| - So here's the deal, under normal circumstances, I really enjoy Sprouts. Good natural products section, reasonably good quality produce, and super friendly staff.
The issue? Their meat and seafood. Quite literally, the worst of all grocery stores in the valley. Bought four (4) lobster tails for $40. Was going to grill them the next day and they wreaked of bleach. It would be one thing if this were the first time. Forgiveable even. This is the third straight time I have bought meat or seafood that has either been bad or of exceptionally poor quality.
Their organic chicken breasts are shit too. Not only do they never have then in stock, but when I finally managed to grab a three pack, after I got them home and removed the wrapping, I was blown away to find stab marks in each of the breasts. Haha. As any good cook knows, too keep breasts juicy, you don't cut into them... or stab them. Makes it impossible for the juices to stay contained within the muscle fiber of the meat. They also were not trimmed well at all. There were small pieces of bone and cartilage remaining in two of the three breasts. Tons of fat as well. And the single pack of 3 small breasts was $13. It wasn't cheap meat.
So yeah, a real sketchy meat and seafood operation being run over at this location. Really disappointing. It's nice to have a grocery store so close. I don't always want to have to drive over to Whole foods and TJ's... But apparently that's my only choice.
Your loss Sprouts. Get it together before you poison somebody with your rancid fucking seafood. -Adam
