| - Besides everything that I have criticized so far, now I have realized that they not only sell expired food but partly do it on purpose. Two weeks ago, I have told one employee about cheese that had expired about two weeks before. About one week ago, I found they did not only not remove it, they lowered the price instead. And by now, it's nearing the one month mark. I wonder how long those things will be in there.
So - expiry date is something one should pay really close attention to here.
People there are also very ignorant about the products they sell but pretend otherwise. For instance, I asked about a product that they have sold ever since I first shopped there over a year ago - up until about 1-2 months ago. When asking what's going on, an employee said that it's not being produced any more. I guess that's why the company still sells it on their website and they have it at Wholefoods...
And the other day, I witnessed a conversation another customer had with the owner of the store about a product about which he at first said "Oh, they don't deliver to Canada" - but they HAD other products of the same company right there! And when he saw that, he still wouldn't quit the bullshitting and argued in a very odd way about why he doesn't carry that one particular product.
By now, I really don't know what people are raving about. Yes, I don't know of another organic store with such reasonable prices but if Wholefoods wasn't so far from the nearest TTC stop (only been there once because of that), I would definitely see whether they take better care of their products and customers, prices be damned!
