Asking Whole Foods Shoppers What They Do For A Living

[@CharlieChang]

If you shop at Whole Foods, let me know in the comments why you shop there and what the best things to buy are! Hope you enjoy this Asking Strangers series - and yes I almost didn't film this video because we kept getting rejected over and over again, until we went inside the store :) Get outside of your comfort zone!! -Charlie

Yo bro u could put me on im 13 I’m I’ve been inspired to make cash even though I do not have a credit card. I wonder does that set a boundary for me not to make cash

[@kaigeewong4200]

had to sub right now to the channel ... great questions and seems like it's usually in my local area

[@AR-Exp]

Bro Erewhon next, do the Santa Monica or Venice, or Silverlake locations. Hollywood is wannabes

[@SPG48]

I work at Whole Foods... Great experience.

[@walkingblueshiker777]

Just saw this. It was awesome and I was glad to meet you. Learned a lot and was inspired by others in this video. You are very inspiring as well. Oh boy, your channel is another rabbit hole I get to enjoy. Good thing I'm retired.

[@nisargsangodkar6691]

Hey man, you were my favourite stranger. Great going!

[@Simply.Mariela]

It was so nice meeting you! I enjoy watching these videos and it was awesome to get to be a part of it! I always learn from these so I hope you continue to do them 😄

[@SpencerJohnsonOfficial]

What Mariela touched on about credit cards is one of those small financial habits that can really help build you towards your financial goals and allow you to travel in ways you never thought possible. I'm super passionate about the credit card game and profiting from them, but it all comes with the caveat, as you mentioned, that you have to use credit cards responsibly. I always tell people to use a credit card like a debit card and pay it off on-time and in-full every month, and you can find a lot of value in using them. Great video all around Charlie!

[@Simply.Mariela]

this is exactly what I meant. just need to make sure you're able to pay it off and use it right or else it can hurt you lol

[@thaniaxo]

Mama Hieu’s advice was KEY What’s understood doesn’t need to be said 💯💯

[@cb4664]

Yes I loved him and love her-😂

[@wonkum]

Honestly Hieu was so well spoken and gave such valuable advice for young entrepreneurs

[@tacs9960]

Definitely, he was dropping absolute gems.

[@timothywaddell8566]

"It's not as bad as you think it is." EXACTLY.

[@melevonne]

Really loved Hieu's segment.

[@aftaabmd8844]

Lovely people. Everyone was polite, humble, true to themselves. That also young people, i was way more arrogant when i was in my late teen age. Very inspiring.

[@newthrash1221]

The budtender student had the best advice about taking L's early. I was so afraid of failure when i was young and learned too late that failure is inevitable, and will make you stronger.

[@shumatsuopost]

It just goes to show that anyone can shop there and it's not just for a specific type of person. Love this kind of content, keep it up!

[@yourfinancialjourney]

Thank you Charlie for the video. I think that most of us struggle in believing in ourselves and if just win that fear that stops us from being bold and trying out what we really like doing, we could be much happier and proud of our achievements. And of course, taking care of our body and health is very important, we should all start cooking fresh instead of ordering pre-cooked food or eating fast food! Stay healthy and strong everyone!

[@ponyhaly6131]

I don’t think whole food is “whole pay check” anymore. Since AMAZON took over the business. There’re sales stuff every week with Amazon prime as well. I usually get when things I like to eat on a regular basis on sales because they’re cheaper than other grocery stores sometimes. You just have to pay attention to the price. I live in San Francisco by the way!

[@CharlieChang]

Yeah Whole Foods is definitely cheaper than before Amazon bought them - but they still have a lot of premium items that are super expensive!!

[@indigorose1270]

I live in South San Jose. And it's still a "whole paycheck " . I shop there as a vegan with food allergies. And I spend more than 800 bucks a month for one person.

[@cb4664]

I said the same thing. It’s really just a regular grocery store now.

[@tamirajohnellestyle]

What’s understood doesn’t need to be said has always been one of my favorite quotes

[@kevinreed4162]

Thank you Charlie for doing these interviews! Especially the fact that you intuitively know to ask different questions based on the individual you’re speaking with. I always learn something new from your videos!

[@joe.mejica]

Charlie! Appreciate you and Alex for taking the time to film/interview me and giving us all the opportunity to share. Keep up the amazing work and hope we can meet again!

[@boondoggle4820]

It doesn’t cost that much more to shop at Whole Foods than it does at a lot of other grocery stores if you have a Prime membership, you mainly by stuff that’s on sale and you have the Chase Amazon Prime visa. It’s not as cheap as bargain stores like Walmart and Lidl, especially for things like frozen veggies and basic staples like cheese, but I get high quality meat and fresh veggies at a decent price with my strategy of focusing on items that are on sale. I get pasture raised eggs at Whole Foods for less than most other grocery stores. They’re pretty much the same price as the regular eggs at Walmart.

[@lisanbradshaw]

That's some commitment Charlie!! Love these types of videos, lot of unique successful people!!

