When I worked there and now as a shopper, I find that the weekends are the WORST at WFM. The one WFM I go to is small and fortunately the staff is VERY friendly. Unfortunately, I think they get abused by a demographic of snotty,nouveau riche suburban types who think it's 'cool' to shop there. Most of the time, I get the Yogi teas from them. However, I discovered that National Liquidators has Yogi teas too and a little cheaper than WFM. Sampling is hard to do because some people just taste and don't care to buy. Glad to see you blogged about the demo experience.
