As many times I have been at this outdoor shopping center, I never knew they had a GNC here. My husband and I had to stop in to cancel an automatic shipment of an item (Instaflex). I have no idea how GNC got a hold his new VISA debit card number. A notification of a shipment of Instaflex forthcoming and a charge on his card was sent to my e-mail address. My husband told me that he did not want the item anymore. Thus, a visit to this business was necessary. The female employee assisting us took care of us with no further questions. She did not try to convince us to continue with future automated shipments and further charges on the debit card. One thing I don't like is a pushy salesperson or sales representative. Before we left, she told us that an e-mail confirmation to cancel would be forthcoming. I received the confirmation immediately (4:12 PM). Thanks to the employee for helping us out.

I called another store and they told me straight up she is refusing to do the return because she is protecting her stores sales numbers. She was extremely upset when she finally gave in to do the return. I didn't give a fuck to be honest. She wanted me to come back a couple days later or go back to the original store where I purchased the products.

Apparently, lots of vendors display their works here so there is plenty of variety from clothes, cards, crystals, jewelry, pottery, hats, books, bags and more. If you can't find something here for yourself, a loved one, a gift to a non loved one or your home then you won't find it anywhere!!! We walked out of there with a little guy made from obsidian, a stone for protection and to ward of negative energy. Not sure about that since Indians used obsidian to make arrowheads for hunting. Still cool little guy!!!! Next door to Vinyl Wine Bar so after you loosen up yoir wallet with a couple bottles of wine be sure to browae and buy here.

I purchased a cute little guy made out of obsidian - we've named him Cidian - a rock that is supposed to protect from negative energies. And if you knew half of what I deal with day-to-day, you would know just how much need this protection. I might stock up on these. Will definitely return in any event for additional items for myself or others. Nice shop, glad to have it in Alameda.

A poor experience. I ordered online where they claimed to offer a BOGO discount. I went to pick up…read morethe items and was told my order was canceled because they did not have the turmeric tablets (that showed in stock). They had OTHER turmeric tablets though. Could I buy those? Sure. Would I get the BOGO discount? "Oh no, that's for online orders only." Later that night I got an email saying my order was canceled , they had neither of the items in stock. Offer discount, cancel the order, sell at full price once the customer arrives. Not a great business model, GNC.

One time is okay, but when I pushed back the second time he told me it was his job as a salesman to keep pointing out the flaws in the product that his store actually sells! I told him about the concept of selling past the sale, and then I gave him a lesson in it by walking out and ordering the product for $10 cheaper on Amazon. I would have bought it every week from GNC due to convenience, but not if I have to be sold to that way.

Let me start with those sunflower and date cookies that are supposed to be "freshly baked." Not so. Stale as can be! And the store refused to take them back or offer a refund or store credit. The "organic" white and yellow popcorn. STALE! I tried 3 different methods of popping with stale results all 3 times. Staff's reaction? Defensiveness and no offer of a reasonable solution...had to "match" the price to another item of the same value. Ridiculous. Honestly, I thought I was in Farmer Joe's for a minute! Finally, that bulk "large flake" yeast can be sketchy looking. Strange dark blotches of who-knows-what mixed in. This I did not take back...I just threw it out. Never shopping there again...I detest rude and unfriendly staff at a business where I'm spending my sparse, fixed income money!
