If you're looking for a cool local option for groceries, this is not the place. I'd been disappointed with its weird product organization, and their lack of some basics, and the long period between re-stocking things that run out. Those things often occur in such local joints of small towns. And then I was puzzled and disappointed by the low quality of their produce, which you'd think would be superior to large chains, having access as they do to farms within a mile or 2. Still, I wouldn't have written a review on that account. I did notice the managers yelling at employees from across the store, which almost got me here.
But finally, the attitude of management toward their customers was the last straw when COVID came around. They were the last store in the area to implement any measures to address potential safety issues with customers, only requiring masks when the state forced them to, and STILL, some employees refuse to use them. I get it. I know that some people feel politically determined not to "conform" to public safety measures, even in extreme times. I wouldn't be surprised if it might even be a marketing choice, thinking that the defiance might attract locals of a more frothing, libertarian sensibility. The manager clearly holds this stance, brashly yapping in the face of customers, caring less of how vulnerable they might be to what she's spewing, or of whether these people might then go home to people whose immune systems could be compromised. I know of 2 people who have died of this disease, and it seems wildly irresponsible to be brandishing your misguided notions of personal freedom at the peril of all those who have contact with all those who go through your check-out line. Just so you can make a political statement. This is the reason this disease is still around, and why our businesses have to remain closed -- petulant people who DGAS about others.
Signs posted right in front of the mask-less worker state in bold letters that they are being "forced" to require their employees to enforce public policy in order to avoid having their business license revoked. Not because they care about the health of their patrons. I'm sure that many loyal customers shop at this place just to support her political posturing. I hope they enjoy their moldy onions and rotten avocados. I can't shop at this spot anymore. read more
