Anecdotal, of course, but this was my Whole Foods and just about every time I went in it was pretty well trafficked. In addition to the apartment complex right above the store, there are several high density complexes within a couple blocks of that store. I really doubt it was for economic reasons.
But it was fairly common to see someone riding the long escalator up to the exit (the store is below ground) while yelling profanities at the security below watching them leave. When the store opened it used to have a nice selection of hard liquor, but they stopped selling that due to theft. And there are always several people so high they're barely able to stand, pretending to shop.
