Whole Foods

Question: whole foods? do u think folks who shop at this store are members of a cult

Answer: I shop there and am not part of any cult. Unless you consider guys that sacrifice goats on pentagrams made of blood a cult. Only on the weekends.

Question: How does the Whole Foods total product offer differ from that of most health foods stores? Do you think a Whole Foods outlet would succeed in another country? Why or why not?

Answer: The variety and selection is much greater than a typical health food store. I do think Whole Foods would do well in a country that is economically strong. People are very interested in organic food as opposed to the mainstream hormone and pesticide infested foods that we can actually afford to eat. I think Whole Foods is a great concept, I just don't know how people can feed a family of 5. For a couple with no kids and limited expenses, but good income, Whole Foods offers a great alternative to mainstream grocery shopping. I wish we had one in my town and that I could actually afford to feed my family only organic foods.

Question: What percentage of your diet is whole foods? Just wondering how many people consume a large or a very little amount of whole foods in their diet. When i say whole foods I mean fresh fruits, vegetables, and etc. Nothing pre-packaged or canned?

Answer: Probably 60%. Our family has just recently changed our eating habits and we all feel great. I have lost over 30 lbs and my hubby has lost over 25. I would love to switch to 100%, but it's really not easy. Growing your own garden in the Arizona heat is extremely difficult.

Question: How much do hourly employee at Whole Foods Supermarket make? Not sure if I'll find someone who works at Whole Foods. I'm not asking about compensation at other supermarkets, but Whole Foods is different (in more than it's $price$) To become an hourly worker such as a cashiers, customer service, etc. Everytime I go in the employees are so amazingly friendly- everytime I go, every person I've seen. It kind of feels sureal. Never seen this kind of service at another business, not to mention supermarkets. I know the store is very expensive, do they offer high hourly pay? Is it something in the air?

Answer: 7.00-12.00

Question: What are your thoughts on the whole foods made in china vegetables? So in case you did not see the report, Whole Foods who claims to be all organic has organic foods in the frozen section imported from china without any of the organic regulations. The 3rd part they hired says they have never done inspections. I am concerned by so many things coming from china, I already started not buying toys and other things made there. I think I want to start a online store called "Not Made in China". Do you think this would be a success?

Answer: YES!! My daughter and I try to avoid anything from China een if it means paying a few cents more. We look for made in USA first and then as long as it is a democratic country, we go for it. I won't buy chinese products because all we are doing is arming the Chinese government and let me tell you they are not our friends! The chinese people as a whole are good people but their government is for themselves at any cost. By the way, Christians are murdered undergound in China in case you did not know. I would most certainly buy from some place like your proposed site. Good luck!

Question: What happens in farm that "Whole Foods" uses, do the do things to animals that mass producers do? I've recently saw some videos about mass producers of meat do to animals, what does the company "Whole Foods" do?

Answer: Their meat is organic meaning that they don't pump up the animals with antibiotics or growth hormones, however I doubt that the treatment of the animals differs that much from mass produced meat markets. Here are their standards: Here's a brief summary of our benchmark standards by species: Cattle/Buffalo * No antibiotics — ever * No supplemental growth hormones * No animal byproducts in feed * Range raised for at least 2/3 of the animal's life Veal Calves * No antibiotics — ever * No supplemental growth hormones * Group housing only, no tethering or individual crates * No animal byproducts in feed other than cow's milk * Unlimited access to grain Pigs * No antibiotics — ever * No animal byproducts in feed * No gestation crates * Sows provided freedom of movement in farrowing (birthing) pens * Bedding required to satisfy natural rooting instincts Lamb * No antibiotics — ever * No supplemental growth hormones * No animal byproducts in feed * Pasture raised Poultry * No antibiotics — ever * No animal byproducts in feed * No beak trimming for broiler chickens and game hens * Appropriate beak trimming for turkeys allowed when necessary* * Appropriate litter provided for comfort and to satisfy natural foraging instincts Note: Federal law does not allow the use of supplemental growth hormones in any poultry or pigs sold in the United States. * We allow the performance of physical alterations only when the overall physical and psychological welfare of the flock or herd would be benefited to prevent possible injury and only when conducted by a trained operator in an appropriate manner that minimizes any discomfort.

Question: Which job would be a better option Whole Foods supermarket or Macys retail clothes store? In the past I would have said the clothes store, but the thing is this supermarket pays $10 dollars an hour which is more than the clothes store. Also I think the supermarket gives more hours which I is good for me. Is there more oportunitinies in this Whole Foods supermarket or macys to move up? Ok, not just Macys but any other clothes or shoe store, are they still better than supermarkets, or does it depends what company it is?

Answer: you should work at macy's. while whole foods may pay more, macy's offer more levels of management, so within a month you can get a promotion, 6 months another promotion and after a year you can become a sales manager.
