A butcher cutting meat.
The butcher counter at Whole Foods offers three helpful and free standout services: custom meat cutting, poultry deboning, and the seasoning/marinating of meat.

Rather than being stuck with the cuts of meat laid out in plastic wrap, you can actually order custom cuts. This is especially helpful when it comes to cuts of roast or steak.

In addition to custom cuts of beef, you can pick out a chicken from behind the counter and have the butcher break down the chicken into pieces to cook. You can even get it deboned.
Meat being marinated.
Whole Foods' marinating and seasoning services let you pick out a cut and select the seasoning or marinade you want. The folks behind the counter can help you find the best one.
