Whole Foods Alcohol order

December 17, 2023 01:17AM
I’ve been doing this for a while and was happy when scheduler reached out and asked if I was interested in an alcohol order. Of course I said yes. I’m placing the order now and can’t figure out how to order alcohol. All of the search options pulls non alcoholic options. Anyone have any thoughts? I searched exactly as listed in the guidelines.

I just finished inputting my report for my alcohol order on today's Whole Foods. My guidelines indicated no alcohol but the scheduler said to send him my receipt after the shop. I find it very difficult to find anything on their website but I was able to find alcohol alone. I separately typed in the word beer on the top of the page search bar and then on the left side of the page I selected under $10. I did the same for wine.

I had this same issue. Mine is a pick up, but I think maybe my state doesn't allow it or something. I tried everything to find alcohol. I know they don't allow alcohol delivery in my state and maybe they see pick ups as the same thing?

Nolimit, Yes we have no liquor sales on Sunday morning so I tried for a later time of day and nothing. You may be right. Did you just explain in the report that you were unable to order?

I just emailed my scheduler right away when he told me. I was preemptively doing a search. I think a lot of states have weird liquor laws, so it shouldn't count against you in any way.

To find out if it is your state law that is the problem I would recommend temporarily changing your store address to a state where you can order alcohol on a pick up...You can just choose any store in California. My store is in Santa Monica. See if you can add alcohol to your order. Dont forget to change your pick up store back after deleting that order!. I did not find a drop down for alcohol on the list of departments but when I put beer in the search bar on Amazon while ordering from Whole Foods it gave me beer.
