At Least It Was Organic
The City Health Department shut down the Whole Foods at 1000 W. North Ave. today after finding evidence of a rodent infestation throughout the store, including a glue trap and over 100 droppings in a walk-in cooler. The store will remain closed until it passes reinspection; make sure to shop at one of the 400 other Whole Foods in the city.

Just shop at Jewel or Dominick's like everyone else.
You'll find not spending $150 for a bag of groceries really saves the green (the good kind, not the stupid environment)!

Trader Joe's made 'Whole Paycheck' it's bitch when it opened up a few years ago. After the other rat infestation at the WF on Ashland a few years back I won't go in there unless there is an organic emergency.

I used to work at Whole Foods and a regional electrician told me that the Lincoln Park store was the dirtiest in the region. This is not really "news" is it? I went there a few months back before I was told this, and almost every item I picked up in the Prepared Foods cold case was days out of date! That is a disgrace that a store who "cares" about the integrity of organic foods has allowed this to happen. Guess that's how they "create store environments that are inviting and fun." Long live - Whole Paycheck - Whole Hantavirus!!!!
