I have stopped shopping at whole foods due to their new Amazon policy. Customers are no longer allowed to bring in their own containers for the bulk section.
Amazon is streamlining Wholefoods vendors, in a bad way. Small local vendors are getting squeezed out. They are making it so basically if the vendors are not picked up by one of the top distribution centers they will not be available. GMO labeling that was set to begin in a couple months has been killed. The standards Whole Foods was built on are slowly disappearing. They literally have taken down the core value signs that are suppose to represent WF's.
But how many Whole Foods are there compared to Walmart, target, and Kroger? Still not that many it’s expanding but I still say price is an issue for a ton of people. Then the people that shop at Walmart are not the type of people to show at Whole Foods.
Grocery delivery might actually help our roads and traffic. There's less cars if one car delivers to multiple houses. Also less plastic bags if items are placed in recyclable cardboard boxes, or better yet two boxes that are switched whenever you have delivery. So when they deliver a new box of food, they also take back the empty one that you used last time. Rinse and repeat.
The prepared food is much worse. No chicken breast, only thighs. Four cheese Mac became prison Mac. Security guards have been removed even though there was a shooting at a nearby wfm. Local relationships with vendors are over. Low salt items removed and replaced with chips with 5 different oils. Less of a grocery than a Amazon store. The management didn't even know they used to make raisin challah for the holidays. If you don't preserve the knowledge of a grocery chain, you destroy it. It took decades to build this business. I was a safer way customer. They need to turn this around before they lose all their local customers.
Whole foods stopped being whole foods. It lost its value on what made it unique. If it's going to become like any other grocery store, why pay a premium?
Creepy! I mean you know websites track your browsing but recording your physical transactions AND your credit card at a physical store where you might not be aware of, is just creepy.
This always happens when you shop anywhere online or in person.. Amazon is just skipping the middle man by not having to buy that info from a 3rd party that bought it from the stores.
Sounds like you do have a bit of an axe to grind here. All of the narration was extremely easy to understand from where I’m sitting. What’s he problem here exactly?
These are real concerns. Weakening of locality relationships for corporate-wide efficiency may be counter to Whole Foods historical heart and good goals😥
You to a point are right that Albertsons bought plated, but Albertsons is owned by a third party company. This company (cerberus) ownes several different grocer's such as Safeway, acme, amigos, Carr's, heggan, Jewel Co., Etc. Therefore Albertsons itself did not buy, but cerberus baught.
I never go to Whole Foods because the name is a misnomer. They don't actually sell whole foods. They sell expensive processed goods. Processed is the opposite of whole.
ALL the comments on here talk about the “voice” but have no idea what this means for stock. Let’s focus on the matter at hand.... so easily distracted smh
John Doe not as much as I would’ve liked. It was about 2 years ago I grabbed up some shares of Apple and Amazon. I bought more Apple than I did Amazon, hindsight is 20/20 but I’m still happy with it.
They changed / ruined the hot food service departments. Popular dishes are gone - the department looks asleep and unkept. Only the produce and seafood departments look excellent.
Wow, bad reporting from CNBC. The biggest change is they eliminated the chicken tikka massala sandwich from their menu. That basically ruined my life. Thanks Jeff Bezos.
WHOLE FOODS PROFILES - CHAPTER II THE RESPONSE: A Whole Foods Rep reached out with the generic “I am sorry that you had a bad experience at the Foggy Bottom location.”. However, she seemed vague and confused as to why CRIMINAL PROFILING IS NOT OK. When asked about the Security Office being called on me, she fibbed and insinuated that security was making his rounds and just happened to be standing at the top of the EXIT ONLY stairs. The security guard is stationed at the front entrance of the store adjacent to the stairs leading DOWN to the lower level. If he truly was making his rounds (due to the layout of the store) it would have made more sense for him to: 1. Take the stairs to the lower level 2. Walk the lower level 3. Take the stairs to the upper level 4. Walk the upper level 5. Return to his position So, the Whole Foods Rep either: neglected to view the security footage and (to protect Whole Foods) assumed that Security was making his rounds or viewed the security footage and lied to protect Whole Foods. I find this attempt to placate to be amateurish and insulting. WHOLE FOODS - DO BETTER
I'm close t9 Sprouts, King Soopers (kroger), Trader Joe's, Natural Grocer, and soon a Luckys Market. I've almost cut out Whole Foods entirely. Expensive!!! The other stores have sale prices that don't require a $120 year membership.
It depends. A lot of the natural and organic brands sold at walmart are typically sold at a higher price point than whole foods. As an overall store Whole Foods is more expensive because they don’t sell cheap ingredients that are terrible for your body. They quality of produce in Whole Foods is better than most conventional and even organic grocers. Since amazon has purchased Whole Foods the price point has definitely gone down a lot especially with the in store brand! I work for Whole Foods and I have watched prices continue to lower and sales on items continue to get better.
Voice? That's what happens when you try to do news on a cartoon channel. The immaturity, minors that is, on YT is overwhelming. Too bad there isn't a YT for adults.
Since Amazon's takeover they have ruined my favorite burritos. They took away all the many tortilla options (spinach or tomato) and just had regular basic kinds. They took away chicken chilli Verde and replaced it with this disgusting blocky bland chicken. Added a bunch of vegan crap no one asked for and often times only offering vegan cheese only. Salsa has changed and often too spicy. Idk if they even do the burrito/sandwich cards anymore. I had enough for one free one but I haven't been back sense I tried their new burritos changes. Trying to be PC and make it a "taqueria" version. Stupid. Will never forgive them for this. Also some of my favorite items I love from there have disappeared like Better Life products, hibiscus tea and maple water. If they discontinue their blueberry vegan donuts I may be out.
I shop at whole foods only for certain things like meat and rice. I'm a prime member and in most say it is nice. You feel like a VIP of grocery stores.
@@biancahotca3244 amazon shoppers are dangerous ⚠️, I work for whole foods market and I see them all the time in a rush and almost hitting employees and customers 💁♀️ . Good that I like to use safety words and a bell 🔔 so they know I’m around
Whole Foods today since the amazon acquisition has much lower quality foods and services and much, much higher prices, while it is not organic. It’s an organic lie they are selling you is what it is. It’s ridiculously expensive. 60-70 percent more expensive and the quality is much, much less. The hot food is very low quality. It’s more like, “dried out food”. The store, the prices are a big fat non organic joke. You can buy much better quality food and actually organic for more than half of what you buy at Whole Foods at other grocery store.
I AM VERY PROUD OF JEFF BEZOS AND VERY HAPPY FOR HIM. I WOULD ABSOLUTELY CRY WITH GRATITUDE TO SHOP AT WHOLEFOODS AND TAKE CARE OF MY HEALTH. IT IS ALL A MIRACLE. I CANNOT THANK GOD ENOUGH FOR MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS.
Hate is a pretty strong word for someone who keeps coming back. Also why hate a company that actually does some good for your community, the earth, our economy and others as well. Hate is a strong word for a company you probably don’t know a whole lot about. You should do some research into the company because they are actually fantastic whether your store smells like hippies or not.
wholefoods indeed changed...their brisket sucks....it used to melt in your mouth and now, you chew it and spit it....I eat meat only when I want to celebrate and now I am so disappointed. I want to return it but I already paid it and chewed and sput a fourth of it..... i used to love wholefoods....now I AM NOT SUPPORTING WHOLEFOODS ANYMORE....YOUR BRISKET SUCKS......SUCKS.....SUCKS.....
I have stopped shopping at whole foods due to their new Amazon policy. Customers are no longer allowed to bring in their own containers for the bulk section.
I'm surprised you didn't cover the part where Amazon extinguish the part-time workers health benefits that work at Whole Foods
That voice hurt my ears
Sounds like a teenage American chick
I am sorry but I feel exactly the same way.
She keeps slurring her words. Sounds like stans sister from South Park.
LMAAAOOOOO.
Good info but I don't like the voice
Matthew Young Ditzy millennial b-tch vocal fry :-D
I just found out about this. I just thought she had braces.
I rather go to our farmer's markets
Matthew Young you should cry about it.
Nothing's wrong with it I didn't notice anything wrong with the narrators voice.

