Whole Foods is the most miraculous chain on the planet. Not only do they have a truckload of samples that you can just walk around eating, their foods are delicious and they only have to forcibly remove your arms as payment.
Literally, you can spend hours in the Whole Foods in Austin, Texas. Hours. It’s so large, and so confusing, and so prone to making people wander around, their eyes glazed over, their mouths parched, without an ability to satiate themselves, see? See? Reading that sentence nearly took an hour. Needless to say, it’s where your food dreams come true and your wallet’s nightmares happen.
Also, they hate fat people. Not completely, but Whole Foods offers their employees a 20% discount. If they meet a certain BMI requirement, however, that discount hits 30%. Meaning, the fat people who need healthy food the most, have to work harder to get it than those goddamn skinnies. That hardly seems fair. I think the people who most need healthy food should get it. So we should give a 30% discount on foods from Whole Foods to impoverished children in other countries.
This whole thing reeks of discrimination. Delicious, chia-bread discrimination. And next time I am there for four hours, I will make sure they know it.

They don't hate fat people... They are providing an incentive to be healthy. If a corporation wants to project a image of healthy lifestyles, it makes sense for their workers to follow that image.

I agree with the first comment. That's like saying an impoverished employee should get a bigger raise just because they "need" it. You want a 10% better savings? Get off your butt and work for it.

Working for it generally means as part of your employment...erm, daily work schedule? Agreed that it's a rather odd incentive, not sure if they hate fat people.
