Whole Foods Market

Great variety, but you pay for their near perfect vegetables & fruits and their hot & cold food bar is amazing - though expensive. This store is in the Haight Ashbury - not the gentlest of neighborhoods but at the end where Whole Foods is, it's quite nice and right by Golden Gate Park...

Rudest nastiest staff of any Whole Foods I’ve ever had the pleasure to shop at. ZERO REDEEMING qualities. The sucky customers are just as bad. I live in the neighborhood and I just watched this couple return 30 used tablecloth from the costume party that were visibly used and I’m sure they’d be the first to virtue signal how awesome they really aren’t. They should fire the entire staff and SAGE this place for a month. @amazon @wholefoods

This is my local Whole Foods. Staff is very unfriendly especially at check out. It is also the norm here to bag all of your own groceries even if the cashier is just waiting watching, which slows down the lines. Total opposite experience of Whole Foods in socal

Love this location. Amazon employees are always so nice. Best place to do your grocery shopping as well as Amazon returns. They always made it hassle free.

While the butcher shop at Whole Foods near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco isn’t the best, everything else matches the high quality you’d expect from a Whole Foods in SF. The store can get busy with long lines due to its prime location, but I love the efficient two-lane checkout system—one for self-checkout and one for cashiers. Highly recommend this Whole Foods for a reliable, premium grocery experience!

In general this is a pretty good grocery store. Layout is easy to follow. Pretty clean. Not smelly like the Marina Safeway. They need to improve the flow of traffic as shoppers and carts are departing the checkout area because it runs right into the dessert and coffee ordering area. Parking is the biggest problem. Small parking lot with people often not following the directional signals.

I’ve been to this Whole Foods a few times now, and it’s consistently solid. The produce section is super fresh and well-stocked—definitely a go-to when I need good organic fruits or veggies. I love the hot food and salad bars for a quick lunch, although they can get pricey if you’re not careful. The staff is friendly and usually helpful. Parking can be a bit of a hassle during peak hours, and some items are more expensive compared to other stores, but that’s kind of expected with Whole Foods. Still, I appreciate the quality and clean layout. If you’re into specialty items or just want to grab a healthy bite on the go, it’s worth stopping by.

I've been here a number of times, and almost without fail the staff is incredibly rude. Headphones in, ignoring customers trying to ask questions, rolling their eyes at people and generally just nasty. The manager of this store is doing a terrible job hiring/training the staff and it's quite bad for the Whole Foods brand. Leaving this review in the hopes that the Google rating gets low enough for corporate to do something about this mess so I can shop there again.

The Times They Are A-Changin on Haight street in San Francisco. The McDonalds where you use to get a Happy Meal across the street from Golden Gate Park is no longer there . What can never be erased is the Summer of Love. This grateful spirit remains even when we are dead and gone. Flower childs are still roaming around the city. What started word of mouth during the Summer of Love is forever ingrained in San Francisco culture. I went on a Summer of Love stroll on Haight street after picking up a scoop of Cherry Garcia Ice Cream on Haight and Ashbury at Ben & Jerry's . I walked a few blocks down on Haight street and ran into Whole Foods. This time it was the Whole Foods the chain store grocery store . This is the place to get all party and picnic essentials just across the street from main entrance of Golden Gate Park. This place has a bit of everything. The place to go by Golden Gate Park and grab some cheese, lemons, wine, and king salmon and also grab a case of Sanpellegrino sparkling that's Italian as you may enter Whole Foods on Haight street but the address is 690 Stanyan The Summer of Love is everywhere in the air in San Francisco ask your family and friends and your companion from the Mission to the Excelsior the birthplace of Jerry Garcia to the Portola, Western Edition through the Sunset Strip and around the Glen Canyon

It's not as big as I'm used to in the Midwest, but it's got a great selection. Lots of vegan stuff in the bakery. The local olive bread is AMAZING. And checkout staff was very friendly and helpful, even taping my strawberries shut so they didn't burst open and get ruined on my walk home.

