are the shelves as empty as they portray them to be or is this a spin the media is using?

Seems that Amazon Whole Foods no longer truly cares about the number of visitors each day stealing from us but the chance that a Team Member may. So...how bad is the external theft in your store? Ours is getting totally out of hand.

People are starting to complain about empty shelves. https://www.businessinsider.com/the-drive-thru-whole-foods-shortages-davos-and-delivery-drama-2020-1 Why are the signs in the photo of the store outdated? Is this an old press pic? There are... — read more

I left a couple years ago, just as OTS was rolling out. Has it worked? Has it gotten better? Are there still multiple clipboards for silly stuff that’s not helpful to anyone in the real world?

Omg got my insurance card today. It is my understanding the Dr's I go go to for coverage are very little itec and seem like a joke. Help me in this nightmare! Please no snotty remarks.

General consensus about Whole Foods Market...doesn’t look good. This store will be gone in five years ☹️

I went to a store that had a porter. We have a demo specialist which I've been told is a thing of the past in other regions. Another had a concierge. These don't exist in our region. What other weird jobs are out there.

During open enrollment they said tms are suppose to get their new insurance cards this month. Does anyone know when? Will tms get them in the mail or at work? My leadership couldn't or wouldn't answer.

In my produce dept. at least a full uboat.

I worked at the holiday table today. I was embarrassed to give half of that food to customers. Some of it looked like cheap slop. You could see the disappointment in their faces after waiting for 20 minutes for their food to arrive.
