So, what Whole Foods did was not recognize any Federal Holidays. They give you a number of paid holidays you can take off each year, plus a certain amount of PTO for you to use as you like (which includes sick leave), and that's about it. The idea is that they are a commercial company supporting 500+ stores around the country, and those days tend to be their busiest. So, corporate shouldn't be getting days off when the people on the ground running the stores don't get the day off.
