Whole Foods report as requested

Posted by David (aka David) Mar 28 '20, 16:06

We ordered five items, four of which are hard to get.

Since meat has been in short supply here, we ordered:

Steak

Hamburger

Lean hamburger

I like fried potatoes, so we also ordered five pounds of potatoes. And Kim got a small thing of ice cream.

Amusingly, all of the meat got delivered. We had substitutions on the potatoes and ice cream.

The packaging was so good that Kim thought her ice cream had similar shape to a pillow we got the other day.

Delivery window was 6-8 pm. We had our stuff at 6:36. I could view the delivery person's location on a map online. Also, I received a text when they were in the area and another after the packages were dropped off.

Highly impressed. A+.

This just became our go-to system for getting food in the short term. I heartily encourage all of you to try it.

I haven't been able to get a delivery window in 5 days for Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh, Amazon Pantry or Amazon. Meanwhile, everything keeps disappear -- (edited) - jnine Mar 28, 16:18 1
- I can't imagine what it's like for those of you in major metropolitan areas. Sorry. :( -- nm - David Mar 28, 16:21
Who operates the delivery? Actually whole foods or instacart etc? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 28, 16:11 5
- Since Amazon owns Whole Foods it might be in house (Amazon employees). The tracking thing is cool. We don't have that. -- nm - zunkskunk with the bad take Mar 28, 16:18 2
  - It was fascinating. I watched the person make about eight stops ahead of us. - David Mar 28, 16:19 1
    - I ordered stuff a week ago that came yesterday. I got a notice I was 8 stops away, he was on the corner of my street, which isn't very big. He must - jnine Mar 28, 16:32
- I never saw them so I'm honestly not sure. Google indicates that Whole Foods and Insta stopped being partners a while back, though. -- nm - David Mar 28, 16:14 1

Went to normal supermarket yesterday. Plenty of meat. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 16:09 2
- Ours was pretty good. They've set 2 of anything per person rule. Which sucks with two older teen boys. Still no TP though. -- nm - VMan Mar 28, 16:17
- I was at Target today...and it wasn't like that. -- nm - David Mar 28, 16:15

I thought you were out of bacon. Because if that was the case you would have ordered bacon. -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 16:08 2
- Kim claims to have the bacon hookup coming. -- nm - David Mar 28, 16:13 1
  - What is she bribing Nathan with this time? Get the bacon from your freezer and here is the Animal Crossing game -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 16:21
what are substitutions on the potatoes? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 28, 16:08 3
- Parsnips -- nm - VMan Mar 28, 16:14
- Lima Beans -- nm - Pippy-with a side eye Mar 28, 16:13
- potato chips -- nm - Bacon Mar 28, 16:08
What did they substitute the potatoes for? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 16:07 1
- More organic potatoes. But I only got three pounds rather than five at the same price. -- nm - David Mar 28, 16:12
