The Shrimp is Guilty…read more The shrimp made me sick Last night. It was midnight, your honor, When I awoke. Not pleasant at all We are both guilty, your honor, He for surviving long enough after Being separated from his home and family Still anxiously waiting for him Frozen then sent across the world inside A container inside a plane Unceremoniously shoved into A plastic bag with complete strangers And sent to Whole Foods, A store I'm embarrassed to say That I shop in, where innocently And without malice, he waited. And I innocently and without malice purchased said shrimp, your honor Where he sat for a week or so in my freezer Probably thinking what the hell Until I finally decided to cook him along With seven of his compatriots in a dish I found on the internet called Easy Mediterranean Shrimp I live alone and spend a lot of time Looking at recipes online, your honor A pasttime I highly recommend over watching Inane shows on Netflix or YouTube videos Which I believe are the main cause for The loss of civility in today's culture I only ate part of the dish (it serves 4) Even alone I don't want to be seen as greedy Though it was quite tasty and I could have Eaten another serving. I mean who would know, your honor That being said, I am asking for compensation For my suffering and that of all sea creatures Who have suffered along with me And you, your honor We are all guilty Poem by Susan Stalick (5 stars for Whole Foods for reimbursing me for the frozen shrimp. No questions aka by me or them. )

The Amazon shoppers are such an unpleasant negative presence in the store. They don't actually work…read morethere, as in they aren't customer facing employees and have no customer service demeanor or training. And they aren't customers either. They're a weird 3rd space presence of rude unpleasant bulky obstacles with excessively large carts that linger and block the aisles making it challenging and frustrating to access groceries and move about store. And they act like you are in THEIR way. If modern life wasn't already impersonal enough, they make the grocery shopping experience even more impersonal. They are rude, always have a mean unhappy RBF expression. They have a rushed urgency about them that makes the store feel hectic. It's obvious they don't want to be there. They don't want to talk to you. They're not technically employees that you can ask questions. They park their cart blocking groceries and its not obvious who's huge cart that is to ask them to move. They just bring a negative funk to the whole place. And to top it off most of them are likely not people who would regularly shop at Whole Foods. Amazon has introduced a whole other socioeconomic demographic of non-customers/non-employees present in the store changing the atmosphere overnight. I'd wager there are as many Amazon shoppers as regular customers they are the majority in the store. Its a take over! the store is unwelcoming to regular customers. I am absolutely tired of dodging these mean unhappy non-employee non-customers interfering with my ability to get groceries. Final straw, I'm done with whole foods

I hate to lay waste to good intentions but... Visited the store today with a list of remedies for…read moremy shingles pain. The sales lady, while helpful and providing the appearance of credible was over the moon excited for me to buy a homeopathic oral spray. The sales pitch was long. It was tiring. She wore me down and I eventually bought it with the rest of my things. I came later to read that this spray not only contains NO actual medicine but the whole business of homeopathy is largely rejected by the scientific community. So I paid $20 for a placebo. Vitamin Shoppe is supposed to be a specialty store. You expect to pay a premium for selection and information. It should have a section in the store for alternative products that contain no actual ingredients, have zero scientific basis for extraordinary claims and proven ineffective by every legitimate study.

I love a new store. I was told they have been open for 6 weeks but it looks brand new. Everything…read moreis properly based on the shelves no mess anywhere. I love it! I will admit that I came here because I asked if the Aldi in Annapolis had wine and it said yes so I thought I would give it a try but I wasn't too surprised when I found out they didn't LOL. If I'm in the area, I will definitely swing by since they are still so well organized.

Would really like to see this place do well as the concept is great and the location is good but…read moreI'm not sure the execution of product isn't there yet. Got an acai bowl, the acai base is frozen and the dry mix-ins just sit on the top, so you eat dry oats and blueberries until the acai base melts and then you have a goopy mess, it can't be dry over frozen, upgrade in blending equipment is needed. I want this place to do well!!

Personally, I think black owned businesses are amazing. They had great smoothies and great service.read more

Green valley used to be a great store. It changed management about a year and a half ago and ever…read moresince things have started to degrade. The produce section is particularly bad. Vegetables often do not look fresh and are in short supply. I have twice found no cauliflower available at all. The bananas that are available to buy are usually just bright green, none ripe it all. When I complain about certain things the store management does not really seem to care. I have had so many bad experiences now that I will not go to Green valley unless I have an absolute urgency.
