Yep, cheap and good.Cheap. Fast. Good.
And now we know which two you choose.
Chinatown has the most varied selection, with lots of Asian greens and tropical fruits for obvious reasons, but you have to fight the crowds and look through the stuff to get the freshest items.
Whole Foods takes a different approach. They keep everything meticulously organized and throw away anything right away that the least bit of blemish on it. So, probably anything you pick up is fresh. However they generally have a somewhat limited selection compared to what you can find in Chinatown, but there are no crowds to fight.
The fresh produce that Whole Foods has that Chinatown doesn't is specialty stuff like heirloom tomatoes, for example. However, I personally am not often willing to spend $5 on a single heirloom tomato. I trust most people in this thread, Wal-Mart patrons or not, feel the same way.
Overall Whole Foods fits into the Good and Fast category.