My girlfriend just came here. We tried their rice crispy treats. I got the birthday cake. The total for the two rice crispies was about six dollars. Definitely very good in feeling as well. Service here is very very friendly. The staff here are very polite and can answer most of your questions. The ambience is really nice as well as they have a really big parking lot and the area is really nice next to some beautiful complex apartment buildings that are almost complete.

The place is a bit chaotic and a bit pricey. I tried to order a sandwich from the deli, but the lady behind the counter didn't acknowledge I was there and was yelling at customers trying to get pizza. Also, many of the items in the snack dispensers were empty. It took a while to pay, though the cashier was nice enough. I tried the drip coffee, located past the cashiers and by the front door, it wasn't bad and the service was quick. I was going to sit at an outside table with my coffee and groceries to wait for the bus, but all the tables were taken by kids hanging out. Overall, I would rather go to a Safeway than this particular Whole Foods. It was definitely not a comfortable experience.

Always love coming here! Great ppl, always great display and a good reliable bustling city market.

I frequent this Whole Foods often. It's always a nice treat after emerging from the park. I like to stock up on heavy grocery basics and refreshing drinks here - before grabbing an Uber home. . I prefer to stick to the staffed check-out line and I am always impressed by the kind and personable staff here. As of late - I have been wowed by their ability to masterfully tetris pack my grocery bags - so that I can move them around easily and confidently in the Whole Foods busy parking lot. I'm thankful that this Whole Foods exists and I continue to be a regular customer. Trust.

This review is specifically about a very rude employee named Adam, who works as a maintenance worker at the Whole Foods on Stanyan & Haight in San Francisco. I've shopped at plenty of Whole Foods locations and have come to expect a certain level of professionalism and kindness from the staff--but this store clearly missed the mark, thanks to Adam. As I was waiting to use the restroom, Adam approaches me with a sour expression and no regard for basic courtesy. He gets uncomfortably close and says, "You're standing in front of a door," in a tone that was more hostile than helpful. No "excuse me," no "would you mind moving," just straight-up rudeness. It was completely unnecessary and extremely off-putting. Honestly, it felt more like I was being scolded than spoken to. Whole Foods prides itself on customer experience, but Adam's attitude is the opposite of what you'd expect from a company that markets itself as community-focused and service-oriented. If this is who they trust to represent their store, it makes you wonder what else they let slide. Do better, Whole Foods. And maybe remind your staff that being polite isn't optional.

Smaller Whole Foods in the place of the old bowling alley. Kid brother's friend lives just around the corner and overall its a great little neighborhood - if anything a little hippie dippie. This WF is a bit smaller than others but it seems most everything is there. I had the most difficult time finding the cakes on display as you really only come face to face with them as you leave. Way back when this was a bowling alley. They left the old wooden floors from the lanes where the cash registers are at. I liked that little touch of personality and people who grew up here can look at it and remember. I love the little neon signs on Haight. Amoeba music is the biggest and brightest. There are some bars and other points of interest around such as the pin ball arcade on Waller - that is always good fun. Had an emergency situation where I needed a raspberry mousse cake and was glad they were in stock. Got the last one. It was decorated a little differently than at other stores and I like that the pastry chef has a little flexibility with that sort of thing. When I'm in grocery stores I always need help. Lots of help. No exception here. Couldn't find the bakery department and had to ask. That was hidden in plain sight... You would have to walk through to understand. Help was great and check out was quick. Tons of parking and no issues at all. Still to this day I don't think I've ever found a WF to be anything less than a five star experience no matter what location I've been to.

This is a small market with limited selection. Not too busy on a weekday lunch time. Pretty pricey for just few items.

