Yes and this thread was started prior to the change asking us only to order 365 so if you are new to shopping this market it is much more restrictive than it used to be. So in the thread other brands are mentioned however I personally have not gone off brand since a few months ago they have asked that we order only 365. And I did check the guidelines and they have been changed as well telling us we have to order 365 unless they are totally out of stock.
A few months ago I discovered my store has a 365 brand of mozzerella that is fresh rather than the tasteless blocks that all look the same. Glad to find that for a change. I do not know about everyone else but the "search" in my store really does not work. If i search for fresh beef I get 23 pages of anything they sell that has the smallest amount of beef flavoring in it and many items with no beef at all. The actual beef is scattered with one item on each page. I am thinking someday I will walk into the store and see what they actually have and make a list so I can target those items. My store is small so has less variety than others.

I did this for over a year but recently got kicked because schedule Matt Liasle threw a hissyfit. He's done this 3 times already to me. He is extremely unprofessional and unstable. I was going to write up a complaint but frankly its not worth it with that headcase

There's also 1/2# rounds of 365 packaged cojita cheese and queso fresco that I've been ordering wi thout issue. Might have to go looking for the fresh mozzarella. ..

The "fresh" kind of near fresh. Not like the cheese floating in water but not the plasticy block of mozz they sell. It comes in a round package. Last time they subbed out the mozz and sent me mozz medalians which were little flat circles floating in water but they did not have much flavor. They prob would not qualify as not a block but they were not tasty. I will look for the other cheeses. I think my store may have feta but i was afraid it was not solid enough but if cojita passes then feta should as well.
If anyone has gotten by ordering english muffins let me know. To me they are sliced bread but the word muffins to someone who does not eat them means a sweet bread so???

Several people have asked what company has Whole Foods but no one has answered. Why the Gatekeeping? Will someone please just share?

My store never has ground anything so I order stew beef which can be ordered for a half pound. It does not come up when you search for beef or meat. Try searching for stew beef to see. The last time they had no stew beef I was given permission to order another $$ cut that had a 1 lb minimum. If there is no packaged there meat at all even with a 1 lb min email your scheduler and ask for permission to either get a pound or ask what you should do. The scheduler always gets back to me quickly on these types of questions,

Mine literally is showing no beef in stock or pork, or turkey, etc.

I had recalled you mentioning stew beef before and that isn't coming up either. No steaks, no roasts, no beef. Only vegetarian meat options are coming up.

Wow no ground anything that’s something! When the project first started they were always out of the counter but they always substituted it with a better quality in a 1 lb pack so I was quite happy.
