If they make the stores less obnoxious, drop the prices a bit, and remove all the bullstuff homeopathic medicine, I might actually shop there occasionally.

I can't stand the irritating 'organic' theme. It genuinely means nothing. However, I still shop there a lot because I think the food is generally better than the other nearby stores. The olive and soup bars especially are great compared to the microwavable meals I'd get elsewhere.

Whole Food's food is p good, they have a sandwich/burger bar thing and its good.
