Stein's market could use more organic items for me. I do go to Stein's, because I liked the space in the aisles. I must confess I do 95% of my grocery shopping in Kalispell, as I am sure a large portion of Eureka does. I also shop for organics at heavens peak health food store.
I do hope that everything works out for the folks at Stein. I was there a couple weeks ago my cream cheese was left out of my day, I called immediately and the girl ask. The gals who had checked me out and they said there was no cream cheese left on the counter. Therefore, I was made to feel as if I was lying, I have the receipt that I paid for the cream cheese. It's not in my bag, the gal on the phone made me feel like I was lying. I suppose a lot of people get home and eat the cream cheese, and then Call in saying it was not in the bag so they can get another one.
I understand this. But the fact is that I did not get my cream cheese and either went in someone else's bag or back on the shelf. The manager came to the phone, and after I said, who I was and put a face to the name, she said to come down with my receipt and get my cream cheese, I felt like I was the one who did something wrong. When I first called, I was very nice, I was not blaming, I simply wanted to tell them right away that the cream cheese was missing. I still have not got the cream cheese, I just let it go. My point to this story is that, this store must've been taken advantage of a lot, and therefore is very mistrusting, so make sure that all of your items are in your bag before you leave the store, the old days of trusting people when they call and say it's not my bag are over.
I have heard people say that they love the new products is Stein. That's wonderful, but for me, I find no organic drinks, I find no organic produce, no organic snacks and for me personally, I need a healthier variety, so unless I am out of chocolate soy milk, there is nothing else I can get at Stein.
The gals and guys at Steins are very nice, but I just cannot find the product I want, healthy choices, awesome ice cream... things like that....
UPDATE Spring 08 - the new Steins will have an Organic Produce section for now you can special Order Organics at Steins, fresh Wonderful Organic Produce..
