But I also feel that at this point in the game, it's not like anyone trying to steal ideas or secrets hasn't already done so. I agree that they can do whatever they please.

The store employee who "yelled" at your friend may not have made the best choice in how to handle the situation. That, however, is a problem for Whole Foods management to address in their employee training. As a blogger, your friend is a journalist, and should expect that subjects of her work will not always be willing to be a part of the story. That is the right of those she writes about. Accept it and move on. Whole Foods is entirely within their rights to not allow photographs to be taken in their stores without prior consent.
