Whole Foods Market

"I sprung for their famous Key Lime Pie only to discover the crust was soggy, ew. Had to make another trip to replace. There was one left. Double check your purchases before leaving. I called the bakery, they encouraged me to bring it back so the staff could look at it. The exchange was simple."

"Do yourself a favor and get to self checkout all of the time. If you can’t then choose another store. The cashier is super rude and throws an attitude. I am not going to blame her, wholefoods can’t train their employees. It’s been a few times this cashier behaves as if she is giving you charity. Straight Face. Snatches the basket. Assumed that use of amazons bar code is only for discounts. Though you should be knowing your customer can have their prime card linked and pay it thru. I’d have given a pass if it was once. As I said, if you can’t use the self checkout, Go to the Trader Joe’s that’s 5 mins away. If you’re nice and polite the staff reciprocates and share a joke or two even during their peak hours. You go Trader Joe’s!"

"Definitely bit pricier compared to other stores but the quality makes it up for the price we pay. Fruits and vegetables are so fresh. You can notice the difference the moment you enter the store. Amazon locker & returns are some add on convenience. Lot of health options in general."

"I observed that the prices of certain products was almost double than what I pay for in other grocery stores. So I did not buy anything. Why pay so much extra. However, it's a very well maintained supermarket with a variety of food items. It was not crowded at all during a weekend. Bakery products looked delicious. I liked the variety of alcohol and flowers they offer."
