Whole Dude coined the phrase Whole Retail to define a Marketing Strategy and Marketing Philosophy to retail Whole Products by deploying WholeDudes (without reference to gender, age, race, nationality and sexual orientation) to provide Whole Services to Whole People across Whole Planet. For reasons of convenience and brevity the term ‘Dude’ is being used as representative of all human beings.
At-will employment is a doctrine that allows an employer or employee to end the employment relationship at any time, with or without reason, without notice, as long as the reason is not illegal. This means employees are free to quit without notice, and employers are free to fire employees for almost any reason. However, at-will employment does not permit termination for illegal reasons, such as discrimination, retaliation for reporting illegal activity, or refusing to perform illegal acts.
The employment-at-will doctrine contrasts just cause employment/termination, in which an employer must provide a fair reason for terminating an employee and the employer often pays a Severance Pay if the employment is terminated for no fault of the employee.

Whole Dude Loves Whole Foods – A Happy Place and Happier People
Whole Foods-Whole Inspiration-Whole LanguageWhole Foods, Whole People and Whole Planet inspire Whole Dude to invent Whole Phrases: Whole Linguistics – Whole Language. The concept of Whole Cookie and Whole Love. Whole Dude uses the phrase Whole Linguistics to describe three entities; 1. Language User, 2. Language Interpreter and 3. Language Creator. Image Credit: Agenda Publications, Ann Arbor District Library, Issue Dates, December 1997 and February 1998.Whole Dude-Whole Time: The Concept of Whole Time Worker. Not Part-Time, Not Temporary, Not Seasonal, and Not Full-Time which limits the work schedule to 40 Hours per Week. “We’re growing something good and we want you to be part of it. If you’re ready to make a difference, bring your Whole Self to Whole Foods.” Whole Dude-Whole Time makes the Whole Difference.
Excerpt: Whole Dude Loves Whole Foods: The objective Standards for happiness at workplace are 1. Absenteeism, 2.Discipline, 3. Financial Security, 4. Sickness/Personal Injuries, and 5. Stress at Workplace. Using these criteria, Whole Dude claims that Whole Foods is a Happy Place with Happier People. The “Whole-Dude-Whole Time-Whole Journey” framework offers a holistic perspective on employee well-being, emphasizing that a person’s happiness at work is not isolated to their specific tasks but is influenced by their entire experience. This concept suggests that objective standards for workplace happiness must address the complete employee journey, from their initial contact with the company to their eventual departure.
Whole Dude – Whole Happy: Whole Dude Loves Whole Foods – A Happy Place and Happier People: The objective Standards for happiness at workplace are 1. Absenteeism, 2.Discipline, 3. Financial Security, 4. Sickness/Personal Injuries, and 5. Stress at Workplace. Using these criteria, Whole Dude claims that Whole Foods is a Happy Place and Happier People.
Whole Foods Market Inc., (WFM) hired me during April 1997 and since that time I am working in the Grocery Department at WFM Ann Arbor, Michigan. Most of my fellow employees acknowledge and endorse my claim, “Whole Dude Loves Whole Foods.” A person from Lansing, Michigan visited WFM Ann Arbor on April 10, 2015 and inquired if I am happy working for Whole Foods. He asked for my opinion about Whole Foods as a workplace. I politely responded that I do not believe in private conversations. I prefer to express my opinions in writing and I invite people to respond to my views by offering comments in writing. I could not continue my conversation with that person who desired to investigate working conditions at Whole Foods in general and at Ann Arbor in particular. I would welcome him and others to leave a comment on this post and ask for any further information to validate my opinion on Whole Foods – “A Happy Place and Happier People.”
Whole Foods – “A Happy Place and Happier People”
Whole Dude – Whole Happy: Whole Dude Loves Whole Foods – Happy Place-Happier People. Whole Foods Market, Austin Texas has formulated the concept of ‘Whole Foods’ to market organic, and natural foods without artificial ingredients, artificial colors, artificial flavors,synthetic sweeteners, and chemical preservatives. However, it has yet to formulate the concept of a Whole Person who may benefit by consuming Whole Foods. Whole Dude is a marketing concept to know the nature of the Whole Person. Whole Dude Loves Whole Foods, “A HAPPY PLACE AND HAPPIER PEOPLE.”
