Thread regarding Whole Foods Market Inc. layoffs

Marketing 101. It takes a lot a of money to get a new customer into a store.

Team members are customers too. They spend a lot of money. Whole Foods has just lost a lot of customers.

$70-190 a week at Aldi feeds my large family fine. Never another dime to WFM. Shopping trips were never less than $150 Usually closer to $200.

In two trips to HEB ive spent approx 150$.

With that, i have food for a month for me and mine, plus the ever essentials like t.p. etc.

Anything i loved at wfm, ive already found on amazon for cheaper or the same price directly from the manufacturer.

I will never spend anothet dime there.

Considering the return policy, i collected old receipts.and half used products and returned everything I could.

I was a common team member and spent a lot there. Haven't since that day and I don't plan on it either.

I'd feel better shopping at Wal-Mart. At least they don't try to hide the fact that everything is from China.

Local natural food stores are the only way to go.

Now is the time to support independent businesses. Don't support a scumbag corporation.

Very few team leaders or STL's ever shop at our store, and there is no way that common team members can afford it, even with the 20%.

This corporation knows nothing about marketing. They do however have a PHD in wasting money.
