I like this place because it carries a wide variety of specialty foods. I have never liked the "organic" pricing. Organic food is grow with chemicals...let's be clear. Are they better chems? Don't know, I'm no micro-biologist, nor chemist. I can tell you that farms pay institutions that deem a food organic or not organic, in order to certify and that could be one reason that it costs more to the consumer. The produce is no better or worse than Food 4 Less but is much more expensive. I do love their vegan/vegetarian friendly foods and their employees all seem to be very at peace.
PS SHOUT OUT! White-haired lady who walks around the bulk section sticking your nasty fingers into the bins and eating out of them like a pig....THANK YOU FOR PREVENTING ME FROM EVER BUYING BULK AGAIN!!!! You are really a filthy person and you KNOW I saw you! You are old enough to know better and you ought to be ashamed of yourself...you could get a lot of people sick!
PSS Yes, I ratted on this individual and the Sprouts team took care of her. They told me that their policy was to empty each bin full that she stuck her fingers in and then refill them with new product. I felt that it was the right thing to do but it made me feel even more like that woman was just a horrible inconsiderate wretch...after all waste is a terrible thing.
