Let's keep those margins up

What we really need is more Frankie's Olive Oil ($40 for 0.7L) #WFMPRICEFAIL - I'm sure that he's related to someone on the board of directors.

Here's my recipe for Fred's High Margin Magic Olive Oil: 1. Stop by Costco 2. Buy 20 liters of olive oil 3. Carefully funnel olive oil into 40 glass bottles (500 ml each) 4. Wrap a nicely-designed label around it for Frederico's Finest Quality Natural Custom-Blended Superior Olive Oil. Be sure to promise 10% of profits to go to the Whatever Foundation for the Benefit of Planet Earth. 5. Seal bottles and then sell each bottle for $34.95. When do I get my check?

What about all that garbage in Whole Body? Hats, Shirts, Hoodies, etc., I keep hearing how much this stuff sells but I don't see it in their total sales.

one thing that blows my mind is that WF has not figured out the scale of adulterated olive oil on the market. i have dealt with food allergies for about 20 years (my gut broke right around the time GMOs were introduced... hmm...) and i am quite attuned to even mild reactions. i bought 2 $20 bottles of organic EVOO at WF, both from the same distributor. one works fine for me, the other gives me a food reaction. i then called the distributor, and it turns out the problem bottle is a blend of sources, while the OK one is single-farm. so one source sneaks in some soy/canola/etc. to pad their income, and we get sick from the blend. even at the $20 organic bottle level, this is a problem. SMH. there are whole books devoted to fake olive oil now, so having confidence in some overpriced New Yaaawk(!!) label baffles me. just verify a smaller selection of products and give us only the clean shit. previously, WF employees could at least fathom this idea, whereas now they react like dogs being shown a card trick (no offense to you all).
