Yes, nobody has ever come up to me and ask if I needed help. But that's never happened to me at the Carrot either. I honestly don't care if there is anyone here to help me. I've done my research and I know what I need/what I'm looking for. The store is large enough and usually busy enough that you can bumble, loiter, and read ingredients by yourself without feeling awkward or uncomfortable.
They have a big selection of natural beauty products (some that they don't sell anywhere else) and I actually feel like the prices are better than the Carrot (could be my imagination, oh well).
But I travel cross town to get my oils, soaps, and hair products from here.
