Women half-naked in pseudo workout gear shopping at Whole Foods?

There wasn’t anybody but some young married screaming with her children about some candy they didn’t get by the door of a powder-blue Falcon station wagon. Looking back in the big windows, over the bags of peat moss and aluminum lawn furniture stacked on the pavement, I could see Lengel in my place in the slot, checking the sheep through. His face was dark gray and his back stiff, as if he’d just had an injection of iron, and my stomach kind of fell as I felt how hard the world was going to be to me hereafter.

I am an AP teacher, teach this story every year, and was thinking about it the whole time I read this thread.

In my case, I’m an early 30s lawyer who works mostly remotely. I put on my running clothes, typically leggings and a longline sports bra, when I wake up on WFH days. I frequently work late and on weekends so I feel zero guilt popping out for a walk or a run during the day if there’s a break in my schedule. And then if I’m out anyway then I typically will stop by Whole Foods or another grocery store on my way home. I live in NYC and typically shop for 1-2 days of groceries at a time. Happy to answer any other questions!

Here’s a question:

Why do you feel entitled to drag your sweaty, smelly, half clothed body into a place of business where people are trying to buy FOOD? Do you really not understand how disgusting that is?

If you’re going for a walk, just take a shirt with you to throw on when you go into a store. So easy even a lawyer can do it! If you’re going for a run, don’t go into a store immediately afterward. Make time to go home and take a shower first, you filthy animal.

I feel just as entitled as anyone else who is buying groceries. Why would I go work out near a store, then go home to shower, then go right back to shop? What a waste of gas and time.
Cope harder.

I thought you were out for a run or a walk and it was just *so* convenient to quickly pop into the store!

So is the grocery store walking distance or isn’t it?

(But seriously, thanks for telling on yourself- we all know you’re not working out. You’re just going to grocery store in your bra because you are desperate for attention. Not sure if that’s more or less pathetic than a 30-something woman using the phrase “cope harder”.)

I’m the original PP who stops by WF after my walks/runs. The poster who responded above is a different person, who clearly had more to say.

My response to your weird tirade was just no, I’m not planning to stop doing this, and you can be mad at me for it if you feel like it. I don’t care. Just offering an explanation to OP since she’s wondering who is doing this!

You originally stated:
“ Happy to answer any other questions!”

But then failed to answer my very simple question. I asked “why do you feel entitled…?” and you answered “no…” (“Yes” and “no” are non-sensical answers to a “why” question, FYI.)

Did you get your law degree at Costco?

I’ll clarify the offer and say I’m willing to answer questions relevant to the original question asked, which relates to who is wearing athleisure to WF in the middle of the day and why.

But I’m sorry for whatever is going on in your life that you keep jabbing at a stranger on the DCUM beauty forum for wearing workout clothes to Whole Foods. I wish you peace!

I would love this if only the women were attractive. Usually they are hideous. It's like seeing men wearing speedos at the beach. No one wants to see that. Cover it up.

Haha, so you can’t answer the question or you’re just embarrassed to admit you crave attention. Don’t worry, we all knew.

WF has always been a meet up place especially in an area with younger customers. You won’t find the same people at Walmart.

This is the exact type of woman that shows up half naked at Whole Foods and then complains that people are looking at her and calls them creeps.

Can you send some of these scantily clad women to the WF in Bethesda please? All we get is senior citizens arguing with the fishmonger because he did not select their desired piece of salmon when preparing their order.

My DD (age 19) and her friends (all of whom are college students) really like to dress in a way that OP describes.

I think it's very unfortunate because it looks a bit desperate to me. I think that women look prettier when dressed in a classy way that is feminine, and not trying to shock or get attention.

But it's not worth mentioning anything to this age group. At least for my DD, she would not be open to any constructive criticism about clothing.

This generation (or at least my DD) strike me as pretty immature. If someone is even 10 years older, they dismiss them as a joke with outdated attitudes and knowing nothing. (When I was 19, I don't recall being quite so hostile to people that were older than I was.)

Gross. Will try not to accidentally see you.

Gas!? I was with you until you mentioned gas. Are you sure you live in NYC?

My DD is your DD's age, she will not walk into a public grocery store or any store for that matter in a jog bra. She has been raised to know that we consider that to be inappropriate behavior and she always has a light jacket to throw on after a workout when she stops off at coffee shops or whatever. I have never once seen a picture of my DD with her group of friends in their jog bras. Your DD and her friends are childish, that's on you.

This is so true and unfortunate at the same time. I'm sure she doesn't mind being stared at as long as she is receiving money for the clicks. That used to be called something, but all morals and values are out the window these days when it comes to making money. She looks like a plastic surger/injectible nightmare btw.
