omg. Chicago's new Whole Foods is amazing. Delicacies abound. SOBA!! Hot AnD cold. Cheeses! Fake meats!
I know where I'm moving now. A tent in the parking lot.
The downfall of their newest design (rumor has it this is the 3rd largest Whole Foodies in the world) is that it's not clear if you actually have to PaY for any of the food consumed on premises. It's bizarre. There are actually bars (yes, with liquour licenses apparently) inside the store, serving alcohol that can be imbibed while perusing in the aisles. For customers who are wont to exceed in imbibery, please, no puking in the Prepared Foods.
So yeah, the design flaw is that there are numerous restaurants and bars INSIDE the grocery store but none of these actually accept payment. The result being that there is a LOT of co-mingling of NYPF and ABPF groceries. (Not Yet Paid For, Already Been Paid For, respectively).
I walked around arms outstretched, groceries in one hand; the other clutching my receipts in a bundle, proffering them or at least trying my best to appear willing to proffer them to any uniformed employee who seemed to notice me.

what? the aldi's man is visiting whole foods? aren't those two stores the opposite of each other?
but while you are there, may i recommend icelandic yogurt - ginger flavor, and mediteranee yogurt - plum, walnut flavor?
after that, leave. too expensive...
as much as I dislike the idea of paying $70 for two half filled bags of unsatisfying health food, our local Whole Foods has the feel of a market, which I like. there should be bustle, stuff falling out, people tasting food and asking questions at a grocery store, not like the local megastore, where I want to talk to myself to drown out the silence, but for the low machine noises, in the chilly fluorescent vastness