I demonstrate the fact of my Love of Whole Foods during a Life Journey precisely measured in Service Hours. Love and Happiness are purely subjective experiences. But, the fact of Love and the mental condition called Happiness can be accurately verified by using objective criteria to verify that subjective experience. Some of the tested objective standards used in evaluating the morale of any workforce include factors such as 1. Absenteeism, 2. Discipline, 3. Financial Security, 4. Sickness/Personal Injuries at workplace, and 5. Stress at workplace. Using these objective criteria, I claim that I Love Whole Foods for I find Happiness at Whole Foods.
Research clearly demonstrates a direct link between absenteeism and the happiness experienced by a worker at his workplace. I worked over 58, 308 Service Hours (not counting Overtime Hours) without any recorded unscheduled absence from work. Over the last 28 years of my employment at WFM, I maintained a Full-Time Status with variable work schedules dictated by the demands of the workplace. Since the last two years I am working Six Days per Week to give expression to my religious belief called Sixth-Day Adventism.
Weekly Work Schedule of Six Days
Apparently, I do not find the Service to be dull, uninteresting, monotonous, tedious, or boring. In fact, some of those characteristics are often associated with the experience called unhappiness. Unhappy workers tend to be either tardy or remain absent or miss scheduled work.
2. Discipline:
The compliance with the Standards and Ethics of workplace is clearly linked with the morale of the worker. Unhappy individuals more often face disciplinary action as compared to happy individuals. I will not be able to claim that I Love Whole Foods and I will not be able to assert that I am happy working at Whole Foods if I do not maintain a Clean Slate, a record that is free from marks of discredit or dishonor. I welcome any interested party to verify my personal Record of Service kept at WFM and I fully waive my rights to keep such information private and confidential.
3. Financial Security:
In the modern economic life, the true index for personal happiness in life is not the figure on the paycheck. Happiness at workplace is not consistent with financial insecurity. The level of personal indebtedness is a true measure of a person’s financial security. I make a living working at WFM without incurring personal debts or taking Credit Card loans. In other words, while being an hourly wage earner at WFM (without a signed contract), I am able to live a life without experiencing financial insecurity.
4. Sickness/Personal Injuries:
A number of studies reveal a relationship between a person’s susceptibility to sickness, a person’s proneness to injury and the person’s psychological state or condition. Current medical research indicates a connection between mental health and happiness with immune function. Even when the working environment is clean and healthy, unhappy individuals more often report sickness or sustain injuries at workplace. During the time I spent at WFM, I have not missed even a single day of my work on account of sickness or personal injury.
5. Stress at Workplace:
Occupational Stress is clearly reflected in the personal habits of the workers. Individuals experiencing stress are often driven to find relaxation by using tobacco, alcohol, or any variety of Chemical Substances and Drugs used for recreational purposes. Secondly, workers often take ‘Time Off’ to escape from the stress experienced at the workplace.
I do not use tobacco, alcohol, or any other recreational substance and this fact has been consistently verified by voluntary participation in periodic drug screening tests and during medical examination by physicians over a course of 25 years.
University of Michigan and Michigan Medicine: On Tuesday, December 05, 2023, I signed the Informed Consent Form for the AHEAD 3-45 Study Screening Procedures. Reference: UM eResearch ID: HUM00178622; NIA & Eisai Inc. / Protocol Number BAN2401-G000-303
The most recent Screening Test for drugs was performed at Michigan Medicine on December 05, 2023. The Drug Screen results from tests performed at PPD Global Central Labs, 2 Tesseneer Drive, Highland Heights, Kentucky 41076 reports that the results are Negative for Amphetamines, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines (antidepressant), Cannabinoids, Cocaine Metabolites, Opiates, Phencyclidine and Ethyl Alcohol.
Apart from my freedom from Chemical Substances, the fact of not experiencing stress during my employment at WFM can be substantiated by the number of ‘Paid Time Off’ (PTO) Hours that I have accumulated. I accumulated about 5,500 PTO Hours and the WFM paid its cash surrender value. In reality, I have not experienced any urge to pursue a habit for its recreational value as an escape from boredom or monotony relating to the workplace. I do not watch movies or visit places for personal amusement. I may often join other family members either in watching the TV or visiting places. If time permits, I listen to songs composed in the Indian languages to preserve my language skills.
