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.
You clearly are uncivilized. My Washington tavern was in the original preppy handbook ffs.
Stop trying to make Baltimore preppy happen. It isn’t going to happen. Preppy people are WASPs. WASPs don’t live in Baltimore.

Does anyone else feel like this is some kind of spam bot post trying to find out what “yuppies” like in order to target posts and ads at them?

Oh yeah, I’m so uncivilized, having grown up in Westchester and Manhattan and having gone to a NE boarding school.

I don’t know where to start. Am I madder at the term yuppies being used in the year 2020 or that someone thinks a 2020 WF is where they would shop?

That pretty much nails it. More twee habits would peg them as pampered millennials, like bouqs delivery service. The th8ng they could add is peloton.

you guys sounds pretty basic
You’re adding random numbers into your words and you’re making fun of me? What the hell is “bouqs”?

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.
Ooh you read Tom Wolfe. You must be so fking SPECIAL.

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