Whole Foods is one of the places that I get to count more often then not since they do there inventory ever four weeks, I really like the Whole Foods way and if I could eat all my food from there I would. I like it that there store always smells good and looks nice and is always very clean, even the bathrooms. So I am in the back-room counting tea, coffee and I place this tote on one of the bays across the way and start counting. After the third bin and with many WF employees watching me do this, the woman who does the bulk nuts, coffee for Whole Foods comes in and basically starts yelling at me that that is an "Organic Bay Only". I looked at her as she told me that nothing but organic products can be places on it. I look at her and told her that she needs to put a sign up or something to tell us this. As I said this she pointed to the very faded "Organic Only" written in black marker on metal boarder of the bay and then to the very the small plaque, written in very untidy handwriting on the bay underneath the under hang of the organic products and told me that she could lose her job for this. I looked around and said that no one had told me this and that there were at least two or three WF works in the back three to four feet away from me the whole time and no one stopped me. I kept my cool, even thought I wanted to yell right back in her face and thought fast about how I can make light of the situation. I then looked at her then I looked in the bay and saw that there were many non organic things on this bay, a packing tape dispenser, empty coffee cup's, pens, papers and three magic markers. I took the low road. I then asked her about the items on the so-called "Organic Bay" She then turned around and looked at the bay and grabbed everything, getting a paper cut in the mean while and getting her non organic blood on the "Organic Bay's" plywood base. She looked at me as if her getting mad and her getting a paper cut and getting her non blood on the "Organic Bay" was my fault. I kept working but was still kinda mad that she yelled at me for something I was not aware of. I really wanted to Kung Fu her in the throat, but I didn't because violence is not the answer..
