Clodfobble's Whole Foods store.

As Texas as it get's... DUI with a cart.

Funny article in Reader's Digest concerning Whole Foods:

Next I approach the beauty aisle. There is a scary-looking machine there that you put your face inside of, and it tells you exactly how ugly you are. It calculates your wrinkles, your sunspots, the size of your pores, etc., and compares the results with those of other women your age. I think of myself as attractive, but as it turns out, I am 78 percent ugly, meaning less pretty than 78 percent of women in the world. On the popular “one to ten” hotness scale used by males the world over, that makes me a three (if you round up, which I hope you will).

I grab a handful of peanut butter pretzels on my way out of this stupid aisle. I don’t feel bad about pilfering these bites, because of the umpteen times I’ve overpaid at the salad bar and been tricked into buying $108 beauty creams. The pretzels are very fattening, but I’m already in the 70th percentile of ugly, so who cares?

78% ugly.

It's like those convex magnifying mirrors. Never make the mistake of looking into one.

Our customers get a free tea or coffee (although most grab it on the way out).
Glad it's not beer. Clean up in Aisle Nine anyone?

Is that from the downtown location, or the one in the Domain? Both are swanky, even for a Whole Foods. I've never noticed the free beer, but I have seen the "take a free piece of fruit for your kid" bin many times. Maybe they rotate?

They spend no more on the half-dozen beers than any grocery store spends on various other "free sample" tables. And they don't even have to waste a staffer on it.

The sign says 99 cents? Where's everyone getting 'free' from?