I went to go return some Amazon packages and the nicest lady helped me. I'm not sure who had the bright idea to set up the Amazon return desk right by the front door with the loud door fan screaming on the whole time. There's no way that's OSHA compliant. Management should look into it! I work in a preschool and that fan is louder than the preschool classroom. Shame on you guys. That lady was SO nice about it too.

this Whole Foods has sunk to a new low. the manager puts out the same pig slop to the hot bar daily and people just eat this junk up 365 days of the year. To make matters worse the same hotbar recipe at other stores is tasty while this one even the 365 same dish tastes like crap

The NE corner of this store is where I do my best crying. Of all the places in the city, wine and cheese at Whole Foods is the best place to cry. It can get busy, but there's usually another crier there too. They're often out of roast chicken, so call ahead to make sure they have one for you.

I'm torn here. This Whole Foods is good enough, not great. They lack a lot of my fav products that I can find on Market & Dolores Whole Foods. The Haight st store has parking, seems to have crime & weirdos under control, & praise the lord, finally put in self-checkout, so the lines haven't snaked around the store anytime I've been here. I've never had a rude clerk, but agree with another reviewer on the manic stocking behavior. I always feel like the employees must be getting timed or something. Or they get to go home when they finish. Might explain all the bruised produce. I've given up playing avocado roulette. Anyway, like I said, good enough, I'll be back when I'm driving & need to buy a lot of heavy items. Otherwise I'll be feeling better about myself shopping at Gus's. I just changed my review from 3 to 4 star. I'm really impressed I got a response from the store. Good to know they're trying, & I understand how difficult it is to run a business these days.

The best time to go is between 1:00 & 5:00 pm. The staff is switching shifts and the wrongfully-overwhelmed, stay-at-home lady isn't cutting you off in the aisles/check out. Otherwise the staff is overall pretty helpful. The seafood/meat counter is always great product-wise and service-wise, you can tell when someone obnoxious has been there, and tbh - that's how it is when dealing with some of the bulldozer clientele that show up. It's really the type of person who visits the store that makes this place unbearable at certain times. Otherwise, the staff is great

Coffee bar is occasionally open and often closed, with no indication of why or when. I politely asked one of the people behind the counter when they would be open, and they were super defensive and rude. Not sure what's going on over there. Came back again next day on my break looking for an espresso. This time they had 2 signs on the coffee bar - right next to each other: "Coffee bar is closed today" and "Barista back in 30 mins". Not sure whether to wait or not, but I guess they couldn't care less. Tried to buy a mozzarella/pesto sandwich featured on their menu. "No pesto today." Tried to buy a slice of cheese pizza for my lunch: "Not until later this afternoon."

I live around the corner of this Whole Foods location, so I could say I am a regular. I spend 400 to 600 a month on grocery on top of what my wife's spends. Tonight, I was buying alcohol so I waited in the cashier line behind another person for about 5 minutes, then some dude decided to skippedin front of the line because he couldn't use cash in self checkout. I kindly then informed the cashier that there is a line and this guy just skipped in front. She then tells me that I would help you next and laugh about the situation. Should've made the guy waited inline like everyone else. This is the 3rd incident that this kinda stuff happened to me and the staff just let it slide. I would never spend a dime and so will my wife at any Whole Foods because of their customer service.

I came here to pick lunch after a fun outing to GG park. It's a smaller Whole Foods but makes sense given the location. Parking was a little bit of a pain and I can imagine it being horrible when they are busier since it is a small lot. I can see why this spot has low ratings. All 4 employees I engaged were surly and mono-syllabic. The pizza was not that great and the hot food was mixed. The Brussels were terrible and hard, not sure how you mess that up.

Their fresh-pressed juices are life! Can never go wrong with the green juice combo. Bought some organic strawberries, and they were super sour. Not the best experience today.

Came here for fresh veggies, and they were wilted. Usually, they're fine, but today? Big disappointment. ORDERED A SMOOTHIE, AND IT WAS SO THICK I NEEDED A SPOON. I thought Whole Foods was supposed to be all about perfect health?

