However, on a recent visit a male staff from Produce repeatedly reached over me and bumped into my scooter as he fawned over an ablebodied customer in line. He acted as if I were an object. No "Excuse me," nothing. When I spoke up, he mansplained how he has the right to do this and, "I'm sorry YOU feel THAT way." I told him he was physically hurting me, besides being rude. He continued to abuse me. The Human Rights Tribunal confirmed I have grounds for a disability discrimination case. An assistive device is legally part of a disabled person's body. What this employee did was assault. As well, the payment terminals have been moved so they are too high for disabled people to reach from wheelchairs. Thanks, but I can pay more reasonable prices for organics at regular grocery stores, and get treated as if I am human. As I said, I went to WF mainly for customer service. Not to have my human rights violated.

Whole Paycheck, as it used to be called, is not that bad regarding pricing, and they often have…read moredeals, so I no longer call it by that name. However in the sandwich department, they have really fallen down recently. I used to buy lunch there often but stopped when their selection became smaller and much worse. Today I bought two sandwiches, both suffered from soggy bread and insufficient ingredients. One was an egg sandwich with barely a smear of egg, whereas not that long ago the egg used to burst out of the bread. No butter, no margarine, no nothing. WTF? And to make matters worse, wilty old lettuce. This is a disaster, a sandwich disaster. Cheaping out on egg? Egg is not expensive. Why? Cheaping out on hummus? Why? Hummus is also cheap to buy and cheaper to make. The other sandwich was made with hummus or was supposed to be. It was soggy, with the smallest amount of hummus possible. There were tomato slices but when pulled out they were old and wrinkly. I'm old and wrinkly too but don't want that added to my sandwich. So Whole Foods, if you are listening, I'm not buying sandwiches from you again and if you're wondering where your customers are going, try building a better one, like you used to do. ,

A review based on a quick, first-time visit to get bread:…read more - It feels a little like a Thrifty Foods with its layout, signage, and offerings. - Service was good. - Prices are reasonable. - Note their "signature" sourdough bread loaves are larger than the competition. - Be sure to watch for the dates on the bread as they're mixed throughout all loaves in multiple locations (and not just for the sourdough variety). - They don't seem to offer in-store-baked 100% whole wheat bread (just 60%) and now that I think of it, they not have (or only have a very limited amount of) commercial brands of bread. - Parking is easy in the large shopping complex parking lot outside. - It's definitely wheelchair and baby stroller-friendly.

It made it easy for me to find exactly the spices I needed quickly. I couldn't believe I could get lard and molasses in bulk. I was thrilled. I got the exact amount I needed for my cookie recipe. No leftover boxes to store. There was everything you can imagine in bulk and more. Cookies, chocolate, nuts, flours, rice, beans, candy. I mean the list is endless. The ingredients I bought were fresh. The chocolate covered sponge toffee mix I got to snack on in the car sure was tasty. I'll be sure to get some more next visit. The staff were friendly and helpful. I couldn't believe the cashier new all the codes for everything I bought. She could actually tell the difference between the bag of icing sugar and the bag of cornstarch. That's impressive. It's a great place to shop and quite enjoyable checking out all the bins. They also offer packaged goods and lots of baking supplies. There is also a seniors day on Wednesdays.

This store has everything food you could ever want in bulk form, it's not just one big candy store. They have pet food, health food, cereals, spices, mixes for cakes, cookies and soups. One of the walls is covered in cake pans and candy and chocolate making supplies. You can get peanut butter, jams, teas and coffee here and of course a whole array of candy! The candy isle is really the best, and I can only imagine how fat I'd get if I worked here. Only annoyance with bulk food is when parents seem to play blind when their kids stick their grubby hands in the bins, but the store can't really control other people's kids, so this place still gets 5 stars from me.
