I have been shopping the grocery story & wine shop for about 15 years. I'm in the store(s) 4-5 days…read moreper week, spending roughly $500 per month between the two. I have over half a dozen friends working there, the regular staff all know my face, and I even recently interviewed for part-time work there. I do not like paying 5 cents for a plastic bag every time I swing through for a few items, so I decided to bring my own bag today. It's a messenger bag that rests on my back, no side pockets. Many customers in the store carry purses and/or reusable hand bags. All of these people have immediate access to their style of bags, whereas my messenger bag would require me to take it off my back in order to open it. As I walked by a very indiscreet undercover security member I hear a man's voice telling her via radio to keep an eye on me. I was then followed around the store for the entire visit, again very indiscreetly. I say this as someone who has worked professionally in security from bars, to retail, to IT. When I realized I forgot an item in the produce section I walked all the way back across the store, only to see a male security member come out of the back and proceed to follow me to the register. I intentionally chose a lane with a bagger, and showed him there was nothing in my bag before handing it to him. At the end of checkout the cashier asked me if I'd like to keep the 5 cents or donate it. This was new to me since I normally do self-checkout, so she explained that the 5 cents is a form of encouragement to bring my own bag. I replied to donate it, then said it was ironic considering security followed me around the entire store for wearing a bag that I was now being rewarded for bringing. She snapped at me and said "Well if you have a problem, my manager is right over there", and pointed to the self-checkout where the manager present has known me for quite some time and is always very friendly to me. Normally I decline a receipt when asked, but the cashier printed it without asking me. Seeing as I was only making an observation and not trying to escalate like the cashier was now doing, I deferred from chatting with said manager, and walked out of the store after placing my receipt into the donation box towards the Animal Humane Society like I always do. I have enjoyed the niche items that Kowalski's offers that other grocers do not, but considering these other stores sell the same common products for up to 40% cheaper, and considering the harassment by security and the poor customer service today, I will forego these niche items in favor of shopping elsewhere from this day forward.

And they can be relentless when it comes to getting butter for your bread when you sit down and eat it. No offense, but did you notice how much you're charging for bread to begin with. And the amped up amount of prices you're putting in the up scale amount you add to each retail piece on the store you should be giving away butter for free lol. It makes me uncomfortable in this store if it wasn't so convenient I would never come here. I came complained about a soup time. It was so bad. I ended up throwing it away. They didn't reimburse me nor did they ask if I wanted to try a different soup instead. Just oh well and about their business they went. Terrible customer service. I would give zero stars if it was an option!

Why am I discussing this beverage? Because it was in the small $8 Arnold Palmer at the State Fair, combined with a store-bought lemonade. I'm glad I didn't get the $15 watermelon Palmer. The grilled peach is a brilliant invention, expertly prepared for the second year in a row, and I'm not sure how many points should be taken off for something that isn't part of the day-to-day activities. But I don't want an $8 beverage that's 50% Gold Peak, especially from a place with farm-to-table vibes. I don't think state fair drinks have to be exclusively made with filtered rainwater from Grand Marais, but let customers choose whether to pay extra for the good stuff or just get a Pepsi.

I love being able to pick up the random things I need like a jar of local honey or peanut butter. It's also great because you can also do a real purposeful trip here and get pretty much everything you'd need from dairy products, produce, dry foods, meats, etc. They also have great seasonal produce, I've picked up pomegranates here and they have a huge pumpkin and squash collection! I think this is also a nice spot if you're looking for a gift, they've got some novelty things like stickers, mugs, and dish towels. Staff is always nice and there is no credit card minimum. COVID-19 Note: staff is always wearing a mask from what I've seen!

Worst customer service ever. I ordered flowers online for a religious ceremony and when the flowers…read morearrived: 1.half of them were dead. 2. I had ordered 50 grams of each type of flower and I had received less than 10 grams of each flower And when I had CALLED the store and asked regarding my order, the guy started speaking sternly and lying saying they had no extra flowers to give and that the floods had ruined all their shipments from India. He never even apologized for their mistake. They didn't even let me know earlier on that their goods would be damaged. so now I spent my money on flowers for which I am not one bit happy about. My friend went to the store that same night and told me that the store still had a large stock of the same flowers I'd ordered... If you are going to have a business here in the US, especially selling an item ( Indian flowers) that is a huge commodity within the community, you should learn to respect the customers and try to hold up your reputation so that people come back to your store. Cheating and being disrespectful to your customers is not how you lead a successful business. To the public: this isn't the first time this store has received low reviews, they have a history of being disrespectful to customers. I do not recommend this Indian store for ANYONE. for those living in Eden Prairie, there are other Indian stores from which the same grocery items are available.

I've been to many stores like this in the twin cities area, especially that are in the suburbs and comparatively, I found TBS mart to be very competitive with their prices as well as selection of items. The parking lot can get busy as it is in a busy strip with lots of other shops. Because they have an abundance of items, sometimes the store shelves seem to be too stuffed so the store seems kind of cramped. Also a fair warning to make sure to check the expiration date of any item that you pick from the dry goods isle. The freezer items, I've never had issues with but dry goods, I've had to put back at least one to two items per trip cause the item was expired. Also, check your receipt, I had to correct the cashier on more than one occasion, granted, I think he was a trainee and just fudged up. All in all, no matter the brand or item that your looking for, you'll find it at tbs mart

The holiday menus are always a good bet for the cost and the lunch bar choices make for a nice alternative to fast food in the Twin Cities. On my last grocery run, I was lucky enough to find gluten-free vanilla extract for some sweet baked goods, a great selection of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc wines, and several varieties of dilled crudités (in jars in kosher/ condiment aisles) to lay out with cheeses for a small soirée I threw together. All I needed to add was the Gavin DeGraw music and the palettes were contented that afternoon :) Cheers to Byerly's!