[@roseywinter]

If you shop at multiple grocery stores and have access to varying brands/off brands, with competitive prices, you can be surprised at how much you can get for less money. Also, although there are expensive things at Whole Foods, they have many brands to choose from... just choose the less expensive brands. Or, if you know they have the same brands at another store, you can pick and choose what you're buying at Whole Foods, and get the other items elsewhere.

[@agneslazo2442]

So inspiring interview & people. People are so honest, humble & their drive for self improvement success really manifest. God bless for them & you in this wonderful interview. ❤

[@MsMinglifestyle]

I actually did a grocery store price comparison video. Wholefoods price is pretty similar to sprouts, other than meat products~

you got this bro! don't sweat too much on the technical stuff. keep doing what you love, leverage your strengths, and continue to find ways to invest/grow your skills. whether it is a solutions architect role or your own business it will all help in the long run.

[@dyoung2739]

I loved everyone that you interviewed but especially the young Asian entrepreneur. I always have to make my bed everyday,too,no matter what. Whole Foods owes you some sponsorship $s.

[@heyelliew]

I shop there because I work there. 20% off everything for me, baybay!

[@CharlieChang]

Oh no way! That's cool

[@TranAnnette]

I used to work as a shopper before Amazon took over Wholefoods. I received paychecks directly from Amazon, and they did give me extra money sometimes. I would say it was a nice experience, and paychecks did not look bad at all. I don't know how it is right now, but I kinda regret quitting it. It offered great flexible schedule for a student like me

[@boondoggle4820]

Also, the one shopper said that she goes to Whole Foods when she wants to treat herself but she usually shops at Sprouts. I don’t understand this because Sprouts where I live is pricier than Whole Foods. I like both stores and there are specialty items that I can get both places that I can’t get anywhere else, but I almost always make out a little better at Whole Foods than I do at Sprouts in terms of the price.

[@csmt12]

Their salad bar is thievery. I love it.

[@barbarosozturk]

I love how the 80/20 rule that applies to Charlie's interviewees. 80% of the people provide irrelevant advice with odd backgrounds while the other 20% provide that golden knowledge that can help you get ahead in life.

Hieu's interview warmed my heart

Next: Why do you shop at Walmart.

[@Freitas_lll6]

Hello from Brazil!! love the content.💥

[@UnboxCraftyMagic]

I am a whole food shopper , but I am just a delivery driver , the only reason I shop at expensive store like this because prefer quality over quantity and spending my money wisely ….. 🤔 I also don’t have debts except mortgage only so I feel ok shopping at Whole Foods ….

[@Matrix_Media41]

Where you get the hoodie? Looks nice!

[@SwiftlyScrumptious]

It’s not that expensive to shop at Whole Foods. Healthy food in general is expensive no matter where you buy. Whole Foods is great for people with allergies or food restrictions as it has lots of vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options. And I love their salad bar/ cafe.

[@wanderfulescape773]

As a nurse who makes over $150k a year I would never shop at whole foods. I’d rather grow my own food. I’m also a cheapo.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I definitely hear you. You are similar to my dad who earns about 175k per year as an electrical engineer 👩‍💻

[@sharonpizarro_]

[@sunablast]

I recently got an offer from Whole Foods for a job there and I did the background check and everything. Does anyone know when they might get back to me?

[@alk672]

I always thought people who shop at Whole Foods don't do it because they are rich but because they are ideological about their food. I think this video proves and disproves it at the same time :)

[@linkysc]

That Costco return guy be wildin' admitting that lol

[@therealrosports12]

HIEU WAS AWESOME! VERY inspirational

[@Noah4evaa]

40 minutes dying and feeling good😂👍👍

[@zali9657]

Well I shop at whole foods. Idk why people think whole foods has healthy things. It sure does but 50% of the items u can find at other stores and some items aren't even healthy. For example vital farms pasture raised eggs. Whole foods charges $9 for them while Walmart charges $5.72. So why would I buy the same quality eggs and Pay for at whole foods than simply buying at Walmart. Hope yall get the point that whole foods just increases the price

[@darryllucas2742]

Strong!!🦾🦾🦾

I didn’t realize shopping at Whole Foods was a perk. I shop here because the healthier options and better looking produce and meats ..

I shop at whole foods because it's a 1 minute walk from my house. I just buy milk, eggs and some late night snacks.

[@jaelbore]

Maybe try to ask a less 'intrusive' question first ,create rapport like what is your favourite thing to shop here before proceeding to what they do for a living?

[@tamirajohnellestyle]

Stealing and returning😳

[@gabrielserrano5054]

Those are the honest answers especially from wealthy customers who have that habit scientifically.

[@gabrielserrano5054]

Of course they need good jobs to shop there. Maybe they might have coupons I doubt most do. Whole foods might as well go to a farmers market or buy online organic food that's actually cheaper. Might be desperate but maybe dumpster food they offer they will give to poor homeless people before they toss out fresh food
