and heavy load. For a few sacks of groceries, maybe not.

If the bed of the pickup were fully loaded, and the driver was stopping in to do some shopping in the middle of their other work, then that pickup would be far more deserving of a "reserved for fuel efficient vehicles" than some Prius owner who should have just ridden their bicycle to the store.
