New Seasons Market

to ""jim k"", buddy, if you knew the half of what really goes on behind that meat counter, you would really flip out! and it's tools like you we love to mess with the most! what's the matter, you didn't get your $2 worth of pepperoni stix fast enough? and it seems with all your keen sherlock holmsian observational skills, you missed the fact that i spell my name with a ""c""-marc, not a ""k"". and your obvious attempts to get me discharged failed. now, isn't there some gay internet porn you should be watching? more

Happy Valley store Since the vitamin supplement area has been moved to the front of the store there seems to be no customer service in that area. The people who are there seem to be annoyed if you interrupt them with a question they just give you a brief answer and a quick brush off. Since the vitamins and supplements at New Seasons cost more then at other stores I will no longer buy my vitamins there. more

I'm generally a fan of New Seasons, I've been to 5 of their stores and have almost always had good experiences, BUT... Happy Valley's employees desperately need an attitude check. The meat dept. is the worst, most of the guys back there are disrespectful (to the customer's faces), sloooow, and think that it's charming to gloat about getting the weight of the meat close to what you ask for. It's not charming, it's your job. However, I wouldn't be driven to write this review if the aforementioned was the only problem I had with them. So, here's the clincher: I recently ordered some meat and the meat guy used his bare hands to retrieve it from the cooler... then he touched his nose, then he touched the scale, then he touched the meat again, then he touched a different kind of meat, his dirty apron, the scale, etc, etc, etc. That ain't right. Rudeness I'll take but please don't handle my meat with your dirty hands. To be fair, Happy Valley isn't all bad - there are many other things that commend this store; an excellent produce section, an incredibly diverse deli, a lovely bakery, and large selection of canned/prepared foods. If the manager reads this (or anyone else who cares) the meat guy's name was Mark. more

I go to New Seasons for their wide selection of organic and natural products. However, the customer service, particularly at checkout, leaves a lot to be desired. I'd say 50% of the time I get rude and inconsiderate service upon checkout. For example, there are instructions next to conveyor belt at checkout that one should unload his/her basket. Most of the time after I've unloaded an item or two, the cashier immediately activates the conveyor belt, moving my basket away from me and preventing me from unloading the rest. One time I mentioned the apparent mixed messages, and was told in a sarcastic tone, ""life is tough."" This last time the cashier (female) looked at me blankly and nodded her head up and down several times after I pressed the ""confirm payment"" button when paying with credit card....and we were not conversing. Strange. Fred Meyer on Johnson Creek has better customer service in my experience, cheaper prices, and less attitude. Sorry New Seasons, but you're a far cry from the ""friendliest store in town."" Pros: Wide variety of atural and organic produce Cons: Customer Service leaves a lot to be desired more

I love this store. From the samples and coffee available as you enter to the great selection of wine and beer. New Seasons has everything I need at one location. The best part is it's all fresh, mostly local and they make an effort to provide organic foods and reasonable prices. Granted, some of the veggies and meats can be spendy, but you get what you pay for. Meals can be eaten right on the spot and the employees are always helpful and friendly. Pros: Great selection and service Cons: Some items can be pricey more