The store is well stocked, and clean with easy parking if you shop in the evening. Check out is a bit congested, but should not be an issue unless doing a large shop. As for the Update, I just received an email alert of a SALE for Amazon Prime subs. October 20 - November 2, 2021 it's 50% Off All Frozen Pizza , I see a Lunch in my future via Whole Foods :)

Stopped in to Whole Foods on Stanyan to make an Amazon return at the kiosk. Decided to shop, since it was my first time there. Amna was super-nice at the checkout, and honored a coupon (affixed to a box of Stevia) that was expired. She got my 5 star rating for this simple act of kindness! I'll be back

I am sorry they ever installed self-checkout stations. I like their staff, and I would prefer to have them ring up & bag my stuff. The lines moved faster when they had live checkout staff on both sides.

"If the white knight is talking backwards.. And the red queen's off with her head.. Remember what the dormouse said... Feed your head..." Ahh Jefferson Airplane is the epitome of San Francisco counterculture. I agree with my friends, Jessica T. and Jennifer O., with the 4-stars rating. Unfortunately because Whole Foods is a chain store (now offspring of mega-giant Amazon) and located on "very independent" Haight street you'd figure lots of hating on this location. For me, I've had overall good experiences - friendly employees (for the most part), a decent selection of hot foods, vegan donuts, and a fantastic selection of cold drinks, from IPA's to my Teavana and pressed juices! This Haight location has a very artsy - hippyish vibe. And I'm good with that as long as the customer service ain't stoned lol. The check-out line is a tad bit confusing starting at the back wall and ending at the other wall. This is the location you'll find me if I'm planning a day of picnicking or archery at nearby Golden Gate Park. Preferably on a sunny day with hippie girls everywhere! All in all, a medium sized Whole Foods that seems to carry all the essentials needed for your taste buds. The other kind buds can be found a block away on Ashbury near Grace Slick's love nest lol... Feed your head...

NO PARKING. the parking is ridiculously small, so good luck if you get there in the middle of the day... it's no close enough for me to walk there, but it's just 5-10 min short drive but I never go there because it's impossible to find parking. Went there, circled around for 10 minutes, waiting for someone to leave, i even saw a couple and their stroller got out the grocery store, put their purchases in their trunk, but then went out to stroll in golden gate park... unbelievable... so yes people use the already tiny parking as free day parking... good luck shopping there if you come with a car!

2.5 stars?!? Haven't been to this location in a while bc of the shadiness that surrounded the place but have to say they've def cleaned it up. Everything felt super clean and safe. The pumpkin tart, caramel apple macaron and cronut were soooo good. The cronut was more doughy than I'm used to but their take on fall flavors was on point. This place def deserves a revisit!

Review is for in store pick up. I was told I couldn't make a change to my order or just cancel so I said I'd cancel. The in-store clerk calls me and asks if I was seriously cancelling my order over it? I said yes, because you essentially told me to take it or leave it. Leaving it is! She continues to make me out to be the a-hole by telling me over and over again how she spent time getting everything. I'm not going to be guilt tripped to complete an order with things I don't want just to please her. Not a phone call I expected at all.

This is not my normal Whole Foods shopping spot but do have a history here. For decades, this was a Cala Foods that often served as a back up fridge or shelf refill spot when in the neighborhood. Located directly across the street from Golden Gate Park, it services locals in the Haight, Twin Peaks, the Sunset District, and the Panhandle. While driving home after an errand in the Richmond District on a Sunday morning, I noticed the line was only seven deep so I pulled into the parking lot. The line movement was about average as it was about a fifteen minute wait to gain entry. Once in, I pulled up my shopping list and searched for a variety of items from peanut butter and snacks to hummus. While walking by, I noticed the sushi counter and grabbed the tempting container for my breakfast (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=C2B3k5mtZSw1yiBcE6dffw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q)... I know, for breakfast?! I also bought a bottle of lemonade and a few other items. The cashier line is unusual as they are lined along the far right wall; it is actually quite efficient and the flow was pretty fast. Now knowing the layout, I wouldn't hesitate to stop here if I was in the neighborhood. As I waited in line, I couldn't help but notice that the McDonald's on the next corner was gone, as in demolished. In watching the news, this will be a tent encampment for the homeless though undetermined whether temporary or permanent.

