The MANAGEMENT of WHole Foods is THE PROBLEM !,

In not the biggest deal,,, BUT annoying as hell.
When you’re in upper 60s, and 70s and even 80s,
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTIFICATION FOR BEING CARDED, NONE!

(I believe they SCANNED ID, not just looking at)

So just NOT buying any wine there anymore.
Whole Foods can SHOVE IT !!

The other local HEB grocery store in my neighborhood does NOT require an ID to
purchase beer or wine — so that’s where I will buy my occasional bottle of wine.

SCREW WHOLE FOODS

Do they scan your card? bucolic_frolic Mar 2025 #3
