I now know about service, it sucks.
I was looking for a few things and asked an employee if they had them and if so where do I find it?
One item was bulgur wheat. The person I asked did not seem to understand my question, so I spelled it out for her. She had never heard of it and said if we have it , it will be out there somewhere as she pointed in the general direction of the whole store.
On to the next question. Do you have crystallized ginger. She said it is in the produce department. I said I do not want fresh, but crystallized. She looks at me and once again said I do not know, I never heard of it.
My thought not expressed was, well dumb ass ask someone who might know. But this seems to have been a foreign concept to her as she made no move to do so.
I pick up a few other things I needed and had several more to find.
That being dill, no dill. Another being mint. Oh they had mint alright, it is called live mint it has three leaves on it with stems leading to a root ball. I was kind of looking for mint that can be used today.
I continued on looking for items and could not find half of them,
Knowing my level of frustration and what happens when I reach the top of it; I figured I better get out of this place before I do something really stupid. So I left and went to Safeway and they had everything I needed with great service in finding what I could not.
This is my last visit to sprouts, it has been a frustrating place to shop for a long time now and I would be even more dumb than folks think I am if I continued repeating these experiences.
