Pills. Organic pills for nearly every imaginary illness know to
mankind. Also, fifty-dollar tea sets for overpriced organic herbal
tea.

"Overpriced produce" is an understatemnt. As someone else mentioned,
their meat selection is not large and is expensive. Of course their
prices no doubt reflect the humane treatment that the animals get
before you-know-what happens to them.

The last time I was in one, I just needed a box of trash bags and was
in a hurry. I couldn't find them and asked for help. It took the
woman I asked about ten-minutes to locate the extra-special,
enviormently f(r)iendly trash bags on the lowest shelf of the section
they were supposed to be in. They only had one brand -- I got the
feeling anything made of plastic was not really welcome in the store.

Oh, don't expect to see any national brand items in Whold Foods. You
can find overpriced, brown, mint flavored toothpaste that's made in
India, but you'll not locate the old run-of-the-mill Crest toothpaste.

I suggest you wander around the store and get a few chuckles at what
you see and only buy whatever that coupon will get you. In short,
Whole Foods suck.
