I just had one of most unpleasant experience at this store. I came to the store around 8:50pm, and the store is supposed to close at 9pm. I was trying to go through the main entrance, and the door wasn’t opening, so I went to the side door, which also wasn’t opening automatically. Thinking the door might not function correctly, I tried to push it open. Their head clerk, named Adriana, yelled at me with most condescending tone “it is closed for a reason, GO AROUND to the other side”. It felt like she was scolding and disciplining her kid. Sure, it was wrong of me, trying to push the door open, but that was not the way to talk to your customers, especially there was not any sign, instructing the customers to use the only working door. At that time, I was extremely annoyed and after I came in from the other side (the only working door out of 3), I told her that I really didn’t appreciate the way she was treating me.

Not to mention the lack of any prepared foods (with a label) not tainted with highly processed seed oils. Even Whole Foods has the sense to include a handful of such options.

In an age in which purity not of character but of cuisine is the emphasis, sins such as this are difficult to overlook or even understand. It appears sloppy at best and careless at worse, as if whoever is at the wheel here fell asleep decades ago.

Otherwise though the store itself is lovely, the employees responsive, and the options outside the prepared foods exemplary. My advice: come for the pastries, not...
