LA Mart International Food - Baltimore — Local services in Baltimore

I stopped by the store to look for a few specific items in order to make a dish I was craving. I had not been in this store and quite a while, but I found that the store had not changed much from what I remember. There were two security guard standing out in front of the store dressed in black and working. As I passed the two guards talkin one was using quite a few expletives right in front of the doors to the store. I continued on into the store and again on the front door clearly indicating that people coming in wearing a mask are forbidden from being served ...LOL. I saw three people at the counter on the left when I entered the store that appear to be selling cigarettes from the counter or being customer service. I walked on into the vegetable aisle where they had quite a few vegetables and fruits that were of a decent variety. Most of the items they had appear to be okay and not wilted. The area also appears to need a little bit of cleaning and is somewhat cluttered along the aisles and throughout the store. This store has a large variety of international items that can't be found in a regular grocery store. This location had multiple number of cashiers available to check out people are buying their items in a timely fashion. The cashiers did not greet me nor were they friendly upon my approach and dealing with them during the checkout process. This is the type of store that I would only visit for those specialized items otherwise there are other places I would spend my money...

Finding products is like trying to find a needle in a big haystack. Plenty of great choices but similar items may be in different aisles (example: spices were in at least 3 aisles instead of one next to each other). Prices are okay. Typically the cashiers are friendly but not today. No one had a light on but four cashiers were at the registers. The first cashier I approached snapped I'm closed and turned her back on me. I walked back to the main aisleway and loudly said if no register is open then I guess my items are free. This must have gotten the attention of the one cashier who turned on her light. Had I not noticed this one my own I wouldn't have known she was open because no one said anything to me. When I got to her register I wasn't greeted, or asked about my shopping experience, or told the total cost of my purchase. Instead she just pointed at a screen over top of the register. Good thing I can read... lol. The only word uttered out of that cashier's mouth was gracious when she handed me the receipt. LA Mart has to do better on its customer service and organization of...
