Why isn't anybody complaining that we made that egotistical idiot Rip Essylstyn rich by buying his shitty book and products. Should have spent that money on technology or team members . Oh yeah ....screw Sam Park and that Minardi dude!

Did everyone buy their tickets yet?

First, let me say that I left on my own accord, and not through a severance package. I wasted a decade with that place. So glad to be gone! I couldn't stand what leadership became (what I had become!) after the past 2 years or so. These comments are... — read more 

Since I am new to Whole Foods, I have been trying to understand the thinking that runs this place. I have heard a couple of catch phrases, "assume positive intent" and "incremental progress" Both ideas seem to lead to reactive management. Anyway... — read more 

So I have a question concerning the timing of Whole Foods opening up new stores in random cities. I used to work for the company in the FL region(multiple stores) and it always used to fascinate me when we opened up new stores company wide. Who picks... — read more
