Whole Foods Market

Couldn’t spend 5 mins in this store before being followed. Once I complained one of the security guards/employees began to give his unsolicited input and the verbally assaulted me, saying "I need a man to calm me down" . This is the type of employees this store hires for customer service positions. He worried about me when he should be worried about working to afford a haircut.

Retail Whole Foods where I return my Amazon packages. Never shopped here as the prices are higher than most supermarkets and local shops.

I stopped into Whole Foods looking for something healthy to eat they have such a wide selection of fresh and healthy options. At first, I was leaning toward a salad, but then I saw the pizza and decided to give it a try since I love pizza, and honestly in New York you can’t really go wrong with it. I grabbed a slice and it was pretty good cheesy, flavorful, and satisfying. It’s not your typical greasy slice; it had a fresher taste, and I liked the balance of toppings. Definitely a decent option when you’re hungry and want something quick. What’s also nice is that Whole Foods has seating upstairs, so you can enjoy your food right there after shopping. Overall, I’d recommend trying their pizza. You can buy it by the slice or get a whole pie, and for a grocery store, it’s surprisingly solid.

This Wholefoods should mention when greeting in customers, that they provide exceptional service to white people only. If you read all the 5 star ratings for this specific location, you'll notice those reviews have been written by caucasians. Don't dare walk in here and be brown or black because you will be racially profiled and followed around the store by the army of security guards (who are also men of color) despite buying items and have never stolen from the store before. They will watch your every move, including when you're heading upstairs with your food that you bought from the store to eat at the cafe. WholeFoods, do better. Because you're actually affecting your business by excluding people and preventing them from feeling welcomed and safe as they shop for their groceries. Catering to only a selected group based on their class, or race doesn't bring you more customers. It just puts your business in jeopardy of losing sales.

Very spacious and clean store with a wide variety of fresh food and baked goods. I highly recommend the sushi rolls,they’re always fresh and really tasty. In the sushi section, you can grab chopsticks and extra soy sauce, so don’t forget to take them before you leave. You can enjoy your food upstairs in their dining area, where there’s a nice view from the window. It’s also a great option if you want to take your food to go. Friendly staff and a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere.

Whole Foods avoids restocking the water in the morning so they don't have to do it more than once a day. I assume this is because Amazon deliveries take priority and they receive many orders before 10 a.m., which may include water, but that's not a good excuse. I don't know if it's due to employee laziness or if Whole Foods is cutting corners and not ordering enough water for everyone. In any case, there's no excuse for being stingy if it negatively impacts our shopping experience; and it did mine. I had to go back to the store to see if they had restocked the water, and luckily I found some gallons after 12 p.m. Is this their way of forcing people to shop online? I don't know, but they should reconsider their strategy. This isn't the neighborhood where they can afford to be stingy if they want their business to thrive. Today it's water, tomorrow it will be bread and meat. Review your procedures or supervise your employees, who have a reputation for being lazy. On my first visit, when I asked an employee about the water, he had no idea if they were going to restock it and claimed not to have seen any in the back. 1 star.

I shop here for the vegan and organic options that are hard to find elsewhere. This is my neighborhood Whole Foods and it’s really disappointing to see how little they care about keeping the water fountains and bathrooms maintained and usable. Especially with the need for water this time of year. They just got a new fountain with a water bottle filler, but within the first couple days the filter status had a red light. They fixed that after about a week. But now, for several weeks, the water bottle filler has only been working very very slowly. It takes about 5-10x longer to fill a bottle than normal depending on the size, and I always feel rude because there’s always someone behind me waiting to fill theirs. Oh and the amount of bottles it says has been saved is going up normally so it thinks it’s dispensing more water than it is. The last time I used it it never stopped when I took the bottle away. The part where you sip from stopped working at all a couple weeks ago. The water coming out has no pressure so it just goes down.
