   I never understood the freak-out over the transition from Greenlife to Whole Foods. I was feeling that I was the only person that thought it would be better for everyone involved.

   My wife and I consider Greenlife our neighborhood grocery store, shopping there a couple of times a week. I’ve talked with six or seven Greenlife staff members about the purchase of the store by Whole Foods, and they seem enthusiastic about the resulting benefits for them–health insurance, retirement fund, greater professional opportunities, among others.

   And they probably will pay you more, give you the $1500 FSA card, full health insurance with premium paid for and a 20% discount, to name a few things….right?

   We didn’t have to re-apply, we had to basically be switched to whole foods paperwork for payroll. All of us here at Greenlife are accounted for. The Whole Food zombies didn’t eat us or lay us off. 🙂
