365
How's 365 going? Haven't heard much from that spin-off in the media, I'm assuming it's already a dead concept? Lake Oswego and Bellevue can't possibly be making any money...
Who else is apathetic towards whole kids and whole planet?
I’m a store support tl who loathes these donation drives. I hate forcing my team to ask EGET. I don’t look forward to twisting my STLs arm to let us buy some incentives to keep them going. Trying to come up with events is a joke considering nobody in... — read more
Prime only deals
Whose bright idea was it to make the last 25% off supplement sale Prime only? Any Whole Body team member could have told you that was going to be a complete failure and it was. Instead of learning from that, let's just make the upcoming body care... — read more
SOP Program
Anyone has more info on this? On Whole Foods SOP Program?
charcuterie
Hey marketing team. Why can't you just say all deli meats & cheeses on sale, pre-packaged or sliced to order. I saw an add "All charcuterie on sale" which means nothing to the average consumer that you are supposedly trying to appeal to. Who even... — read more

It's real bad at the top
TL in grocery here. I just get glimpses of the people pulling the strings at the top and meet regional people briefly. The handful of meetings and conference calls about OTS I've been on are mind boggling. Everyone at regional says things like "OTS... — read more

Weights and Measures
Whole Foods still knowingly ripping off customers? My regional leadership knew all about it but didn’t care until it hit the fan. You have a similar situation? Call your local weights and measures bureau and let them investigate. Stop allowing wfm to... — read more
Man OTS is awesome!!
Who else thinks so?
These articles are pathetic
Check out this article trying to bring back the idea that Whole Foods is passionate about Whole Foods. Do you know what Whole Foods is passionate about? OTS! Check out that photo in the article! FAIL. Modern OTS Produce TL: -The carrots and... — read more
Amazon

Are signs being hung in your store?
We have boxes that sit unopened, or opened after sales expire. Marketing materials are piling up without being put up. Who is in charge of the pre-printed signs now?
Buyers going away end of August?
Anyone here about this? Heard that we’re about one year into the Bezos reign. Goodbye non essential jobs.
Rehire of SGA
Is it true? MW call next Thursday.
Is the stress of being an ATL really worth it?
I'm beginning to question my decision on becoming an ATL. I really enjoyed my job when I was a buyer and now know why I hesitated to move up in the first place. Instead of worrying about the job I did personally as I buyer, now I have to babysit and... — read more
Whole Foods Market caught violating Federal Labor laws

UK Region, what the hell?
What the hell is going on in the UK region? Looks like a sh-- show happening across the pond.
Does your store care about theft?
What is the WFM policy on shoplifters? Our STL does not care whatsoever that customers are constantly ripping the store off, especially in Whole Body. WB makes the store a ton of money, but there are also huge losses from theft. I think they should... — read more
Ruder customers
Is it just me or have the customers become ruder in the past several months (mainly, since Prime Savings became a thing?) I mean, we've had bad situations before, but never in the number and intensity as we've been having lately. And over such... — read more

A frisbee
Seriously!?!?
How is Whole Foods now that Amazon is involved?
I'm curious but it used to seem very much like a family when I went in there years ago. Did the Trump corporate greed model make it worse like other places?
Whose going first????
Whole body, bakery, seafood, meat, PFDS? None of these teams are important in the bigger picture of running a grocery store and making profit and I mean profit not just money for the Overloads and BezoPrime.
Just jump already.
I came upon this sight by accident and I’m like pass me the non gmo popcorn and ghee. Why do you work here. All of you sound miserable. I bet your a barrel of laughs at a dinner party

MARKETING PEEPS
Just wondering how those laid off marketing and sign artists are doing? Anyone out there?
Time to Unionize
Never in a million years would I have thought Whole Foods team members needed to be in a union. Trust, open doors, collaboration, shared fate, core values, we didn't need a union. Guess what folks? It's time. Time to unionize.
