I've never shopped there, so I'm only…read morecriticizing the inept employee who I spoke to on phone about my friend who suffers from dementia. I was looking for my friend and was able to reach him via cellphone, I told him to go into the closest store for help which happened to be health food & vitamin city. I asked my friend to hand over the phone to the only employee there so I could get a bearing on his location, I was coming from Glendale Queens NY to try and get him. I tried to explain to the employee that my friend suffers from mental issues, to please keep him there while I arrived. When I got to the store about 15 minutes later, my friend was gone. The store employee said he wanted to get to 14 st subway, so he let him go. He was found by the police in LI CITY Queens the following morning. The employee's Humanitarianism wasn't present. The store was closing, not his problem

    If you've lived as long as I have in Chelsea, a walk down any block prompts memories for what used…read moreto be in any given storefront. That used to be a long-loved video rental! This used to be sweet bistro where many days and nights were shared with friends. This particular storefront is even more rare because it's not a chain and is open late, for the way working folk have needed to live here for a long time. It's not Whole Foods or Vitamin Shoppe (or whatever that chain's named), but a humble spot where the selection of vitamins, herbs, topicals and a few pantry staples probably contains exactly what you're looking for. Ask any of my neighbors what they think about your cough, sniffle or dry skin, and they'll tell you, "Go see the vitamin guy on 23rd." And you should. Because for years, he's dispensed sound counsel to a number of us whose needs aren't easily addressed by either of those aforementioned chains or that chain pharmacy who makes you summon a worker to unlock some dental floss. I'd been recovering from RSV when my husband stopped by the Vitamin Guy and told him about my lingering cough and shallow breathing. He brought home some Olbas syrup and a tincture containing a melange of herbs, half of which I was familiar as a TCM patient for a number of years. Within week one I was feeling great relief. A neighbor who'd been hit with the same condition went and had his own chat and relief success story a week after me, and unprompted, said, "Vitamin Guy saved me again!" This is but one of many ways Vitamin Guy's helped me, my husband and many neighbors over 18 years. Go see him the next time you're wondering what you can do about whatever's ailing you; he probably has some sound advice to share, and you'd be keeping the lights on amid the many otherwise darkened storefronts that don't exactly inspire confidence around greater Chelsea.

I trusted that I was being charged correctly. Big mistake. I asked for the receipt to be sent electronically, and when I later reviewed it, I discovered that the quantities charged for certain items did not match what I actually purchased. I was charged for quantities I did not take home. I contacted Amazon expecting a simple correction. Instead, I was told they would need to "start an investigation," interview the cashier, and contact me during the investigation. Give me a break. I just spent $415 on groceries. I should not have to spend more of my time participating in an investigation because their checkout was inaccurate. That is what makes this particularly unacceptable. With a $400+ grocery purchase, it is practically impossible to verify dozens of items and quantities while standing at a busy checkout. Customers naturally assume that if they buy one item, they will be charged for one--not two or three. You discover the discrepancy later, and suddenly correcting their mistake becomes your burden. Be aware and check your receipt carefully. Do not be as naive as I was in simply trusting that the quantities were entered correctly. And frankly, considering how busy I am, I will very likely not shop at this Whole Foods again. Grocery shopping is supposed to save me time, not create an investigation and another chore because I trusted the store to charge me accurately. There are plenty of places where I can spend $415 on groceries without having to audit my receipt afterward.