😂😂😂 didnt even notice the speech impediment until i read the comments now i cant unhear it why would they hire her lol willy willy
My local coop was worried but wholefoods has driven me harder to the coop. I know who makes my foods and where my produce is coming from.
A harlem girl trying to sound like from Soho
Two neighborhoods that you most likely have never been to.
Whole foods stopped being whole foods. It lost its value on what made it unique. If it's going to become like any other grocery store, why pay a premium?
Creepy! I mean you know websites track your browsing but recording your physical transactions AND your credit card at a physical store where you might not be aware of, is just creepy.
Pretending this wasn’t already happening is just ignorant.
recording this information is required. it's how credit card transactions work
This always happens when you shop anywhere online or in person.. Amazon is just skipping the middle man by not having to buy that info from a 3rd party that bought it from the stores.
I don't shop at WF because I can't afford it. Besides I'd rather shop at local Berkeley Bowl, Farmer Joe's with a sprinkle of Trader Joe's.
i have nothing against people with speech impediments, but don't hire them to do the voice on CNBC...
Oh ma goaad, like, why are you so mean!
Sounds like you do have a bit of an axe to grind here. All of the narration was extremely easy to understand from where I’m sitting. What’s he problem here exactly?
I noticed nothing until reading this, her talking is just fine...
I have nothing against with how people talk but I'm going to point out how they talk -you
R u a doctor
Hi I'm from the future. Amazon kicked Instacart to the curb and now uses their own employees for grocery delivery.
This isn't Whole Foods anymore. It's really sad. Not shopping there any more.
These are real concerns. Weakening of locality relationships for corporate-wide efficiency may be counter to Whole Foods historical heart and good goals😥
Three times the couple leaving the store... 🙄
Smh I can perfectly understand the narrator
Amazons eventually gonna have a monopoly on everything
It’s true.. all of it. (I quit Whole Foods a month ago)
Buying a company doesn't give you it's authenticity, it takes away theirs...
Amazon needs to make Whole foods 100% Organic there are enough non organic foods out there,,,
Do Something AMAZING AMAZON!!!!
Okay but why is this soundtrack badass lol😊
Man technology is really one of key factors in economy.
You to a point are right that Albertsons bought plated, but Albertsons is owned by a third party company. This company (cerberus) ownes several different grocer's such as Safeway, acme, amigos, Carr's, heggan, Jewel Co., Etc. Therefore Albertsons itself did not buy, but cerberus baught.
I hate how she says data
Same for me TATA
Didn't realize how annoying her voice was till I read the comments. Can't unhear it now grrrr