I went to Whole Foods today, and wow--what a nightmare parking situation. The lot is tiny, and people will literally yell at you if you don't move fast enough. I encountered two agitated shoppers before I even got inside. Once you're in the store, it's extremely cramped, the selection is limited, and their prepared food section is a joke. They don't even have sushi! The overall vibe is just weird and unpleasant. Honestly, avoid this location if you can--it's too small, too chaotic, and doesn't have nearly enough good options to make up for the hassle.

Amazon return at Customer Service desk. Not a long line, when I was there. QR code scan and done. Fast and easy.

Was just thrown out by the security guard because of my certified service dog. Dog has all current paper work. Even trying to explain the the security guard he still escorted me out. I will never ever shop at While Foods EVER again! ***** well I came back. 30 people in line and no one has moved in 15 minutes. They hire people with no work ethic or soul.

This is the worst Whole Foods in San Francisco. I live across the street but I would rather drive an extra 15 minutes to the stonetown location. Management here is an absolute joke and always give false promises. Being short staffed is NOT an excuse anymore sis! This isint 2020. The staggered line always confuses tourists and causes arguments. The Bathroom is closed to customers!! Insane. Im spending $400 a week on groceries and can't wash my hands. SMH. Lazy management. If tourists and street people are using the restroom, then clean it more frequently. Really the worst shopping experience. Don't close the restroom entirely to loyal customers.

My first time shopping at this Whole Foods and I was underwhelmed by the attitude of the deli department. I walked by the pizza and they actually looked good. It was a self service type deal, and being a short person, I could not reach the pizza boxes and ended up knocking down the boxes off the counter. The girl at the pizza counter was manipulating her dough looked at me, the girl at the sandwich counter made a snide remark to her coworker to pick up the boxes, neither one of them made eye contact, or said anything after I profusely apologized. I waited like 3 minutes while the pizza girl continued to work her pizza, the sandwich girl just ignored me and continued to peel an avocado. Finally, pizza girl puts the crusts on her pan, then goes to pick up the boxes, throws one on the counter for me (I wanted to get two slices, but it really wasn't worth it trying to get another box), Got my slice of pizza and a bad vibe and finished up my shopping. $150 + later, the checkout persons were all happy and nice, the lines went by quickly. However, I will not be back to shop where employees ignore customers and make snide remarks, with side eyes (seriously?) regardless of how nice the groceries look, there are other places that definitely more welcoming.

Been going here for 10 years. Not because of want at this point...just because it's close. Food selection is ok. Better at other locations but this is a smaller spot. My biggest gripes....can we all just agree to either assist with bagging at the check out...or not, and make it abundantly clear one way or the other. It's getting awkward. Assisting with bagging has been part of cashiering since the damn position was invented. Line around the corner...and cashier is staring at me like it's obvious that I should bag my own shit. Fucking ridiculous. At the very least....help me do it so we aren't holding up the already ridiculous long line. I could get over it if the arrogance wasn't so obvious. I'd use the self check out if it worked faster. At this point I would suggest just replacing all the cashiers with robots. They clearly don't want to do the job anyway. Next up... security. They used to assist in directing parking. It's a very small parking lot and this is a necessary position. And now they just stare at their phones and don't do shit while everybody argues with each other about who got their first etc... Long story short....I realize we are in a big "fuck the corporations" era.... But it's not my fault Jeff bezos bought your company. Please actually do the job you were hired tondo.

It is sad that WH has gone so cheap on their bakery stuff. They do not use butter and have cut any fruit they use from real berries to cheap jam. Cream cheese frosting is now so diluted, it tastes like nuclear waste. They are now an extension of the Safeway Bakery across the street. It is great for local bakeries though. Guess you have to pay a lot or cook it yourself.

