My son worked there starting at age 16 part time and l later fulltime for 12 years. He was high levels in three different areas of the store. Cheese was his specialty and he was actually featured in the Denver newspaper a lot as a go to cheese expert. Then it gets sold and things went south in a hurry. He now is in a business and moving up in management. He is college educated and thought he would be at whole foods as a career but when they changed the employee knowledge based system and moved to more just having a worker be a cog in the machine, as most businesses treat their workers, he bailed. Whole foods lost a great employee.

The more workers can transition away from getting their health coverage through work, the better.

My dad used to say "how do you think super rich people got super rich?".
