I have one of those fat guy party shirts, and therefore, I think that qualifies me to make a comment here... splotchy asses make mingled gasses...

Haha, I laughed so hard reading this! Grocery stores in Europe make me feel like that, but I'm not a small person myself!

Sidesplitting!!!! But seriously - do you recall sideswiping the wildebeest in aislette .07? that was me dag nab it. Broke two of my plover sized chicken eggs in the mishap.

2009-06-26T07:12:21.050-07:00

I am so jealous that you're equidistant from three Whole Foods. Our nearest one -- Birmingham, Alabama -- is 2 1/2 hours away. Not that I've ever driven that far just to shop at Whole Foods. That would be wrong. It's a huge warehouse-like one, too, with plenty of room for more than one person per aisle. However, the one in Franklin, Tennessee, seems like a Fisher-Price playhouse in comparison.

Love this post. Thinking about writing one on Costco from the opposite perspective. Your description of Trader Joe's is spot on. I have little patience for either store. You did not comment on the offensively expensive prices. By the time you have filled up your cart for a family of four you could have paid most people's mortgages.

I learned many years ago that there is only one answer to the question, "Does this make me look fat?" No! Always no!! You look great in that cereal isle.

i always wondered if i was the only one who noticed this!!! Thanks for reaffirming my non-craziness. or should i flip that and say "welcome to crazy land!" :)

Hello Girlfriend! You forgot to right about the whole price thing... The smaller the bag - the heftier the price - it's weird!

2009-06-23T04:12:28.393-07:00

LOL! I totally relate! I just knocked down a display at our Whole Foods trying to turn the corner to go up the next aisle! The idiot clerk yelled at me! I tried to explain that since there were no signs posted about the dangerous cart conditions, that he should just zip it and get to cleaning up! lol! I left my cart (filled) and went down the street to Trader Joe's.

2009-06-22T15:43:23.549-07:00

Whenever I find myself in a Whole Foods, I feel sorta out of place...like I really don't belong there, and everybody knows it. I'm looking for the Twinkies and the Coors and can feel everyone giving me the stinkeye.

And don't get me started on those huge tubs of seeds, chocolate, and assorted snacks. The last time I was there a saw a kid stick his melon of a head into one of those and sneeze.

I love Whole Foods and the one near by in La Jolla is HUGE. Maybe it's psychological warfare they are using.

2009-06-21T13:51:45.989-07:00

I am thinking the marketer who thought up the small aisle ploy should be fired. If ya feel Amazonian when you are there, why would a person go?

I wanna feel petite when I shop - then I'd shop for more!

2009-06-21T13:51:44.197-07:00

I used to work in a health food store that resembled your photos. The aisles were skinny but they were tall, too. The air got thin at the top of the ladder I had to climb to restock while customers wended their way around me, rattling it and giving me an adrenaline spike to counteract my light-headedness.

The best part of the day was carrying my reeking KFC to the back on lunch break, inviting the stares of all the starving vegan shoppers.

I like to order organic groceries online so a big truck delivers them, wiping out any good I might have done the planet. That's just how I roll.

2009-06-21T10:02:24.653-07:00

I live in a northern suburb of the city that has the highest per capita homicide rate in the nation, and NO Whole Foods. There is, however, an "old money" southern suburb that has a homegrown version of WF called Dorothy Lane Market. It has wonderful deli and baked goods and all kinds of cool stuff that Kroger's doesn't carry. It's fun to go in there to shop, unless they realize I'm from Riverside and the store dick starts to follow me around.

2009-06-19T16:48:33.182-07:00

It is quite likely that the whole issue of scale is really about defrauding customers: this box of pasta is organic and only costs fifty cents more than my normal brand? A bargain! Until you figure out that it's actually 1/3 the size of your normal brand, which means it costs about four times as much. Small or large, I just don't find Whole Paycheck that appealing because I resent their prices. But I totally get that "maybe it's not so bad; I should give it another shot" thing. I am a sucker for that myself.

2009-06-19T16:38:32.592-07:00

HAHA Whole foods is an institution, until you move to the south. Then it's all smattered battered and fried! Popping in from SITS!

2009-06-19T10:25:57.655-07:00

The only Whole Foods I've been in was huge compared to the health food store I worked in. But, as a general rule, health food stores are very small compared to mainstream grocery stores. It can be a nice change of pace provided there's room to move around and a friendly staff.

2009-06-18T18:28:12.785-07:00

Lucky for me there isn't a Whole Foods within a reasonable distance of me. I know if there were, I would no doubt be suckered into going there on a regular basis.
