[Sca-cooks] Whole Foods store WAS Friend going to Austin

[Ysabeau]

I'm sorry to hear that Susan. Everyone else I've ever talked to has loved
working there. If you post on the Bryn Gwlad list, you might be surprised at
the networking that occurs through the SCA!

I'd like to present a different side of Whole Foods, they treat their 
employees very poorly (I'm very bitter today, my husband was just laid off 
from Whole Food today, and the entire situation was an entire farce).  So, 
if you care about how stores treat their employees, please do not shop at 
any Whole Foods.