All said and done, I am not suggesting that personal motivation as the most important factor to find happiness in employment. Happiness is like the Sunshine. To find happiness, Whole Dude needs an external source of Light that generates happiness. To write and state, “Whole Dude Loves Whole Foods”, Whole Dude needs to be in relationship with an external source of happiness. WFM states ‘Team Member Happiness’ as its Core Value, an Operating Principle to govern the Employer-Employee relationship at the Company. I am submitting that the WFM Core Value of Caring for Team Member Happiness is truly experienced by me. In conclusion, with a sense of great pleasure I claim Whole Foods as, “A Happy Place and Happier People.”
Whole Dude – Whole Huddle
Whole Dude – Whole Huddle: A daily huddle is a daily check-in for members of a team. It is a method to communicate and measure progress of a team’s work plan.
Excerpt: Whole Dude and Whole Foods: WholeDude could be used as a Marketing Formula to define the Whole Person who lives consuming Whole Foods.
What’s a daily huddle? The daily huddle meeting is a brief, 15-minute meeting where team members come together to share progress, work through quick tactical issues, and set next steps. It’s a daily meeting and normally follows a standard format each time, for consistency and rhythm.

Whole Foods – Whole Promise:
Bringing Your Whole Self
Whole Dude-Whole Time: The Concept of Whole Time Worker. Not Part-Time, Not Temporary, Not Seasonal, and Not Full-Time which limits the work schedule to 40 Hours per Week. “We’re growing something good and we want you to be part of it.

I received a letter from the Whole Foods Market inviting me to Whole Foods, Ann Arbor. The letter reads:
“We’re growing something good and we want you to be part of it. you’re ready to make a difference, bring your Whole Self to Whole Foods.”

The Whole Journey called Employment:
Whole Dude’s employment is described as a “JOURNEY”. The Journey to be Successful and Safe, must proceed on “TRACKS” that are firmly and properly laid on ground. The “TRACKS” of Life’s Journey could be named as “WHOLE SPIRITUALITY.”
Whole Dude’s employment is described as a “Journey.” Whole Dude often describes his Love of “Whole Food” and his employment has given the insight to know the true or real nature of “Whole Food.” Whole Dude has demonstrated the fact of his Love; the Love of “Whole Food” during a Life’s “Journey.” He has already rendered “Whole Service” with no reported unscheduled absence from work. In other words, Whole Dude says that the experience of this “Whole Journey” called employment is that of psychological satisfaction; mental contentment that establishes happiness in mind and joy in heart. To verify the accuracy of this statement, Whole Dude is disclosing the fact that he does not use alcohol, tobacco, or any other recreational substance to find happiness in his Life’s Journey. The reason for finding happiness and joy in living experience is because of Whole Dude’s respectful relationship, his partnership, his association, his bonding, and his connection with a nourishing substance that he calls “Whole Food.” His employment has given the insight to know the true or real nature of “Whole Food.” Whole Dude defines “Whole Food” as the nutritional substance that supports man’s physical, mental, social, moral, and spiritual well-being. These five components of well-being are important to have the experience of peace, harmony, and tranquility in human life. From the beginning of human history, the ideas about spiritualism, and spirituality included a serious concern to find peace, harmony, and tranquility in the living human experience. During the course of his employment, Whole Dude discovered that Food serves the function of a spiritual medium that fosters unity between man’s body, mind, and soul which generates the peace, harmony, and tranquility that man experiences in his living condition.
No man is truly capable of independent existence that excludes the social community and the physical environment in which he exists. Whole Dude is saying that he is supporting his biological existence because of an employment that provides a social community and a favorable environment which is keeping his Life’s Journey on sound tracks. The term “Tracks” is used to describe a pair of parallel steel rails on which freight cars, passenger cars, street cars, and other rolling stock are drawn by powered locomotives. During 1880s, the width of railroad tracks were standardized at 4 feet, 8 and half inches (1.44 m). The railroad tracks are laid on a firm, and well-prepared ground to ensure their stability and a durable metal like steel is used to support its sustained use. The “Journey” called Employment that proceeds on the right “Tracks” is a “Whole Journey” and Whole Dude names those “Tracks” as “Whole Spirituality.”
