When I travel for work, I often stop at Whole Foods to pick up prepared meals. I know that I will get a good lunch or dinner, and the price is comparable to most upscale fast food options. A few weeks ago I was really sick and came in to pick up a cold remedy, lunch, and orange juice. This Whole Foods is just not quite up to the national standard.
First, this Whole Foods is fairly small, but the parking situation is a disaster. There is not adequate parking, and the kind of people who shop at this particular Whole Foods are the worst people ever. People will try to run you over in the parking lot to get the last spot. It's actually pathetic.
The store is set-up a bit odd, and the employees aren't particularly friendly here. I felt like I was begging someone to find Sambucus, which just isn't fun when you don't feel well. However, the cashiers were up to par.
The biggest kick in the face was the prepared foods section. At 11:00 AM on a Thursday there was no prepared food set up. No soup, no entrees. Just some leftover Oatmeal that had hardened from breakfast and the name tags for the prepared food that would eventually come out. There are only two small serving stations as well, and a lot of my favorite options were missing, like the mac and cheese.
If you are just looking to do standard grocery shopping here, then this Whole Foods is just fine. The grocery selections were pretty standard, and the aisles are wide enough. This Whole Foods is a big step up from the gross Market District down the street, but the standard is pretty low here as well.
