I agree that Walmart can be extremely unpleasant compared to a regular grocery store for many reasons.
However, I’ve found Whole Foods staff to be extremely unwelcoming unless you seem like you fit in regardless of how much money you make.
Can definitely recommend wegmans for a more upscale shopping experience (Eg fancy cheeses, meats, selection of fish) without any of that “too cool for school” factor if you’re not in an “in” group.
Edit: Trader Joe’s is also pretty cool but it reminds me a bit of Aldi.

- late2part 5y agoYes! I remember my first time at Whole Foods I asked where to find the Coca Cola and they were very rude about not carrying it.
