| - So three half filled bags and $100 later....
I came here the night of the grand opening and it was exactly what I expected. Chaotic. I almost got run over twice in the parking lot!
No. I don't mean that it was chaotic in a negative way. There was just A LOT of people there. Inside and out.
What I didn't expect was this:
I came at the end of the day and the store had of course been busy from the moment they opened, yet the store was spotless. It was perfectly clean, no messes, spills, things out of place. It was perfect.
The staff who I'm sure had all been rigorously worked from the time they clocked in were warm, friendly, smiling, eager to help, and surprisingly, for the first day, knowledgeable about the products and where they were located in the store.
Now I do expect a lot from Whole Foods, but I also expected that for the first day at a brand new location that I would need to be a bit more lenient in my expectations. There was really no need to though.
The staff all seemed like seasoned pros and it was much appreciated.
I can't wait to go back, but will do so in a few weeks when it has calmed down and I don't have to worry about some yoga loving mom mowing me down in the parking lot on her way to grab some quinoa and kombucha for lunch. Namaste.
