Whole Foods

In an effort to write a little more frequently, I am going to try to comment briefly on things that hit me in the world of customer service.

Whole Foods is an exciting store, but you have to pay for it. I love going there to eat their free sample strawberries and other fresh stuff, but as a store I cannot (or do not want) to afford it. I affectionately refer to the store as Whole Paycheck.

However, today the store impressed me!

Today is national bike to work day. On my normal daily bike commute today, I came upon a Whole Foods tent in the middle of the bike path. The first thing the guy said to me was "come help us eat". I stopped and grabbed an apple, a local bike map, and watched a guy help a woman fix her bike. I was struck by the small effort that Whole Foods made here to support the local bike community. To me, this represented their effort in trying to support the community in being healthy and to support the world by reducing gas consumption.

I appreciated it...
