    Is the food usually whole and all put together or is it in pieces?

    Do you personally do all your grocery shopping at Whole Foods? Is there some kind of employee discount? Or do you shop at other places like Trader Joes, Key Foods etc

    I remember when Whole Foods employees were engaged and into the mission. They were knowledgeable and eager to answer questions from people new to the experience. Nowadays they don’t seem to interact with customers much, if at all, and from what I’ve observed, they mostly congregate together and avoid customer interaction. Have you experienced the same?

    If you’ve worked in another grocery store or restaurant, would you say Whole foods is cleaner than other places you’ve worked, less clean, or basically the same

    Do shop lifters get tracked? I swear I see the same person shop lifting when I’m there but no one seems to gaf.

    Why are the brown butter chocolate chip cookies so good? What is the trick? And why do the small ones taste better than the big ones? AND will they ever make the self-serve fancy cookie station big again??

    Hey – the real sourdough bread (non yeast ones) – how genuine are they- do you exactly use what you mention? I am asking because they are really good.

    The Amazon buyout fucked it up – became corporate. I worked from 2018 and quit end of 2020. COVID sucked so much. Do you like it now?

    What happens to the food at the hot food bar that’s leftover at the end of the day?
