| - Not sure why Whole Foods is the only grocery store that decided to also serve the wine and beer that they sell, but I love them for it.
To preface, I'm one of those weirdos that goes to sit-down restaurants and eats by themselves. I actually like it. The nice thing about this place is since it's a grocery store, you don't feel awkward about popping in for a glass of wine and a sandwich before you run your errands. Just make sure to keep it to one glass of wine and make sure to eat, because drunk, hungry shopping at Whole Foods could quite literally bankrupt you.
They have an everyday happy hour that includes $2 off wine ON DRAFT. I didn't realize this and got a regular glass of wine, then cursed my carelessness when I realized that one of my favorite wines, AZ Stronghold is one of their draft wines and would be $5/glass during happy hour, which is a fantastic deal.
The veggie burger and fries were both good, as was the wine I ended up ordering even though I didn't get the $2 off. Also, they didn't set up a separate POS for the restaurant so you are not given the opportunity to tip on your credit card receipt. I'd bring a couple bucks for that., but I think the employees must get paid full wage/salary and therefore are probably not getting as screwed as I originally thought they were, so that's good.
All in all, a great little place to get a pre-shopping drink and numb the pain away from the fact that you are probably about to spend more on produce than the amount of your first paycheck, so I'm a fan.
