Trying to make amends?

Thank you so much for contacting Whole Foods Market with your feedback about John Mackey’s op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal. We offer you our sincere apology for any offense caused by this article. John intended to offer his personal opinion, and was not advocating his views on behalf of Whole Foods Market or its team members. We are sharing all of the feedback that we have received about this article with our entire Executive Leadership team and we appreciate that you took the time to share your feelings with us. Again, we offer you our sincere apology, and hope to have your support of Whole Foods Market in the future.

 

(A note received from Whole Foods Market when informing them about not doing business there anymore.)

 

Except John Mackey referred to Whole Foods in his editorial. So that invalidates the whole 'personal opinion, and was not advocating his views on behalf of Whole Foods Market or its team members' BS -
 
"At Whole Foods we allow our team members to vote on what benefits they most want the company to fund."
 
So no, it's not just his personal opinion.

 


 
If Whole Foods Market truly doesn't share his opinions, then they should prove that by not employing John Mackey's services as CEO or otherwise, permanently.