This is the best whole foods!!!!!!! Small and easy to navigate. Helpful staff. Never a line at checkout. Parking is easy (at least when I go). Only complaint is the bathrooms need way more regular cleaning - they're not in an acceptable state.

Take heed if you are a conossieur of their sandwiches. Beware of mold! Many of their bread have layers of visible mold. Imagine the amount of spores that are not visible to the naked eye. I came here on my lunch break on 10/30/21 to get a TTLA sandwich. As I was waiting to get service, my eyes just so happened to graze over the bread. That's when I saw the greyish-green film of mold on the bread. Flabbergasted, I asked the employee, "Is that mold?" "Oh yeah, that's just a display." Lmaoooo that is real bread and sir do you not know how mold spreads. As he was reaching to the front of the container, I saw another one that had been nearly engulfed in green mold. Absolutely disgusting. Appetite lost. I walked out of the store. As a manager, how do you not oversee the freshness of your products--especially if they are constantly exposed to air and are therefore prone to bacteria/mold formation? Disgusting oversight.

Unfortunately, this Whole Foods is consistently terrible. Why? I've given it lots of opportunities but no more. Not coming back. Today, while trying to pick my produce an employee obnoxiously reaches over me and continues to work exactly where I was and gets in front of me. You're so close to your face is inches away from me. With variations of the Covid virus I'm not comfortable with that. Then proceeds to rudely tell me, "what, we can both be here". Lady, learn to communicate like an adult you're obviously in your 50s or 60s, and your breath smells bad. You're in a frenzy, and all over the apples I'm trying to buy, give a customer a few seconds jeez. After I give you space, then you're an ass about it. Twisting it so that I'm doing something wrong? If you want to be social and talk to customers, great, but don't be disrespectful and pushy about it. There's no need to rudely step into someone's way and try sell it as normal. There seems to be an infection of disrespect at this store, and I'm not the only one who feels this way according to reviews.

Awful. Worse since Amazon acquired. Pathetic actually. There is nothing enjoyable about shopping here and I won't be back.

Their meat, yo. They came through with the chuck roast, and I made my first batch of carne asada. My husband lovedddddd it. What it do, what it do.

This review is solely for the decision makers at Whole Foods - not the hard-working grocery staff members who work there. The staff has been nothing but courteous and professional to me and in fact, I am writing this review in support of them. I have shopped here off and on over the years. Two weeks ago, I got a bad surprise: When I got to the checkout line, I saw that one of the two rows of checkers had been replaced by self checkout machines. Yes, that's right - think about it, an entire row - of workers - gone! I was appalled. Where did half the staff go? Does Jeff Bezos really need to make more money by replacing humans with robots? I cannot and will not support this. I waited to get a real human checker - the kind you can say hello to - and I asked her, "What is this like for you - half the staff is just gone?!". She remained very professional to her credit but I could see the appreciative look in her eyes as she realized that someone bothered to notice such an affront. Do we really want to live in a world where there are only wealthy titans lording over everyone and a lot of society going hungry? Have we already forgotten the importance of service workers just three short years after the Covid lockdown? When you support being serviced by robots, don't be surprised when theft increases around your city as more and more starving people are forced into stealing in order not to go hungry. Yes, there is a high price to pay for this 'convenience' (and it is anything but that - think about it, a store that used to offer you a service now expects you to do your own bagging!). This does not help our city at all and Whole Foods, with all its power and money, should assume more responsibility and think more in my opinion of the role they are playing in our society. I would like a response on this from Whole Foods management over this decision - and I do NOT want to hear "Oh we just can't get enough workers" 'cause perpetuating the wealth imbalance by "hiring" robots isn't helping working people afford to live in San Francisco and is doing just the opposite. I will be boycotting self checkouts and encourage others who care about human dignity to do the same.

