Whole Foods still knowingly ripping off customers? My regional leadership knew all about it but didn’t care until it hit the fan. You have a similar situation? Call your local weights and measures bureau and let them investigate. Stop allowing wfm to... — read more

Are signs being hung in your store?
We have boxes that sit unopened, or opened after sales expire. Marketing materials are piling up without being put up. Who is in charge of the pre-printed signs now?
Buyers going away end of August?

Is the stress of being an ATL really worth it?
I'm beginning to question my decision on becoming an ATL. I really enjoyed my job when I was a buyer and now know why I hesitated to move up in the first place. Instead of worrying about the job I did personally as I buyer, now I have to babysit and... — read more

Does your store care about theft?
What is the WFM policy on shoplifters? Our STL does not care whatsoever that customers are constantly ripping the store off, especially in Whole Body. WB makes the store a ton of money, but there are also huge losses from theft. I think they should... — read more
Ruder customers
Is it just me or have the customers become ruder in the past several months (mainly, since Prime Savings became a thing?) I mean, we've had bad situations before, but never in the number and intensity as we've been having lately. And over such... — read more

A frisbee
Seriously!?!?
How is Whole Foods now that Amazon is involved?
I'm curious but it used to seem very much like a family when I went in there years ago. Did the Trump corporate greed model make it worse like other places?
Whose going first????
Whole body, bakery, seafood, meat, PFDS? None of these teams are important in the bigger picture of running a grocery store and making profit and I mean profit not just money for the Overloads and BezoPrime.
Just jump already.
I came upon this sight by accident and I’m like pass me the non gmo popcorn and ghee. Why do you work here. All of you sound miserable. I bet your a barrel of laughs at a dinner party

Time to Unionize
Never in a million years would I have thought Whole Foods team members needed to be in a union. Trust, open doors, collaboration, shared fate, core values, we didn't need a union. Guess what folks? It's time. Time to unionize.
