/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I unironically like their shitty overpriced pizza

>>12226715
>Why do you faggots cry about this place so much?
Because /ck/ only eats fastfood.

>>12226715
we cried because prices were too high
if they're low now, WF is officially the shit

Trader Joes is very similar with the "healthy/organic products", and their frozen/premade foods are much better, and cheaper

>>12226721
same it is delicious

>>12226715
whole foods is always full of obese boomers, what the hell are you talking about?

>>12226754
>buying frozen premade food

Market of Choice >>>> Whole Foods

>>12226715
Whole foods and chinese stores are how I survived when I lived in the US for a bit, so I'm grateful for that, but - just like the organic supermarkets here in euroland - it's just so fake and smug and overprized. Why can't the US just have normal supermarkets?

>>12226715
Grocery store for queers and women. Neither of those belong on this site.

>>12226715
>Amazon
Haven't been in here since Amazon took over so I haven't seen yet, is this the place that uses facial recognition and cloud wallet for checkout and to monitor shoplifting? If so it can still get fucked. If not, might give it a second chance

>>12226874

Because that wouldn't be American, but something what civilized countries do.

>>12227217
Local coops are better for produce, dairy, eggs and sometimes meat, but they generally don't carry bulk grains and beans, so there's that.

>>12227082
>living in Dallas where there are no HEBs but Whole Foods on every corner
._. I've been to HEB once when I was in San Antonio for work. I remember walking in and being shocked by just how large the place was - it just kept going and going. I probably only saw 1/3 of the store and was there for 30 minutes. While I was there I purchased a delicious fresh squeezed gallon of pineapple juice for some absurd shit like 5 dollars. Whole Foods is great if you have extra money and are going to be cooking from-scratch dishes, but for anything packaged snack wise or drink wise I hate it. I'm not going to a grocery store consistently if I can't pick up everything I need there, and all of the Whole Foods versions of snacks and drinks I usually get at Walmart like Coke and Pretzels taste like shit at whole foods and cost two to three times the price. Props to their beer selection though, typically top notch and great local selection.

>>12227339
I worked at a co op that had a pretty good bulk selection on dry foods, so I guess it depends. But yeah the meat/produce/eggs from local farms are definitely worth trying.

>>12226874
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

Whole foods carries some local stuff sometimes that I like

Also their cheeses are great.

>>12226715
It's alright but honestly my local HEB has a wider selection and a way better bulk section for spices and shit. Also the local farmer's market is better for produce. But I guess if I'm in bumfuck nowhere Whole Foods is a step up from Wal-Mart at least.

>>12227217

Trader joes is great too

Around here therr is also sprouts

Central Market elitist rulling class

>>12226715
Supermarkets have thin profit margins. That's well known. It's a very hard business. Is Amazon even making money on this fool's errand? Was it a bad decision to buy WF?

>>12226715
whole foods is cool but they actually sell GMOs if that matters to you. also the founder or owner or what ever is extremely libertarian and hates unions so if you shop there thinking youre an obama youre not.

i go there weekly, usually on awed after 1pm; place is moderately busy with 55+ vegan types, gaunt-eyed women and skinny old men with the look of “where did my life go so wrong” on their faces. I guess the hot moms are at Target.

>>12230218
Wednesday, fucking autocorrect

>>12230211

to be fair most CEOs hate unions

>>12226754
Also their packaging is cooler

>>12230182
HEB thankfully has most central market products.

>>12226715
I like whole foods but the issue I have with them is since they only source locally Im not always garunteed to find the things I need

>>12230196
they bought a grocery distribution network, they'll eventually change faces or start opening Amazon grocery stores for a poorer market

>>12231191
That's not true of the one near me. During the local growing season they'll have more locally sourced, but they'll carry the product off season as well although it most likely will be conventionally grown. One thing I've noticed after amazon bought them, there is significantly less local produce even when it is in season.

