Reply #5: The water spray is to keep the vegetables from wilting [View All]

[frazzled]

This is a really stupid article. Plus, none of the Whole Foods stores in my area has any of the things mentioned: no slate boards with prices of flowers, fruits or vegetables. There is not ice all over the place (though clue to the author: yes, they better damned well keep the cucumber and yogurt dip super cold: I would keep it in my refrigerator set at 38 degrees). There are no cardboard boxes with cantaloupes or anything else.

I don't know about this New York City store, but it is not representative of other WF stores. And although I am no great fan of Whole Foods (except I trust their meats and like to buy their bulk goods), I am even less a fan of ignorant articles like this one.
