  Whole Foods' quality has definitely taken a massive hit post Amazon acquisition. The most obvious place I've noticed it is the Bakery, the produce has less diversity as well. I've also noticed more empty shelves in the processed food aisles. I noticed this as well, and stopped shopping at Whole Foods. Then I went back in this week to pick up a package at one of the Amazon lockers, and it looks like Amazon's getting its act together. No more empty shelves. No more disorganized aisles. No more confused staff. It seemed like the Whole Foods of old, except that for some reason there was a rack selling yoga pants by the oranges. It puzzled me and I stood there trying to figure out if the placement was deliberate, or accidental. Then a woman came up and took a pair. So, I guess it works, I just don't understand it.

    There was an article about it earlier this year. It was a botched rollout of an inventory system. It seems to have been mostly fixed now. https://www.businessinsider.com/whole-foods-employees-reveal-why-stores-are-facing-a-crisis-of-food-shortages-2018-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/whole-foods-employees-reveal...
