The manufacturing JIT model may not work in a grocery environment...

In Venezuela this would be a bonanza.

Why does the San Francisco store have doors protecting the food?

Never mind. Please don’t answer that. I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know.

It looks like their “just-in-time” delivery, isn’t.

Wow - like a flashback to Soviet “supermarkets”. Perhaps Amazon will start another new policy of endless lines and ration coupons.

Venezuela would love that selection!

Yes, the margins are low in grocery, but 'whole paycheck' had a great niche. They seem to be driving customers away. Sprouts is a great place to buy food.

JIT inventory control is clearly not working well for them.

Whole Foods stores in Chicago metro suburbs raised their prices to suburbanites in order to subsidize a Whole Foods store opened in Chicago south side, high crime neighborhood to prevent that store going out of business.

One opened in October where I am. Floppy carrots, green potatoes and plenty of jackfruit but no garlic. A disaster and with their pricing, it’s almost always empty.
