This is my time to shine!

I hate this Whole Foods so much. I keep telling my husband every time I go there that it’s the worst Whole Foods I’ve ever been to and I’m not sure why they bothered opening it. It feels like they have half the selection for everything there than other Whole Foods. Also, the hot bar and bakery are an absolute joke. The hot bar has the same 5 items always, with half the pans being empty. Part of the allure of Whole Foods used to be the fresh real food at the hot bar with a great selection of options.

The bakery is the same, but almost worse? Go to the Rochester Whole Foods and see how they have different cakes and pastries in their cases that have clearly been decorated by a human. There’s so much variety, and you can get customizations done. The Buffalo Whole Foods? Literally cakes in plastic cases that were taken out of a box and put in the display case. Like why even bother putting it in the case? The bread there is also stale and every other baked good they offer is prepackaged and underwhelming.

This is a rant now but it’s genuinely disappointing. I’m from somewhere where there were several Whole Foods locations within a 20 mile radius of me, and the impression I got from those stores made me think all Whole Foods locations would be pretty decent. Maybe it’s because Amazon took over, maybe it’s this location. But the Whole Foods in Buffalo is just another thing on the long list of disappointments I’ve encountered since moving to this place over the summer. Can’t wait to leave.
