This time it's South Beach. That's four STLs and over a dozen ASTLs fired, layed off, or forced to step down in less than a year in FL. What's up with that? These guys used to be able to get away with anything and keep their jobs.

You should see the fiasco it is turning into with regional trying to "coerce" these two stores into getting the "correct candidates"..it might turn into an STL Job fair next week...
Dont forget lil hitler's assistant,now a astl at south beach...she loves to play cop and watch security cameras for team members eating in coolers or not using cut gloves..her floor leadership is non existant..
Yes, WFM closed a successful little Wild Oats that people loved. But others saw opportunity...Now Melbourne has a Fresh Market, Publix "hybrid" stores (one in Viera is 80% natural and organic and it's always packed) and very soon, a Lucky's Natural/Organic Market. The sideshow continues because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing, the same way with the same people and expecting different results.
Lil Hitler!! lol .. that middle eastern Napoleon p.o.s!! he's real name is Nadine or some sh-- like that.. He's only looking out for himself and will stab you in the back without question...
In the paper in Fort Myers, it is announced Whole Foods is opening a store there. I think 365. Near Daniels Parkway.
Santiago,the former stl of the south beach store was too cheap with the store..how do you run a whole foods with no brooms for team members to adequately do their sweep and temp log sweeps..no tool kit for when a bakery case door falls off its hinges and stays off for months...and no gas grill to have any kind of event outside on a sunny day..one year for team member appreciation week he only gave us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...cheap...
Putting a WFM in Destin has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard come out of the FL corporate office, and that is saying alot as there has been no shortage of idiot moves from that crowd. Really? Destin? Nobody lives there! Who picks the locations in FL? It is too bad that the whole concept of 'accountability' is not used on the bigwigs at regional.
Exactly.they should have put a store up between palm beach and jacksonville..they sold the wild oats they owned in melbourne..idiots
Destin? What a joke. Gorgeous area but TOTALLY seasonal. Like Hilton Head -- another seasonal tourist destination where we just HAD to open and you can hear the crickets chirping 40 minutes away on I-95. They might as well hang a "closed for the season" sign for 6 months each year. So let's go into sleepy Destin and we have NO stores on the east coast between Palm Beach Gardens and Jacksonville. NOTHING. Treasure Coast Population: Close to 600,000. Space Coast Population: 551,000. Daytona-Ormond Population: 425,000. So let's ignore all of those shoppers and instead head over to freakin' DESTIN which has about 20,000 permanent residents?
Yeah florida region has some dead weight stores-tallahassee,jacksonville,coral springs,pompano,etc..i know this destin store is gonna be dead..pork rinds,grape soda and beach towels please..
"A graveyard would generate more cash" LOL
As the cuts continue, I wonder which regional good ol' boy will be quietly installed in that store who otherwise would be out of a job. They never announce those, although they sure are quick to change the job title in the email address book. Hmm. I wonder why?
Lil Hitler, that's cute, Nick is a nice guy when you get to know him. I used to LOL when I would see him try to crack a smile. But with Ginger, oh yes, what you said is a fact. She already owns a home in Destin. It's like the Pompano Store being built specifically because Juan Nunez lives nearby. That place has yet to hit decent sales numbers considering the investment in a new store of its size and neither will Destin. A graveyard would generate more cash.
Dont forget ginger getting her retirement stl position at destin fl....she did her time at regional and now they are gonna open a store on the redneck riviera just for her to ease off into the golden sunset...
That stl at south beach had no business being in charge of that store..he was global all star at one time for no reason other than lovation,location,location,and international tourism money..florida regio al office tends to pick people for stl based on favoritism or blind devotion to brown nosers(lil hitler at the boca store now)..oh and maybe some nepotism or clandestine nocturnal affairs...etc..
Looks like there is more dust at RCO than store level. Just saying!
Someone was given a broom and was told to start SWEEPING
Maybe the top leaders stopped working the French week schedule!
