Whole Foods Market

I shop at Whole Paycheck when I want to escape the crowds of the supermarkets. I anticipate a less crowded environment and a higher quality of goods? As I arrived tonight it was just as I anticipated, the crowds were nonexistent for a Friday afternoon :) I wondered over to the ice cream and found exactly what I wanted for dessert tonight:) I returned home and put the ice cream in the freezer without my wife knowing of my surprise little treat:) After dinner had settled I told my wife of a surprise in the freezer:) She grabbed the ice cream scooper and opened the package to serve us:( Apparently some else had the privilege of enjoying this container of ice cream before us, but they did leave us a full three quarters of the pint:) Now, in the grand scale of things that can go wrong, this was a nothing burger! Saying that, In my 62 years on this planet there's always a first time for anything. I Did take the ice cream back and the manager was friendly.

Needs met - Whole Foods has been a godsend for me personally, although sometimes pricy, I've still been able to find exactly what I'm looking for and even sometimes at a better price than anywhere else. Whole foods is store that best caters to my dietary restrictions and nutrition mindset, with both the widest selection of vegan protein powders I've seen and produce at amazing prices. You can also find some pretty interesting and exciting products here as well, like tea brewed like a craft beer. All in all, I highly recommend Whole Foods if you've got the budget and have specific dietary needs.

I am under the distinct impression the managers here, hate customers. The food on the hot bar is rarely fresh, the portions at the stations are minimal, and the customer is constantly bombarded with the "no tipping" messages around the food counters - I'd much rather be given fresh food, decent portions and an opportunity to tip. I've gotten sick every time I've eaten from their deli, sliced turkey, premise salads, doesn't matter. I don't know what's happening in the back but it's not good. This location has gone downhill quickly. They sell foods past their sell by dates and rotting. They're out of items for weeks at a time. The pizza here is the best pizza in town and that's rather frightening given the items on their shelves.
