Farmers Co-op/Old Town Country Store — Attraction in Saint Peters

I have to admit I am not that good at picking out plants. Fortunately for me, Jacob the store manager helped me with the plants. Jacob went through the vegetable plants, and gave me a few tips. I was surprised how nice the plants were this late in spring. Jacob, was a really nice guy, down to earth friendly. A guy you could ask questions and not be embarrassed by your lack of knowledge.

Jacob also showed me their dog food, and then I asked him if they sold bird supplies. Yes they did. Wow.

It was so nice to go into a home town store, and talk to such a nice guy, like Jacob, and ask questions, honestly, I asked some really dumb questions. Thankfully, Jacob treated me with respect, and made me feel important. I felt like I was talking to one of my best friends, and getting really good advise. I was very happy with my purchases and enjoyed...

I’ll never go back there again! I went into the store this morning for some birdseed, took the seed to the counter and ask Jacob which register he wanted me at. He pointed to one and mumbled something.

He rang up the purchase and I handed him my credit card to pay. After running the card, Jacob tossed my card on the counter in front of me, not even handing it to me! THAT put me on the offensive but, I let it go.

Next, Jacob printed my invoice, laid it on the counter then tossed a pen on the counter in front of me to use!

I then proceeded to tell him that he had to be THE most unfriendly person I’ve dealt with in a LONG time!

I know that the loss of my business won’t hurt their bottom line but, I’ll NEVER set foot in that store again and I’ll be SURE to tell...

Prices are a bit expensive which I don't mind because it is helping local farmers. But they could be a little more friendly - one particular associate was not friendly, not welcoming, not conversive - in fact I felt like I was bothering him and he wanted to be any place but there. Felt like leaving but wanted to patronize them. Sorry -...
