After visiting Page's twice within the last couple months, I decided I'd better leave a review. The first time, back in February, I stopped in for some groceries while staying at Surprise Valley Hot Springs (my room had a kitchen, and I wanted to cook). I was lucky enough to be there on a Friday, when the BBQ Rotisserie Chickens were available - SO delicious, I highly recommend trying one! The customer service was also pretty good.
This past week in April, while visiting again, I was excited to pick up a few more provisions for my stay (this time working with a stove-top only, no oven in my room). Taking my time, perusing the frozen food aisle to see what I could cook up in a skillet or pot, an employee passed me, stating matter-of-factly, "You're thinking too hard," to which I replied, "Just considering all my options!" Once I was done shopping, the lady at the checkstand started ringing me up, without so much as a "hello." After I'd boxed my own groceries with the selection they offer up front (a la Costco style), I thanked the woman and said, "Have a great rest of your day!" Her response was lukewarm at best: "ok."
Normally, details like this don't bother me, but considering how welcomed I'd felt the first time, my second visit had me feeling less likely to want to support a local business next time. Alturas has a great Grocery Outlet, with better prices AND selection. read more
