The Veggie Bin — Local services in Charleston

I have been shopping at the store for over five years, the guy that works there is usually is so nice. Last week I had an experience where I was overcharged by a few dollars. The cashier was very dismissive and put off by me requesting a refund. She told me that the manager would take care of it after a week of waiting , I finally called, no one called me back.. so went into the store today. The manager was very cold towards me, she was put off and never apologize for anything… nope, just cold and dismissive, as I was getting ready to purchase some items she told me that they don’t refunds so that what I was purchasing, a salad and tomato there was no charge..

Visiting from Boston, we stopped by the Veggie Bin and asked the clerk for local recommendations. Later, as we passed by, we saw her closing up—and to our surprise, she had handwritten two pages of must-see spots, complete with thoughtful details on why we’d love them. Her suggestions were absolutely spot on! Thanks to her, we discovered incredible hidden gems we never would have found on our own. She truly made our trip unforgettable! I even laminated her list to share with anyone heading to Charleston. Stop by the Veggie Bin—the produce is amazing, and the staff is...
