H-E-B — Local services in Burnet

The people really enjoy helping you at HEB, I usually go to my fav on Burnet. There's reliable produce, and a good range of everything you need for everyday life.

They carry local made, like Easy Tiger sourdough 🍞 which a friend who makes his own sourdough recommended. Week later, I bought some ordinary 🍞, because you know half the price. Two bites in, what?! 🤪compared to the good stuff it seemed oddly soft, sticky and sweet. Nah, straight to compost (starting vermiculture, they like little bits of everything plant source except citrus and onions). No kidding, I get two loaves of the whole wheat with ancient grains added, leaving only half a loaf out because mold loves the good stuff too. Most into gallon freezer ziplock bags so I never run out.

And quart of White Mountain 8 strain pure yogurt. (I repurpose the quart glass jars, no PFAS to hold my own iced mocha and herbal teas.) Good to hold things together for sandwich spread or salad dressing. Like you take a tablespoon of it, add shredded cheese, some sliced green olives or pickles, chopped walnuts, paprika, a big pinch of oregano, maybe ancho chile. And black pepper you ground yourself. --Go watch "flavcity" chef Bobby Parrish short videos for why. Splash of single source olive oil - watch "genius tomato" vids for why single grower instead of the kinds from several random countries. Something green and crunchy, lettuce or 🥒.

Now add anything you want on there, it'll taste better than spending several dollars at a franchise. And if you're into healthspan (Google it) much better too, because who cares about your body more, the person living in it or a fast food company. The grocery store is where you control what goes into you, optimize the experience & the effects on every system.

Upgrade to that grain mustard from Canada in the little glass jar, yes it's spendy but like the bread so much better you'll wonder 🤔 why does the regular kind even exist.

And try the HEB house brands like herbal "tea", I use to make blends for people and theirs are on par with...

I like to come to H-E-B because the prices are better than anywhere else, but every time that I come to make a payment, they never know how to take my payment. I always have to explain everything over and over again. I make payments here to 21st mortgage and I make it like every week instead of once a month they always have kids there instead of a little bit more older people they know how to do the stuff I’m not against kids working it’s fine but I mean come on. I’m making a payment. What about if they put something wrong and the kid didn’t even knew how to do it. I had to tell him step-by-step. I had to tell him like I put my number in the machine and then it my information will come up and then you have to give me the little ticket so I can confirm that everything is fine while my information and where everything is going and then you print it in and you take my payment. like I’m doing his job and I asked nicely to this manager. that win and stand right there beside me if she could help the kid because he was getting frustrated because he was asking me for a code to get into his computer and I’m like I don’t have that code you guys supposed to have it. I only put my number and they get all my stuff. I understand because he can’t take that payment but she said to me, he will come up with a idea how to do it ma’am I just turn around. I was like why are you talking to me like that? You can come over here and tell him how to do the payment before putting him There. Why would you throw someone to do a work a job if he hasn’t been teach to do it, of course he’s not gonna know how to do it. At the end, the kid had to call someone over the phone to tell him how to take my payment having a manager ride...

The really big thing about this store is that it's not an HEB plus store so it's small and doesn't have enough space to stock everything that the big stores have. Right now they are doing a lot of construction on this store and they don't have my Silk unsweetened Almond milk and that's really frustrating because the HEB brand isn't good. Update: I also visited this store on September 7, 2023 and tried to get a prescription from the pharmacy but the person in front of me stayed at the pharmacy register for 20 minutes while I was the next person in line. My ice-cream turned into liquid while I waited and the line of people was so long that noone else came to help. A manager came and did nothing while we waited forever in line. I got tired of waiting and had to go. When I was checking out at the front register, Kapree was checking me out and when I told her about my experience in the pharmacy she was very rude and rolled her eyes at me and made rude comments to me. It was 4:02 pm. My mom retired from HEB and my sister was a Dell manager and a store director for HEB and I also worked at HEB and we would never treat customers like that or make them wait in line for 20 minutes. This store doesn't even have crushed tomatoes. HEB has really gone down the drain. I wouldn't recommend this...
