Kent Natural Foods — Attraction in Kent

This evening I attempted to buy locally. I drove to Kent Natural Foods to buy ground maca & ground matcha. I had to ask the young kid sitting on the stool for help finding both. They did not have pre-bagged (I prefer not to buy anything loose due to the pandemic. However, I did find a small ag of fresh ginger root. I stood in line and watched the cashier with dreads talk on his phone while a lady was trying to get a certain amount of a dried loose good. This went on for three or four weighs, yes he's still on his phone. She cashes out and he waves to me. I placed my ginger root on the counter. He rings me up & I handed him a $5 bill.

I will continue shopping here when I’m...
