Whole Foods Market Chicago,IL Office — Local services in Chicago

I think that Whole Foods has a growth opportunity to lead the industry in plastic packaging reduction, by giving customers the option of choosing more eco friendly options.

Even if it did not benefit the planet, giving plastic free options would increase revenue for Whole Foods, based on my experiences in the last month, since I have committed to drastically cutting my plastic usage.

I have gone from buying groceries every 7-10 days to buying groceries every 1-2 days. I am eating produce, bulk items, eggs, fresh bread that I have sliced for me, fresh meat and fish. I am refusing to buy fresh produce that is wrapped in plastic.

I would love to see WF do the following:

1-switch to bread bags that don't have the little plastic window, for bagettes and loaves that are sliced at the bakery 2-offer lettuce, berries, cauliflower and other produce in plastic free packaging, 3- offer chips and tortilla chips made in store and packaged in windowless bags. You used to do this! 4-offer brands of spaghetti noodles that don't have the little plastic windows in them 5- offer your bouquets of fresh flowers and greenery plastic free--other grocery stores make the plastic sleeve an option, and the only option whole foods offers is the choice of ditching the second plastic sleeve! 6-team up with Vital Proteins (they are local!) to offer collagen supplements in bulk bins. 7- offer bamboo toothbrushes and silk dental floss It's worth 2 more stars at...

Holy, moly, has WF gone downhill. I'm so sorry Amazon acquired you. Your hot bar has such unhealthy choices now and the few healthy ones taste terrible. I miss the days of onsite chefs and wonderful flavors. The hot bar also is no longer clean and organized looking. And your staff, though still wonderful over all, seem demoralized. The stores, also, are dingier and messier than they used to be.

The hot bar was my biggest draw to your location as most of the brands you carry can be purchased elsewhere.

The Amazonification of Whole Foods has not been an improvement!

P.S. I tried calling your office to complain but there seemed to be a bit of an issue with your voice...

WHOLE FOODS, was UNIQUE and COMPASSIONATE...I Am “still” DISAPPOINTED by the whole AMAZON and Whole Foods, experience...I have seen the CUSTOMER SERVICE that Whole Foods “once UPHELD and STAYED TRUE TO,” since 1980...BECOME “a DISTANT MEMORY.” It makes me SAD...The team members “have BECOME” DISMISSIVE and (all together)sometimes RUDE...They WILL “not” ask you IF YOU NEED HELP and EXPLAIN the PRODUCTS to you(if you need assistance)...Like they did BEFORE...I’m SAD and DISAPPOINTED. Whole Foods, IS starting to become like, “every OTHER store chain, in the world!”.... WHOLE FOODS was UNIQUE and...
