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
