Much like Trader Joe’s and Costco, Whole Foods has a bit of a cult following.
Wellness enthusiasts flock to the supermarket chain for its promise of fresh, organic produce and healthier packaged food options. Others simply like to splurge on high-priced guacamole and hummus on occasion.
Whole Foods has come under fire for its prices (hence the “Whole Paycheck” nickname) and has recently lost favor with some shoppers following Amazon’s $13.7 billion acquisition.
Whatever camp you fall into, you have to admit this particular grocery store offers endless opportunities for humor. Here are 43 funny tweets for those who love to hate and hate to love Whole Foods.
It's West Side Story in the Whole Foods parking lot as two dads in cargo shorts fight over a parking spot, brandishing Audi flip keys like switchblades.