@Doomsday Defense good point, ironic though coming from a sports fan... Sports are meant to distract you and waste your time...
Local whole foods near me doesn't have any of this
4. Is a lie. I’m a shopper, and they don’t have the data upto date. They don’t know what is out of stock.
They changed / ruined the hot food service departments. Popular dishes are gone - the department looks asleep and unkept. Only the produce and seafood departments look excellent.
It's good to be able to do and buy big things.
Turn volume off , captions enabled
The Professional shoplifting at Whole Foods is effecting the bottom Line...
..
They went down hill now
AWESOME
Lol no one in the office wanted to tell her her voice was bad.
so what makes Whole Foods different from other groceries???
Walter S. As the name suggests... they only sell organic stuff.
Nothing!!! Just the ridiculously high prices
cute employees 💁♀️
They need electronic checkout. Most cashiers at Whole Foods stores are unprofessional. Just my experience compared with other retailers.
I can't deal with the way they say data. It's day-ta! Not datuh! This is very informative, though!
Wait, I didn’t notice anything wrong with her voice, what’s got everyone so angry?
She sounds she could be from the valley
Wow, bad reporting from CNBC. The biggest change is they eliminated the chicken tikka massala sandwich from their menu. That basically ruined my life. Thanks Jeff Bezos.
Ayy, I remember Plated
It's a disaster. They ruined it
karen kapnick agreed
End of Whole Foods
Apple, Amazon, alphabet ....look like A's are winning the battle

Are Whole Foods better than Wal-Marts? Price, quality wise?
De Toa Baja Pal' Mundo wegmans tho

Celeste Lewin Thanks, I got a whole food 2 minutes near my house and always drive all the way to the Wal-Mart. I'm gonna give it a try.
De Toa Baja Pal' Mundo price definitely no, quality yes
Leonardo Diax noted. Quality is more important to me at this point of my life. Thanks.
Hey CNBC, Kroger did not buy Ocado. They have entered into an agreement to build fulfilment centers. That's it.
it said they invested in it, i believe
Giving people more information about foods
In nutrition. By computers.
Isn't this the same girl that makes all those math videos!?
Good luck beating WinCo. Bezoz will need it.
Wegmans for life
DA DA
Voiceeee oh god
Whole Foods now sucks
Wtf?? What wholefoods is this because Im not seeing any nesquik cereal and lion cereal here.
Voice? That's what happens when you try to do news on a cartoon channel. The immaturity, minors that is, on YT is overwhelming. Too bad there isn't a YT for adults.
Everybody’s taking about the narrator having a speech impediment but where????????
The produce quality changed.
I get produce that is super close to expiration now and isn't worth buying.
Whole paycheck
The right tool in the wrong hands............
All this and they are still half as good as wegmans
I didn't mind the voice........actually kind of liked it

my god did you guys here the way she said data "datuhh" ughh my ears yuck.
I shop at whole foods only for certain things like meat and rice. I'm a prime member and in most say it is nice. You feel like a VIP of grocery stores.
Don’t shop there for meat and rice. It’s not worth it. It’s wayyy over priced. You can buy organic anywhere now.
