^ Sounds too healthy for me. I want to stay true to my Detroit roots. How about Little Ceasars pizza and Stroh's ice cream topped with Saunders chocolate?

There is nothing in the terms of service that says you "can't be a cheerleader." There are however very specific sections about personal attacks against other members. Keep it clean.

Right on. They are a little expensive and hoity-toity for my tastes, but I admit that is quite an adventure when I do go in there. Have fun and share your experience with us!

Whole Foods has the best baked goods. I'll give them that.

That said, other than fruits and vegetables, I wouldn't buy anything else there.

So, while in Detroit for an interview, I just had to see this Whole Joke Foods store/$\
I really did not want to go inside, so I just cut through the parking lot. I will say it was on jam! Folks sitting in their cars in the middle of the aisles WAITING for a space. Though most people I saw exiting the store were carrying ONE bag that appeared half full. BUT knowing the exorbitant prices at any WF, they were probably carrying $45-$60 worth of food.

So I suppose a few 100 people a day spending $30 average is pretty darn good. Many of the shoppers were from DMC (judging by their scubs) and may have been buying lunch.