WARNING! WHOLE FOODS DOES NOT SERVE BLACK PEOPLE I neglected to read the reviews and decided to stop at this location considering it's on my route home; this was a mistake. The moment I entered the store, my experience quickly became racialized. I was followed by store personnel. Ignored my the entire deli staff who brazenly looked me in my eyes while saying,"fuck that nigga. I'm gonna pretend I don't see his ass." What did the store manager, Frank, say when informed? "Hey, I chatted with security. They said that they were looking out for teenagers who have been stealing. So, maybe they were just doing both. Sorry". Thank you, Frank. This explains a lot.

This whole foods needs self checkout so bad... I feel bad for the employees, must not be easy to deal with the space. Would also be nice: Bigger coffee bean selection

I absolutely hate the self check out. It is NOT faster when I have a cart full of produce and have to look up the UPC. I have to check every package where the SKU is in order to scan the product. It is bad customer service to get rid of the cashiers and lose that human interaction.

This is the Whole Foods closest to our home. So we shop there. It is one of the smaller outlets. Parking is a real problem. But it's the most convenient Whole Foods. If you want to grab something for a picnic in nearby Golden Gate Park, this is the place to go.

I went in to return an Amazon item and stood in line at Customer Service for ten minutes before being asked to stand in another line for the automatic/ self return machine. I then went to get a salad at the salad bar and waited in line to checkout with a sales team member and was directed to self checkout. No humans to interact with in this store, sadly.

I wish this Whole Foods would close. There's only 2 checkers and crazy lines on a late Monday morning. Also, they don't let cus to mere use their restroom. Why? The whole food on ocean Ave keeps their restrooms open. How rude and disrespectful to let customers shop in this expensive store not use the restroom. Is it because it's a do Kathy neighborhood? Then don't have a Whole Foods here. Never coming back to this location.

I am no means a fan of Jeff Bezos, but I must say Whole Foods has seemed to be a bit more affordable lately! In particular, I have been impressed with their pre-made deli options. The sandwiches here are only $8 if you don't get any fancy add-ons and that's pretty dang reasonable here in SF. Also, they have tall cans of beer for 2/$4 or 2/$5. Given that and being right across the street from Golden Gate Park, this spot the perfect pre-picnic store. Being a normally big store in this small city, the aisles may be a bit more cramped than the ones you will find in the suburbs. But given the quality and variety of the food at the price point, particularly for pre-made/ packaged options, this Whole Foods is still a great option for the area. Though I will say if you're looking more just for produce and are willing to travel a bit further to the inner sunset, you will definitely find superior and cheaper produce markets.

