| - I had a new experience with this Whole Foods last week.... so, I was shopping at Fry's and noticed that several things on my list were actually CHEAPER at Whole Foods - specifically, basmati rice, quinoa, and tofu. I definitely wasn't expecting that...
Anyhow, the thing I like about the Chandler Whole Foods is that its vibe is waaayy more low-key than other -snooty-nose-in-the-air Whole Foods.
What do I mean? Well, the PV and the Tempe locations always have this snobby vibe to them (The PV one because everyone is rich and snooty, and the Tempe one because the patchouli-smelling hippie workers act like they're better than me just because they have dreds).
The Chandler location, however, is just... there. And the staff is really friendly.
Basically, it has excellent produce, bulk goods and a nice wine selection. They even have a little area where you can buy glasses or wine, or wine flights, of the selections they sell. That's pretty cool. I've never tasted all the fresh food they sell, like the Japanese station or the calzones, etc. But it looks good.
One star off, however, for the salad bar. Two times, I've found wilted lettuce, wrinkly tomatoes and SOGGY ONIONS for sale there. Ick. I've stopped buying the salads there, now, and only do that if I'm at the Whole Foods on Rural and Baseline, which has a better salad selection.
