I been shopping at Organic Food Depot Norfolk location for over 10 years. I moved to VB and was happy to see it was another location available for me to shop.
I often use reusable bags to purchase my items and while shopping when I first visited the store some months I felt that I was being watched I didnāt care for it but just brushed it off paid for my items.

Ā Ā Ā Read morewas hung up on twice when I inquired of positions within the establishment, as help wanted signs were posted. The owner hung up on me, in which during the second call and stated verbatim, "We only hire people who know how to use the phone." I am profoundly taken aback by the unprofessionalism, and lack of customer service as it is pertaining to answering and addressing inquiries via phone. I can assuredly say, I would never work for any employer that would exemplify their professionalism in this way; not to mention purchasing any goods there. One star does not begin to express my experience: ZERO...
