Yuppies? Seriously?
OP must be an English-language learner.
+1. Or someone whose hey day was in the 80s and now is making fun of millennials.

I would argue OP and the Whole Foods/Apple PP are still "preppy" but in an almost self-parodying and try-hard kind of way way.
How is WF preppy?
Have you been to any in DC? They're like a country club for millennials.
The WF in DC are dirty and crowded!

This whole thread seems to be written by exuberant observers. Like a bad Tom Wolfe novel of social observation that is just off. Like that Charlotte whoever novel that he wrote.

No, I don’t think you’re a yuppie if you spend 4 dollars on shit coffee everyday.

Wouldn't call WF preppy. If you know Baltimore, Eddie's and Grauls are preppy. Grauls Ruxton especially, it's stepping back to 1985 in there. DC doesn't have an equivalent.
No one in Baltimore is preppy. People in New England and sometimes NYC can be preppy. No one in Baltimore ... lol.

Yuppie? My parents (baby boomers born in the 50s) were yuppies back in the day.

Hint, darling: it’s about having the money to spend on things like expensive lattes. No one cares that you don’t like Starbucks; it doesn’t make you special or superior.

Preppy is fine, but i get judgememtal about Vineyard Vimes and Yeti Coolers.
Yetis are awesome! And, redneck fisherman who drive lifted trucks have yetis.
Vineyard Vines is legit preppy. Their t-shirts are super soft and wash well. Their iron-free button downs are convenient. And, their ties are cute and fun. Judge away!
