Whole Foods Market

"I'm absolutely appalled and feel compelled to write this review after my recent experiences here, a place I used to frequent almost daily due to its convenience and offerings. However, those days are long gone, and I am taking my business elsewhere. For the past several visits, one particular security guard at this store has consistently and noticeably followed me around the aisles. This behavior is beyond disturbing; it's either creepily perverse or a baseless suspicion of me—a loyal neighborhood customer for 5+ years—being a potential shoplifter. As a regular patron, I am shocked and deeply offended by this unwarranted scrutiny. His behavior is also downright offensive. It's a complete invasion of privacy and shows a staggering lack of respect and decency, which is unacceptable and intolerable. It's astonishing and disheartening that this Whole Foods, where I once felt welcomed, now makes me feel targeted and uneasy. It's a shame that management allows such behavior to occur under its roof. You have not only lost a frequent customer but also tainted the once pleasant shopping experience with distrust and discomfort. I sincerely hope that this issue is addressed, as no customer should ever have to endure such an unwelcoming and unsettling environment."

"Totally disappointed with this location, ordered over $450 of worth of catered food, mostly wraps and salad. They place them mostly in a little tub or container. Then ask me to get a cart and they fill it up with those small containers from bottom to the top. Didn't bother to place them in boxes, I guess they expected me to unload it at a location shot individually. I have to ask a for boxes and was told that they don't have any in their department."

"Reducing my 4 star rating down to two stars as of November 14, 2023. The customer service is not what it used to be. There's a new store policy now to where you must buy something in order to be able to gain access to the restroom facilities. I find that grotesque and appalling. I prefer to wash my hands before I purchase and eat my food. I don't know about you, but I'm not going to buy my food and take it into the restroom with me to wash my hands. I'm also not going to leave my food sitting on the table for someone to steal while I go wash my hands. Unfortunately, like Starbucks, Whole Foods Market is targeting a particular group of people. In this case, the homeless. I can see where this is going and where it's going to end up. This isn't a good and decent practice in my opinion."

"Big, spacious, clean, fully stocked, it’s like a dream grocery store. You can sit inside or outside and eat your heart out! Reasonable prices for the right stuff."

"You should have more options for the poor. You're right next to a 99-cent store, for god's sake. $6.99 for a small soup? I forgot, only the rich get to eat healthily. I should know my place and my food selection. Thank you for reminding me, Whole Foods. I decided to eat for the week instead, and this was the best option for damn near the same price. Look how healthy it is. It's disheartening to see the rich getting richer while the poor face Cancer I'm left with eating a Slim Jim as my main source of protein. I'm aware of what it contains, I know of red goo and I know exactly how unhealthy the things I'm putting into my body have become. This is not acceptable to me. This part of my statement is directed at anyone who believes that a political party based solely on moral equivalency has achieved anything. "But what about Obama Care and the $220 cash aid you rely on?" You bring that up all the time. Well, I have to repay everything when it comes time to retire (they deduct it from your social security check, I read the fine print). I've also seen the same John Oliver special as you, and I am aware of what awaits me as I grow older. That's why eating healthy is so important to me. Thanks for providing that option. ( Sarcasm ) Whole Foods, you have the same rights as me, but I believe I've invested more of my income in helping my fellow human beings than you ever will. In comparison to the amount of money I have spent, the contributions I have made to benefit fellow human beings and support infrastructure, far exceed what a corporation like yours has ever invested. Offering healthy food choices should be available and affordable for all Americans! "220" In this realm of biased promises, where dreams fall to despair, I pen verse upon a bitter truth, a burden hard to bear. A lament for those surviving on a mere 220 a month, Faces unseen, stories untold, their struggles swept asunder. In this land where voices rally, fueled by power and might, I seek solace for the helpless, lost in shadows of the night. For poverty knows no party, no allegiance, nor prestige, But festers like an open wound, on hope's frail trapeze. With every passing moment, their steps trod on broken glass, Lost amid the vast divide, they yearn for change, alas! But the deafening silence echoes, no, they won't be heard, Their pleas fade into obscurity, like a forgotten word. Oh, the haunting reality, where they stretch each penny thin, Necessities become luxuries, as needs merge with their skin. An empty stomach, threadbare clothes, the dire struggles they face, Yet politicians turn a blind eye, leaving them in disgrace. No political party extends a hand to lift their plight, No hand reaches to grasp their souls, no flicker of respite. They are left to drown in desperation's merciless sea, For the scales of justice tip not towards the likes of thee. Oh, what cruel fate awaits these souls confined to poverty's grip, Eternal spectators on society's sinking ship? Their dreams deferred, aspirations crushed, their spirits worn and frayed, In this callous world, their pleas for help forever betrayed. But let us not forget, my friend, that power lies within our voice, A collective outcry of compassion, a nation making a choice. For change is not birthed solely by a select few, But by the hearts awakened, aware, by me and you. So let our words ignite a spark, a wildfire of empathy, Not only within our souls but in each lawmaker's decree. May they remember their purpose, to represent all with care, And address the plight of those who live off just 220 each month's share. Let our voices resound, demanding justice, fair and true, For in unity, the powerless shall rise, and dreams shall spring anew. And in this fight for equity, though it may be hard and slow, We'll strive to mend this broken world, one verse, one soul, one vow. By The New Aged Diogenes ( After Rehab )"