If I could give this store 0 stars I would. I don't recommend anyone to shop at this Whole Foods!!! And agree with all the reviews that have been put up regarding the employees & service given at the store. (I feel really bad for the 70 year old lady that got kicked out for using the ladder & wasn't allowed to shop there anymore ). All the employees including the managers are all racist. All the employees are really rude! I have been a customer for many years at this store and have specially go for the Atlantic salmon at the seafood department. A couple years ago there were some Latino workers at the seafood department that did impeccable work. We always ordered with them and had no problem at all. They would know what we would order and did their job, simple as that. Nothing hard to misunderstand. Well, one day we found out these workers weren't there anymore and another guy had replaced them. Now just one American guy is running the whole seafood department. He is really rude and the most racist guy I have ever met. You could tell it by looking at his face with his mediocre job. We have been ordering our fish with him and what does he tell us, that he can't scale the fish because he has other stuff to do and that he is busy...when the only two people in the line are us!!! And get this, then a manager has to be called to come out and prepare our fish for us, a manager!!! that's how bad this store is. And the manager tells us in the end to call beforehand to order it & see if there is someone available to prepare our fish!!!! All these people are lazy and don't want to work hard to earn their check. But this last time we went was the final straw!!!!! We ordered our 3 1/2 lbs of Atlantic salmon as usual, told him to remove the scales and cut into fillets like always. And I speak perfect English, so there is no reason for a misunderstanding. The guy is either tone deaf or stupid...kept saying "What? You want to remove the scales? Cut into fillets?" It's not the first time I order this with you.... (Must have an IQ of a street pigeon). And like always he was rude and intimidating, shooed us off and told us to walk around. And we told him "No, we would wait for our fish, standing there." So what does he do? He comes and grabs the fish and places it on the other side of the counter hiding from us because he knew what he was gonna do. He gives us the fish and when we come home to unwrap it, the fish has a bunch of holes in it?!!!!! You could see all the holes he dug into the fish with his nasty, dirty, crusty finger nails. Disgusting!!! Don't know how this guy still has this job?! Oh...and wait there is more! When you ask to speak to one of the managers they are worse then the employees. You expose your complaint to them and what do they do...take sides with the employees. They defend them and say "We do not hire racist people here." These managers are either blind, tone deaf or just plain ignorant. And what do they do after saying this, kick you out of the store!!! Yeah that's right, they also kicked us out of the store for exposing our complaint and told us we are never allowed to shop their anymore!!!! And told us to shop some where else!!!This is a stupid habit of them at this store! Ohh...but all the homeless that go in and steal everything from the store are welcomed all day, everyday into the store. They don't even attempt to kick them out or do anything about it. They just say "Come on, grab whatever you want and leave." That's how bad this city is getting... With how things are going...hopefully this place gets shut down and closed for good! I once saw a rat coming out of here too. Don't know what the SF Public Health Department is doing with this store when they check on it?! I see less people shopping here anyways.... Good riddance! Or hopefully they hire new, better, friendly staff. Oh and found a much better, cleaner store to shop at where the service is much more nicer, friendlier, they are much more competent and there job is impeccable. No issues or problem at all. Don't have to tell me twice! My recommendation is save yourself some time and shop some where else!

I literally followed all of their instructions for online pick up per Whole Foods instructions. I waited for over 40 min in the parking lot expecting to get a phone call per their check-in instructions since there was no clear area to park. Their only pick up area is blocked off by cones so clearly they don't want anyone to use those spots. After waiting 40 min I went inside to get my groceries and asked where the in-store pick up area is. Now that's when I actually got annoyed. I'm already out of my car. I can push my own cart and load my own truck. Just let me get them. I was then told I had to go back to my car and to park in the spot they had blocked off by cones. According to them I should have let someone know to move the cone. Ok. That's stupid. Park my car, to find an employee to move the cone, then go park my car again? I then moved to the stupid spot. They asked my name and told me to pop the trunk. 3 minutes later a totally different employee is standing at my door and asks for my name. Then she told me that I never checked in. I showed her my phone that says I checked in (photo attached) along with all the other info about what the process should look like. She doesn't even look at my phone. All she tells me is that I didn't check in. She then said "you need to try to work with us because we're doing our best to work with you". Little girl, I did my part to work with you and you've completely failed your end of the bargain. If you wanted me to do all that other crap Whole Foods should have put it in the instructions. You work for one of the biggest companies on the planet and you can't figure out how to read a check in? She left and came back QUICKLY but with a whole new coworker. Which only tells me that if TWO people can bring my groceries out then there are plenty of people working here to be on top of mobile orders. Plus giving me attitude while you and your coworker put my groceries in my trunk is not going to make me feel bad or make me reconsider my attitude. I work in the service industry too. And I don't make my customers wait for 40 min when they want curbside pick up and I give them clear instructions on where I will meet them and how long it will take. I chose this specific service because it's my only day off in 13 days and I have a million things to do today but obviously I could have been in and out of Whole Foods in 15 min if I just grabbed the stupid groceries myself. So next time you try to throw shade at a paying customer think about how you messed up doing YOUR job. You don't have give me a fake apology for sucking at what you do but you can shut your mouth while I'm present and talk crap about me to your coworkers later because I. Do. Not. Care. that you don't like me. You're still wrong.
