The Ann Arbor Whole Foods and Whole Foods in general always seemed slimly to me. I guess now they have just proved it to me.
Illegal and immoral are two different things, sure, but when running a business (especially one that depends on the extra moral sound, flower loving hippies) it's bad business to do something that could damage the trust in your company just "because it was funny".
Nobody has pointed out yet that "Rahodeb" is an anagram of "Deborah." So what, you ask?...
I used to work for Whole Foods. I've been to John Mackey's ranch in Austin, Texas. I've been inside his garage. And I've seen what he keeps chained up in that garage. Furthermore, in 1976 I lived in an apartment complex in San Diego, and one of the tenants in my building worked for the FBI, and this woman was bisexual (I know it for a fact). I stood outside her door for seventeen days on one occasion. Yesterday it rained. All those balloons, your own mother could have told you a thing or two. But you probably wouldn't have listened anyway. That's the problem with people like you: always placing your friends in jeopardy (and then laughing about it later).
Goddammit, you're not going to get away from me that easy, nosirree...
Whole Foods kind of brain washes their employees anyway.
Anyone that only makes 9 bucks and hour to cashier and runs around town talking about how amazing their job is (I mean, scanning things. its not hard- but, it still kinda sucks) has been tampered with.
i worked at various whole foods in denver for about 4 years and can't say i once found anyone who held this opinion who wasn't 18 or working within their first 3 months.

He didn't perpetrate any wrong doing...legally speaking.
I would not be so sure about that. It may be unlikely that he is convicted for any wrongdoing here, but that doesn't mean he didn't break any laws.
Ethically, that can be debated.
I think it's even more clear how unethical it is. I guess it's debatable. Let me put it to you this way: if it were me, and I were on the BoD of Whole Foods, John Mackey would no longer be my CEO. For ethical reasons.
