I Got Myself Into Trouble Again

Is it no surprise that they “yelled” at me again for taking pictures in Whole Foods?  I should have known better.  I just couldn’t contain myself when I passed through the bakery and saw the display case.

This was a different set of people who “yelled” at me though.  So they had no idea I had already talked to a manager months ago when this same incident occurred.

It was my fault, after all, because I should have first stopped and told a manager in customer service like they suggested I do the last time this happened.  At least they let me finish taking my shots.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, enjoy the lovely bakery department at your nearest Whole Foods Market—or any bakery for that matter.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Always stop by the customer service department before taking pictures at Whole Foods, lest you get “yelled” at.

So, I absolutely LOVE my Whole Foods Market health food store.  I love the layout of the store and how everything is so neat and pretty when you walk inside.  It makes you want to buy everything.

This is part of the fun of trying new recipes all the time.  It exposes me to ingredients that I’ve either never heard of before or never used before—weird spice names, cheeses I’ve never heard of, produce that sounds like it came from another planet, and more.

What I’ve found though is that when you can’t find most of these ‘weird’ items in an average grocery store—you can always find them in the Whole Foods health food store.  Boy, they carry EVERYTHING!

So here I am walking through the store doing my usual shopping thinking what nice things I could say about this store on my blog.  I took pictures here and there (over the course of 3 different days that I did my shopping over a 2-week time period) of how neatly everything was arranged and how nice the store looked—and no one ever said anything to me.

Now, the meat guys looked at me weird at one point—but that was about it.  I just assumed they thought I was a meat inspector or something—but dressed how I was that day, I don’t know how they could have confused me.

And I’m thinking it’s no big deal to do this considering how everyone has cell phone cameras all over the world now.  I mean, what do I know?  How can you police everyone?

Well, I didn’t have a problem until I got to the cheese department.  There is apparently a cheese department manager/policeman who had an in-depth conversation with me about what I was doing, you can’t do that, who are you, why are you here, etc., etc., etc.  It went on and on and on.

What I didn’t like was that he told me I “couldn’t take pictures at all.”  But when I asked him why, he just gave me a blank stare and didn’t have an answer.  Then he said it was their store policy.  Well, I asked him why it was their policy—what was the reason.  He still couldn’t/wouldn’t tell me.  He didn’t have an answer right off the bat.
