So, when the Cupertino WF moves across Stevens Creek Blvd into that
fancy new 65,000 square foot megastore later this summer, will they let
us pay with phony-internet-alias-money, do you think?

p.s.: here's the Yahoo bulletin board mentioned in the NYT article -
complete with a non-apology apology by Mackey, a.k.a rahodeb. What a nutjob.

He, he, "Nasdaq to change Whole Foods Ticker symbol from WFMI to WTFMI..."

So why isn't this clown doing time for securities fraud????

"massive conflict of interest" - goes without saying. I'm way too politically unsavvy to know how much of an impact his "support" of higher taxes, whatever form that takes, will actually have on his ability to wade in campaign contribution cash. But in my likely naive viewpoint, I think he's trying to do the right thing.
