She never spoke to me although I spoke to her, and she had her nose in the air the whole time. I told her I would need bags. No response. I thought maybe she just didn't speak English so I asked if she understood . I got an "m-hmm" So she's just rude. Then she just let all the stuff go to the end and made no move to bag it. I bag it if I have my own bag, but it is actually the cashier's job. Then a bagger came by and she spoke (!) to him and said I needed bags. I thanked him and left without my receipt because I didn't want to deal with her rudeness. Maybe she was mad because I interupted her gossip session with her friend when I came to her register. Not that she didn't take her time finishing up with her. Sometimes they hire some real winners. I suppose they can't be too picky. But since Miss Desiree is clearly too special for this job, perhaps they should let her go find another one that she would be more suited to. How about snooty retail person?

Whole Foods in the Back Bay area of Boston is a compact outpost of the high end grocery chain,…read morecovering the essentials without the space of a suburban store. We walked into a produce section that is well stocked and an organic selection consistent with what the brand delivers. The hot bar is expanded and makes the store a practical option for a ready made lunch or dinner without much planning required. Pricing is a consistent downside that makes this not our first choice. Individual items across the store run significantly higher than what we would pay at a conventional grocery chain, and the urban location pricing adds another layer on top of the standard Whole Foods premium. For staple items and everyday groceries, the cost adds up quickly enough that we decide to buy from here only if we really need to. For a quick prepared meal or a specific organic item in the Back Bay area, it serves its purpose, but for regular grocery shopping we look elsewhere.

Last night my wife and I were in the Beverly MA store just before closing time. Probably 15 minutes…read morebefore. We had gotten a whole pizza and we're going to take it home and heat it up. It was obviously sitting there for a while but we didn't mind. When we went to pay there was no sticker on it from the pizza section because nobody was there to give us one. At checkout there was no option for a whole pizza so we had someone come over to help us. The associate couldn't figure it out so she went and got a manager. The manager came back and said we'd have to pay the per slice price of $4. That would have been $32 for a pizza that was sitting there for quite a while. Not to mention that the whole pizza price on the sign at the pizza station in the store was $15. When I brought this to the manager's attention he couldn't have cared less. He said if you want it it's $32. I told him that it was $15 on their sign and it was probably two hours old so I gave it back to him. Rather than be reasonable and just charge us the $15 we would have paid, he chose to take it back and exhibit some of the worst customer service we had experienced in quite a while. We weren't looking for any special treatment or discounts. We just wanted to pay the advertised price for a whole pizza. Not the per slice price that was double the whole pizza price. Just wanted to bring this lapse of customer service judgement to others attention.

Whole Foods in South End/Ink Block is probably one of my favorite locations to go to!…read moreI love that they have a (free) LARGE parking lot. This is unlike the one on Cambridge St by MGH, as that one is a paid parking lot. Now, the reason why I love this location so much is simply because it is humongous! Seriously. I could spend hours at this Whole Foods and not get tired at all. Bakery section, deli, hot foods, liquor... amazing. Also, very organized in here and never had a bad experience shopping here. Produce is always very fresh and remember to always check what deals they're having. Pricier market but they do have sales. Love, love, LOVE the cakes! Especially the berry chantilly! Their cakes are not too sweet and very moist.

Their vegan fast food station leaves me with stomach aches, but other than that it's decent. Do not get the falafel at the hot bar. It's dry and hard as a rock, it looks like it hasn't been cooked through. Sushi is actually very expensive at 9 or 10$ for the vegetable rolls. Why wouldn't I go to an actual restaurant and get it there? I wonder. I wish this Whole Foods had good fresh pizza like the one in Beverly. Oh wait. That one is sinking into the ground because they built it on top of a marsh....

I won't even knock the presence of a few Brooklyn bastards and west coast invaders, simply because they're great specialty beers. Seriously, scout the sour and smoked varieties. On check out, the staffer outed themselves as a brew fan by peeling off a list of related product, perhaps unknown to we, the customers, should we want to run up the total a tad more. Next time, Albert's guy, next time.

Can't fault them for that. The staff is less than friendly - and I have been going there for years and am generally friendly. The prices are pretty high and it makes me cringe when I see the elderly from the two local high-rises buying staple items because the walk to Shaws is a bit too far. Most alarming to me, however, is the opinions of the other shop owners in the area including the world's nicest laundromat elderly owner. It's a bad sign when the local deli owner refuses to even buy milk for coffee there, but goes to the liquor store instead.
