I used to use Vitamin Shoppe quite a few years ago, but once I moved to Washington, I used a local vitamin shop and stopped using them. I try to stay away from GNC as they always try to push that damn card on me. (No I don't want that card that I can only use on the their Thursday of the month between 8-830 in the morning when I am at work). Anyway, I needed some vitamins so I decided to stop in the I was greeted promptly and left alone for a little bit then I was asked if I needed help. I let the lady know I what I was looking for and she narrowed down some choices for me. They had the same brand of vitamins I took in Washington so bingo, that's what I got. Very helpful and courteous. I guess I'm back to using Vitamin Shoppe.
