When you visit Whole Foods in Vancouver…. you’ll get the whole experience. I have frequented this location a number of times and I can say with confidence now that I have consistently received excellent service. Here are some memorable moments.

1) One time at Whole Foods, I was torn between 2 different brands of lemonade. I approached one of the employees and asked if he had tried a particular brand. He said “no” but would be more than happy to open a bottle for me to try before I buy.

2) One time at Whole Foods, I approached a “sample table”. I had to wait for a moment as there was another customer in front of me. When it was my turn, the employee thanked me for my patience and apologized for the wait. She was knowledgeable on the product and even gave me cooking suggestions.

3) One time at Whole Foods… I was paying for my items at the checkout and realized that I forgot something. The checkout employee was pleasant and said she would hold my purchases while I go back to pick up the products. She actually closed the checkout and waited for me. Note: There was no one in line behind me and the other checkouts were not busy.
 
Stroll up to the bakery and the counter person can tell you almost all of the ingredients in any particular item. Visit the fish department, and the employee will tell you about the fresh oysters of the day. If you’re in the market for a juicy steak, go see the meat department and you will be schooled on cuts and kinds of meat that you never knew existed. 

Meandering through this meticulously kept store is like walking through a park. If you have time, if you’re in the area… take a tour though this spacious and well laid out grocery store…. it’s a pleasant and relaxing experience.

Hooray for Dumplings!

Posted by Ange On September - 11 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

You say ice cream – I scream “dumplings”! Where most households keep a staple of creamy dairy goodness in their freezers, there is a staple of “meat & veg-filled” morsels of goodness in our freezer. There are a plethora of places where you can purchase these dumplings in the city. But I am loyal to YUMMY DUMPLING in Richmond, BC. It’s a very small store – more like a kiosk inside the marketplace of Aberdeen Centre. The staff are extremely friendly. It’s easy to become overwhelmed when you are faced with a cooler full of dumpling choices. They are keen to offer suggestions and even give you a few good cooking tips. I always have a pleasant “customer experience” here…. as well as a pleasant gastronomical experience.

Thumbs Up for Yummy Dumpling!
