What's funny to me is that guests LOVED me. They waited for my availability even if it meant letting other guest go ahead, asked which days I was off to ensue that I would be the one to help them. Some would only allow me to help them. I would spend aprox. $10+ daily and more on weekends for my groceries. Guess who's not spending another dime?

My money won't go to WFM.I no longer shop there and I do not miss shopping there. I just do not get attached to a company...I really could not work in such a stressful environment....
Sounds like me.
@Specialist - good luck, they do not deserve you
I didn't manage. I went from 40k a year prior to WF to $11/hr at Whole Foods Cherry Creek working 10pm-6:30am over-night shifts with no benefits because they said if I wanted to work there I had to start at the bottom and learn the culture. I did learn the culture and I learned to fear it. I believed that if I worked hard enough I could make an impact and build a career. Unfortunately I was wrong but I have come out much stronger.
Good luck everyone!!
Dude, on 14/hr - I do not know how you managed it. The overall comp is a joke, the only way to make a subsistence wage is to move into management. Try putting a kid or two through school on 14/hr, or 24/hr, even if two spouse work, it's almost impossible
We lived and breathed Whole Foods. We DID is the key word. Most of my secret shops were 100% and I received compliments every day. I truley value the customer and I enjoyed instilling that same passion in them in that I have for quality products. It is a very rare occurance that a customer would leave our store unhappy. 6.5 years of great service with not one write-up yeilded me a whopping $14hr. Where are all these 'over-paid' employees that I hear everyone talking about?
Good luck on your future endeavors!!
