When the storm hit and all the other stores ran out I got milk and bread at the IGA. The manager slept on the floor to keep the place open.

IGA is very community minded. They donate locally. The clerks are friendly and even funny. They are so great to have here in Carnation.

Growing tired of their expired products. On the plus side, the staff is very friendly.

It's basically the only grocery store in a small town. It's not a palace but it doesn't have to be. Staff is friendly and down to earth.

“I rarely shopped at this store when it was a QFC; it was cold and impersonal and the prices were very high.”

Arriving at Carnation Farms, not knowing what exactly might be there, I was firstly surprised to see the classic "Carnation Farms" logo with the exact font type and the carnation flower on the cans of evaporated milk that I have seen my entire life. Wait a minute, is this THE "Carnation Farms"? Well, yes, but also a no, but also a yes. LOL. I ended up reading the historical signs and chatting with the cashier for a while (there were no other customers - zero). Carnation was indeed the dairy farm that made the now world-famous evaporated milk, created in 1899. The business grew and thrived so well that the community of Tolt was renamed to Carnation in 1917 although the name changed back and forth two more times before it stayed with Carnation. In downtown Carnation, many businesses are still named Tolt, including the Tolt River. In 1985, Nestle brought the Carnation company. In 2016, the original Stuart family purchased the name "Carnation Farms" back from Nestle. The name rights exclude diary, but they have animals and is now a venue, amongst other business ventures. We missed a local market that was on the previous day. Today, this sleepy business sells many locally made products and hosts community events such as the local market. Limited bundles of produce represented the 'farm' name poorly, if I am being honest. I asked the cashier which products in the store are actually from the current farm. She pointed to the freezer case. I chose a frozen curry goat soup from the case. It was passable, more soup than goat, i.e. not much meat. If you want to visit, check their calendar of events and go for a museum tour or one of their many events. The shop itself is less interesting.

I went in for milk and bread, and as I was entering the store they had an end cap of Valentines candy 50% off. I grabbed 2 bags of kit kats and a box of Welchs valentines fruit snacks that were also located on the discount rack. I went to check out and the price she told me was more than I added in my head. I then asked her if she gave me 50% off the valentines candy? She said no the welchs wasn't on sale and asked rudely where I got it? I told her they were on the same rack as all the candy and that there was a bunch of valentines Welch's over on the end cap discounted. She then said I'll take 3.50 off very rudely like I'm trying to steal these fruit snacks. I was walking out returning my cart inside the store and she followed me and then again asked me where I got those Welch's fruit snacks? I pointed to the end cap and she basically was calling me a liar. I did call the manager and he wasn't at all surprised with her behavior. I ended up looking at the receipt and she charged me full price for the Welch's fruit snacks. I guess you win some and lose some. I will never ever go back to this store again. This woman apparently needs to retire or have her working in the backroom, she shouldn't be around the public.

She approached me twice, it's a harassment, threatened me, and called me very offensive names( I'm sure all cameras captured her approaching) At one point, I was ready to call the police, but I decided not to because she was very young, approximately the same age as my older son. I decided to report the incident to the manager, hoping they would be able to address the situation. Unfortunately, the manager also seemed powerless. They told me that the employee had already left and therefore could not apologize to me personally. Instead, the manager apologized on her behalf for her behavior. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable to me. Regardless of someone's age or circumstances, no one has the right to threaten, insult, or speak to a customer in such a disrespectful manner.
