My first grocery store review and it's mostly in part to give a special shoutout to an employee…read morenamed Owen who works in the butcher department. These stars are for you! Owen approached us after noticing our confused and puzzled looks while in the chicken section. We wanted to buy a whole chicken (in retrospect a huge undertaking for two novices). We literally had no idea what we were looking at/for. We would pick up a package, try and gather as much information as we could from reading the label, and put it back down. We did this a few times before Owen came to our rescue. Not only did Owen share with us his impressive knowledge of the best whole chicken to purchase, he even offered to spatchcock the chicken for us (a free service I had no idea Whole Foods did for already packaged non in-store products). It was not a surprise that Owen did an amazing job with our chicken and packaged it immaculately. He even included the chicken scraps and bones, wrapped separately. Owen left a huge impression on us and we look forward to seeing his cheerful demeanor and helpful attitude every time we visit this Whole Foods location. He is also polite and a great conversationalist! Time and time again, Owen goes above and beyond what he is expected to do. Keep up the excellent attitude and work ethic, Owen! The last time I visited the butchers, I heard from Owen that he is planning to go back to school and cut down to part time work. I sincerely hope the best for him and in all his future endeavors! Besides our great experience at the butchers, this Whole Foods location is solid. It can get pretty busy sometimes on the weekends and in the middle of the day during the weekdays, but it's clean and decently big in here so I don't mind the crowding as much. We constantly purchase our produce from here and they are young, fresh and last a while in our fridge. There are no floral staff members to wrap flowers you purchase here though (I've never seen anyone behind the flower counter). They also do not have any Whole Foods brand fresh bread or a bread slicing machine here. They do carry bread packaged from other brands here though. The Whole Foods cafe (for the brown butter cookie lattes) seems to be closed indefinitely.

Against my better judgement, I bought chicken from here recently, and of course the quality was terrible. It was like trying to bite through muscle or something.

The tangerines I bought yesterday were so horrible I had to throw them out. The only thing Trader Joes does well is marketing.

It's practically fraud and misrepresentation the way they market their products. Anyone who gives that place a good review is either lying, mentally ill, or on some happy weed.

I gave them grace due to the pandemic etc... but it's steadily going down hill and I now find myself in the smaller grocery stores for quality food. My recent finds in Shaws that have prompted my decision was milk. I bought a gallon of milk with the expiration date two weeks out. Not true. The bottom of the gallon of milk was curdled like cottage cheese. It made me sick to my stomach for 2 days. The second was hamburger. The package of ground beef looked freshly ground and packaged. Got it home and started making patties. Once into the meat I saw that the meat under the fresh looking meat was old brown and green. They had taken old meat and covered it with fresh ground beef. So I stopped buying meat at Shaws. The final straw came from a Shaws delivery. I had just had surgery and needed some staples and such. I placed an order of $100 worth of food, plus the fees and tip that was about $35. Pricey, yes but I had no choice, I was house bound. I received a text stating that my order was delivered. I went to the door and nothing. I went to the back of the building and nothing. I tried to contact Shaws, no luck. I grabbed my wagon and started searching the complex for my groceries. 3 buildings away I see bags in the front of another building. I approached them and saw that they were meant for me. I started picking up the bags. There were 5 bags. Rightfully so it was $100 worth of groceries. 1 bag held 2 carrots, bag no 2 had coffee pods in it, bag number 3 had a bag of sugar in it, bag no 4 had a bag of flour in it and there was bag no 5 ripped and torn as they tried to put a case of soda in the bag. Finally I was instructed to put in a claim through the app. Which I did. Only to learn that I will receive "partial" credit for missing items, no refund for the delivery and tip fees, no refund on Shaws fees. This is the winning hand. I am done with Shaws delivery, customer service, and product quality.... Peace out