>>12226715
I rarely shop there, but am grateful it exists when I need it.

Now that I've moved somewhere that doesn't have one, I'm not very happy. The closest thing I have is some local organic grocer (with no amazon discount).

>>12227082
FUCK IT'S NOT FAIR, THE CLOSEST HEB IS LIKE AN HOUR AWAY

does that mean the local co-op is right?

Scoping out cardio bunny alt-vegan skinnies at Whole Foods is for boys.

Eyeing the baseline casual weaponized thiccness of Coscto moms is for real men.

>>12226721
Same. $7 for two slices but its good shitty pizza, slightly better than costco

Whole food a shit compared to a real grocer like Kroger.

wasted double trips with the lucky 7 sandwich. been here for 11 years haven't seen that for at least 8. damn shame.

>>12231175
Yeah but my local central market carries a fucking $30 jar of some fancy imported mustard, 30 fucking dollars, for mustard.

>>12232467

one time I saw a steve mre looking dude with a hillary for prison t shirt on casually browsing whole foods not far from where steve lives in florida. wasn't him though

>>12227082
Moving to Austin soon. What is it?

>>12232698
Good luck anon, im counting down the days till i move out of this commie shit hole.

>>12226754
Except that Trader Joe's isn't a full-fledged grocery store because you wouldn't be able to buy the stuff you need for a week's worth of family meals. Whole Foods, however pricey, allows that.

>>12233891
holy shit lol

Nah, if it weren't for Austin, TX would be nothing but a mixture of MS, LA, OK and northern Mexico swirled together with a heaping helping of petroleum and cow shit.

so basically what it is now outside of Austin. got it.

you’ve never been to a food co-op, right??

>>12231788
maybe so, but the food is of higher quality

Winco is awful

>>12234076
I've been to texas and it sucks

Yeah whole foods is fucking based when I want to buy trendy snacks or need any sort of exotic foods. It's great for super high quality produce too. The environment just feels richer too. Everyone in there is usually well dressed, smells nice, wearing nice clothes, polite, and quiet.
>>12226874
>Neither of those belong on this site.
OH NO NO NO NO NO

>>12234583
Whole Foods is based out of tx, there wf is trash.

Seriously there hot bar has the most bland food ever.

Mom and I could spend hours there.

>>12226869
It’s supposed to be big you twit.
It’s in the fucking name-SUPERmarket.
If you want to go to a regular market, go there. Supermarkets are supposed to be big and have lots of selection.

>>12234076
TX outside of Austin really is stinky poopoo. Try driving through West TX w/o a mask, nothing but fields of black back angus cattle in enormous field lots as far as you can see to the horizon. The stench literally gags you as you drive.

>>12226715
WF is good....Tony's and Sprouts are better.

>>12226869
>Why can't the US just have normal supermarkets?

bitch where'd you live? most major US cities have great local chains.

>>12234855
i did not enjoy my time at whole foods but sprouts is so much fucking worse.

i once asked a sprouts employee where i could find laxatives and he stared at me blankly. eventually they led me over to a rack full of sugar pills. The cunts don't even carry fiber. A man's got to shit.

>>12234797
when you think Austin is the best part of Texas, you need to GTFO

>>12234881

>>12235109
No, because I met my girlfriend at Whole Foods and she isn't vegan. I have wondered about it though.

Basically one step up from team member. It's the usual progression from team member to orderer now.

>>12235619
>orderer
you mean a buyer? what the fuck happened after amazon took over lol? I'm guessing you're in grocery?

>>12235621
Yeah, I'm in grocery. We still call them buyers, but in my store we say orderers for some reason.

>>12231741
The local co-op is the Ted Kaczynski of organic options.

>>12235621
Also, not much has changed since Amazon took over except for the $15 wage. I'd say there's more 365 every day value shit though.

>>12235576
Thanks homo, I will.

>>12235642
oh right you said market, aka what grocery used to be. I missed that.
