Market Cocina - Bellevue

Mostly rude and unhelpful staff. First they refused to open my oysters, refused to bag my groceries correctly and the bag broke and I lost several items, refused to cut cartilage off the 33.00 a pound fresh king salmon that I bought, wanted to sell me uneatable parts, and the produce guy did not know anything about the white asparagus for 6 bucks a pound, not if it was organic, how it was grown, NOTHING! The manager supports this type of behavior and is one of the rudest of all the employees there. He could not carry on a conversation and supported GMO's. Stated that Whole Foods carries some GMO's products. REALLY??!! When did this occur? Ever since Amazon took over Whole Foods, the quality and customer service has gone out the window, but I have NEVER seen it this bad in all of the 36 years I have been shopping at their stores and in various states too. This is by far the worse store I have ever shopped in. The manager Shawn was supportive of the rude staff, well NOW I know why the store is so poorly run, because there is an incompetent store manager that they should fire. He treated me, a 65 year old woman like a piece of garbage. He actually walked me out of the store and threatened me should I return. REALLY? I don't intimidate easily by a younger person disrespectful of older people. I will get his job. No way am I going to be treated like this.

The store went into the crapper after Amazon took over the chain (which is ironic because this is the store that’s closest to the Bezos’ family residence in the Seattle area). They dramatically reduced the variety of products sold and keep it poorly stocked. Aisles are bare. Prepared food is prepared poorly. It’s like a hurricane is coming, the way it’s picked over.

Had in a doctor's appointment in Bellevue today got up there early decided to go to whole foods for a lunch. They have quite the food options available. Made to order items sandwiches quinoa bowls rice bowls lots. Also salad bars hot food bars lots and lots of options should be able to find whatever you would want there.

Employees at this store needs an attitude adjustment. In one day the cheese lady seemed annoyed that I could not find something. The cupcake lady did not want to give me a box. Another time the butcher was rather aloof too. Check out went smoothly as I used the self checkout lane.

This was the first time I've ever been in a Whole Foods, and from all of the hype I expected something... I found it well I guess forgetable.
