Now, I have to admit when I walk into any Whole Foods Market on the planet, it IS like I've just been taken through a portal to Austin, Texas, where that style of clothing and attitude is more common than any other place outside of Humboldt County, California.
The only reasons I usually go to WFM is for import beer (Young's Old Nick or Oatmeal Stout, for example), buy some of those potato chips made from blue potatoes, El Galindo no-salt tortilla chips, or maybe get some fresh stone-hearth baked pizza.
I am not of the greenpeace crowd, nor am I anti-war, socialist/communist/marxist/totalitarian, nor just a druggie. Nope, I'm not a militant vegetarian nor homosexual nor politicially-correct. I'm a hetero white guy with better than average blue eyes that washes at least once a day (probably one of the cleanest people out there) that represents all that is supposedly hated by the limosene liberals in their quest take all my rights away bit by bit to eventually make me their slave, since I'm the "enemy" -- a white hetero Protestant who thinks for himself and doesn't want the "nanny state" in any more of his affairs or his pocket to give to lazy people who won't work.
However, I either don't get any stares going into the place or they do it and I'm not paying attention. I'm amused, however, no matter which WFM I go into, there is always a bunch of anorexic/druggie women dressed as hippies in hemp clothing do, puttering over in the grain/granola aisle and spilling that stuff all over the floor; it never fails (what does that say about the political leanings of the city health inspectors that they're never shut down for that aisle _always_ having food all over the floor - who ELSE gets away with that?). I'm a rather observant fellow of my surroundings, and since I don't have the formula looks of Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, I'm quite used to not attracting attention unless I'm the only white guy in a ghetto Sam's Club, Fiesta grocery store, or Wal-Mart.
So, my point is, if they are talking about you, so what? Your way of life and what you wear is not illegal.... yet. Make sure you don't let them chip away at your rights when you have the chance to stop that at the ballot box. Or one day they'll be able to direct the police to take you away for not "fitting in" to their warped "standards". Freedom isn't free; the cost of Liberty in Eternal Vigilance.
OR, you can do like I would do (depending on my mood) and get in their faces and ask them if they've got a problem, and THEN you can tell them to take a shower. :)
