If you want "normal" brands, you're more than welcome to shop at Walmart. It doesn't sound like Whole Foods is catering to you.

- throwawayxu89 9y agoGrumpy, grumpy downvotes. Pound sand, you miserable assholes.
- Spivak 9y agoApparent elitism aside, Walmart is actually specifically catering to what he wants. You can buy your groceries online, they have the kinds of products he's looking for, and you can ship them to your nearest store and pick them up or have them delivered to your house.
- notyourday 9y agoGP is absolutely correct. Whole Foods does not cater to the Walmart market. In SaaS terms, WF is Enterprise which sometimes dips into Premium with its 365 brand. Those complaining about WF prices are those that want to spend $5/mo on basic service. P.S. I want a Ferrari. I don't want to pay $150k for one. So I'm not Ferrari's market.
- dsfyu404ed 9y agoThat's a terrible analogy. Walmart is the massive enterprise company built around high volume and low margins. WF is the SaaS provider selling nice but very overpriced audio and video software to some niche of the film industry.
- wongarsu 9y agoHe wants "normal brands", cheap products (or at least not premium-priced), and doesn't care for pointless procedures around organic food. How is it elitist to assume that he isn't in the target demographic of Whole Foods?
- matt_kantor 9y agoI'd imagine it was the inclusion of "you're more than welcome to". Whether intended or not, that turn of phrase makes it possible to read the comment with a snarky tone.
