Broccoli is so Safeway. How about kale? Organic of course.

It is and one of the only green veggies I will eat⌠no kale for me
How about price cuts on those $10 milk tea ice cream at Whole FoodsâŚmaybe then I will finally shop there.
UnbelievableâŚ
One of my friends bought several pints of those and I thought that was nuts. I donât think I ever bought anything from Whole Foods. Trader Joeâs is the way to go.
I suppose it could be worstâŚMarco Polo on Taraval has real supposedly durian ice cream by the pint. If I remember correctly I paid something like $10 to $20 for a PINT!!! What can I do? Mother inlaw was here during that time for our weddingâŚ
Amazon buying Whole Foods is freaking genius. Alibaba already operated some supermarkets in china and are much more high tech than anything in the US. Watch this space.
While I like the idea of efficiencies, I hope my local Safeway is not going to be impacted down the line. If that ever went away, I would think my Sunset house takes a what 10-15% shave for that alone??? Sorry, wifey is expensiveâŚ
I never go to Whole FoodsâŚMy impression is it attracts single millienlials that like its overpriced takeout meals and its organic health food branding. âŚTrader Joes is a much better business model.
My friend Jim DraegerâŚYeah his family owns Draegers says Whole Foods is non union and that is their âspecial sauceâ Otherwise Draegers is better and has higher quality and much better snob appealâŚ
Ok, Fearless Leader, which side are you on???
Finally another place to go read some free books while getting a coffee break again⌠
If those independent bookstores still survive after all these years of being Amazonâed I donât think they have anything to fearâŚ
Ok, letâs watch Youâve Got Mail play out in the real worldâŚ
For those bookstores that have good looking people like Meg Ryan? Absolutely nothing to worry about.
Folks, I moved the Amazon HQ2 speculation to its own thread. Itâs too juicy a topic to bury deep inside an old threadâŚ
Wow, coolâŚ
