AUDIO: WHOLE FOODS LOWERING PRICES
Amazon, which recently bought the Whole Foods grocery chain, has announced it will be slashing prices on a myriad of items in its stores. The price cuts will go into effect on Monday, when Whole Foods officially falls under the wide Amazon banner. Whole Foods will shift to Amazon Prime as its customer rewards program, with Prime members receiving “special savings and in-store benefits” immediately.
* That’s great. But you still can’t find a box of Vanilla Wafers anywhere in the store.
* Are they closing the stores ’til Monday and giving the employees some time off, or are the current owners hoping for a few last-minute chumps?
* Any apology for gouging us up ’til now? Hello?
* If you’ve never been to Whole Foods, you walk down aisle after aisle and think, “How did I suddenly transport to this eastern Europe grocery store?”
* Finally, I can afford that bag of kale chips my children love so.
