I put in an order later in the day, and half the stuff I ordered was unavailable because the store shelves weren't being restocked before closing. I was stunned. I had naively assumed that the food was coming from an Amazon-like warehouse, where they knew exactly what was in stock prior to ordering. A pretty terrible experience overall.
I expect Amazon will at some point leverage Whole Foods to build a proper food warehouse with the experience we've come to expect from Amazon Prime. The big supermarket chains better get their act together quick, before Amazon eats their lunch.

Here in SF-proper (dogpatch) there is a brick and mortar Whole Foods ~0.7 miles away, but my Whole Foods online orders get packaged from a nearby Amazon Warehouse even closer to my residence. The experience has been very good for me so far and I have no need for an Instacart-like service.
- tshaddox 6y agoDuring the beginning of the 2020 lockdowns, at least one Whole Foods location near downtown San Francisco completely closed to everyone but shoppers for delivery services. I only learned this after walking 15 minutes from my apartment to pick up some much-needed food. I don’t know how long it stayed like that.
