That’s a good reason not to go to Whole Foods. Another is they’re owned by Amazon, which funds Trump’s ballroom and also powers the digital operations of ICE and CBP.
Not trying to dissuade people from hating on Amazon, but to say they run the operations for ICE, like yeah, they run a good chunk of the internet via AWS.
Having not ever gone to a Whole Foods, or even being curious about it, I did not know of it’s owership. Now that is a good reason…
TIL.
It wasn’t originally an Amazon company, they got bought out many years ago.
Thank you!
Ewww?
I think that was really sweet. Dude was obviously in a great mood.
Rare in today’s chaos.
It’s only socially acceptable to be depressed.
As long as you’re depressed on your own and not inconveniencing others.
I don’t see what’s wrong with that. Odd turn of phrase, but he’s saying he’s having a very good day. He’s just sharing his positivity with you.
That means you’re one of them.
One of those people who doesn’t understand how a statement can be saccharine and offputting even if the literal meaning is fine.
Hey, when I added “I haven’t eaten any babies yet today.” to the end of my “Not great.” response, it wasn’t intended to be the reason I’m not doing great, I just wanted to reassure you that I haven’t turned to eating babies despite how ungreat my day has been. And the “yet” wasn’t because I had plans for later in the day, it’s because I can’t predict the future!
Chad at the store: “How was your day ?” “Mine was great” (in a fancy way)
You and some other people: “NOOO !!! YOUR FORMULATION IS OFF-PUTTING, BILLIONS MUST DIE !!!11!!”
Do you think the waitress’s smile and tone are sincere, too?
How does that relate? The waitress is bound to a social constract that restricts their behaviour, much like one should not spew some platitudes that sound like you’re tripping right now in response to a customary greeting that really isn’t about how they’re doing unless asked of a close friend or family in a private setting.
It relates because neither is actually sincere, and thinking either is doing anything other than performing for some other purpose is a failure to read cues.
The overly friendly and polite shtick is how people landed on “m’lady”, but it got memed so hard everyone realises it was cringe.
yeah i actually don’t go to a restaurant unless the waitress stomps on my balls
Hey, I’m not here to kinkshame.
That morning, the man’s wife safely gave birth to their first child. He was stopping by Whole Foods to get that expensive fruit drink that she loves so much, but won’t buy for herself because she say’s its too expensive. Everything he looked at he saw with a shine of promise for the happy future for his growing family. He lost his mother to cancer when he was 14, and worried about what kind of parent he would be without being able to grow into adult with his mom in his life. Today though, he had no doubts. He looked in his newborn’s eyes and knew he’d move mountains with focus and determination just to make her dreams come true. For a moment he felt his mother’s fleeting presence, and her pride in her now adult son with a child of his own.
He was standing in line to pay holding two small bottles of overprice fruit juice and notice the woman in front of him sigh as she pulled out one credit card out of her wallet, pausing, and then put it back pulling out another instead. He could see in his minds eye that years ago this woman’s father looked down at her on the day of her birth and felt that immense love that he did for his own newborn daughter. He wanted to tell her just how much her father had to have loved her on that day and still did to this day, and would until he left this Earth.
“How are you doing?”, he asked her. She glanced at him.
“Ok. How about you?” she said slightly annoyed as she gave him a side eye. He wanted to gush about how beautiful life was, and how happy he was to be alive. He opened his mouth and closed it again, catching himself and slightly smiling instead.
“It is beautiful in my soul today” he said. She paid for her purchase without looking back leaving the man to his joy of life. He never knew if she could sense his joy or the intense connection to humanity he felt in that moment.
I love you
Guys look, Aaron Mahnke is doing memes now!
“I’m Aaron Mankey, and this is Lore.”
Beautiful in my soul today, colon’s a different story though.
I long for the day I can say it’s beautiful in my soul.
Going through a rough patch, and could see how hearing this would be irritating… but I want to take comfort in the idea of being that confidently happy.
My soul is a battlefield today, but the battle isn’t over yet
The percentage of wackos is Whole Foods is definitely higher than average. I try to avoid that place unless I need something highly specific that I can’t find elsewhere.
Going to wholefoods in my college town used to be pretty funny. It was a solid mix of old hippies and trustifarians, with a handful of normal people mixed in. I used to go to pick up their pre-made deli food for my grandma, (she n loved the quinoa cakes, and Buddhist delight tofu) and for a while was buying my LSD from one of the produce guys, who was just pretty openly dealing in the store.
They also used to keep cases of 2 buck chuck in the door vestibule, and absolutely didnt care if kids stole it- lien at one point, I remember a teen walk over a staff member, ask which ones were the red wine, thank him, and then just load a couple cases Into his truck and drive off, eithout ever going inside, and while the staff member just continued chatting with his coworker.
Your whole foods experiences are way cooler than mine. When I go it’s usually some combinations of very wealthy women and “all natural” people looking for supposed super foods. I only go because they are the only place around that has a good selection of items for some food allergies/sensitivities that people in my home have.
It too is beautiful in my soul today.
This is the kind of shit I would say with the most sardonic look on my face
