Food Front Cooperative Grocery

A bit pricey, but friendly & in walking distance. Great plants for sale outside. They have a little bit of everything, which makes them a great neighborhood market.

Awesome neighborhood store with staff that range from incredibly helpful to unbelievably arrogant. It's a co-op - the store is there to serve the members (owners first, the community and suppliers (i.e. farmers) next, and then the employees). When I asked about them carrying soda I was met with outrage by one employee who tried to tell me co-ops don't do that. Hey jackass, co-op doesn't equal no soda. Co-op means serving the owners, not letting the employees decide what the owners want. So many great people in this store with a wonderful history. A few employees are making it unpleasant. Employees are delving into politics as well, partnering up with a local rag newspaper to vent their anger. Every general manager at Food Front sucks. The board is all made of of idiots and a-hole. And the paper is right there to share their views. The board ARE the members - it's that simple. Too many employees seem to want this to be, or already believe it is, and employee owned store. It's not. Please stop tell the owners/members what kind of store we want. Three years ago I would have given this 5 starts. Now down to 3 just based on employee attitudes.

After waiting thirty minutes to return deposits, I asked for service a second time. I saw multiple employee's on the floor that weren't helping anyone. I waited another ten minutes outside, and was talking to myself about how their service is horrible. They claimed I threatened their employee's, and threatened me with false charges. I had heard they threaten people frequently, but didn't believe it. This business is extremely bigoted. I shouldn't feel treated like a second rate citizen when I recycle. Threatening people with legal action can ruin lives. This business should be ashamed of themselves and their actions.
