A few days ago I walked in and the entrance was covered in garbage and inside the store was no better. I called and spoke with a manger but she blames it on the "local workers", saying they were messy instead of taking the responsibility for her store being dirty. It was pretty disappointing that she made a slightly racist comment. The workers never want to help and seem to wander around aimlessly on their phones. I'm not trying to shame anyone at all but a lot of the clothes the workers wear are pretty dirty looking and don't even look like they want to be there at all. There was a worker saying he didn't even want to be there, which is silly to say so loudly in front of customers. Maybe they don't, but maybe customer service isn't for them then, and maybe the managing should be doing a better job at managing.

In September, my friends and I spent a fabulous weekend in Osoyoos/Oliver touring the wineries. In…read moreorder to save money (which I spent all on wine!), and because our accommodations had a kitchen, my friends and I decided to purchase groceries and make our own meals, instead of eating out. Being practical (as well as the only girl in our group of four), I suggested that we purchase groceries in Vancouver and bring them with us. But my friend, who had been to the area earlier in the summer, said it wasn't necessary, that there was a grocery store nearby. However, he didn't mention it was a Buy-Low, and I stupidly assumed is was a Safeway, or some other decent grocery store. My friend also said that he had checked the store hours, and they close at 9pm. We rushed from Vancouver in order to make it by 9pm, and arrived at 8:15pm, and saw a big sign outside stating that the store closes at 8pm. Luckily we had had a quick bite to eat a few hours earlier at some crappy food court in some sad mall on our way to Osoyoos, because it turned out that there were no grocery stores open past 8pm; the nearby pub stopped serving food at 10pm (we arrived there at 10:15pm); and the nearby pizza place wasn't open, despite it being a Friday night. Anyway, we went to Buy-Low the next day, and while we were able to purchase what we needed, the food was expensive! Maybe it was because the store was in Osoyoos, the middle of nowhere, but the prices were much higher than even Safeway! Decent selection of items, but the with the high prices and short operating hours, it was like shopping in Reykjavik (although Reykjavik had one 24 hour grocery store, while the other one closed at 6pm).

This Buy-Low is THE secret to a great Osoyoos vacation!…read more Fools that we are, we assumed that (as in our own neighborhood) the Buy-Low was the discount, not-very-good grocery store. In fact, it's by far the best grocery shop we've discovered in these parts...so good that if it were in Vancouver, it's probably where we'd shop. Like the name promises, it's a well-priced source of all the essentials. But it also has an excellent produce department, a wide assortment of (mostly conventionally raised) meat and fish, a remarkably eclectic bakery and a really great range of East Indian (and to a lesser extent, Asian and Mexican) foods. We found everything from buffalo mozzarella (several kinds!) to gluten-free baking supplies to delicious spanish cookie/cracker things (Rosales tortas) that have a cult following on the internet, but which we'd never previously discovered. If you're in Osoyoos, start your shopping here.

We loaded up on stuff to feed a bunch of wedding-goers for a few days; we got starchy stuff, vegetables, sparkling water, condiments, and so on. Prices are a little higher than most stores, but the quality is fine. They don't have specialty items like deli sandwiches and charcuterie and stuff like that, but all the staples are available, and the butcher section is spot on. Lots of local, carefully-raised stuff from ranches in the area. We thought we would have to pack in everything we were going to eat, but were able to pick up most of what we needed right in town.

As a famous Earth psychoanalyst once said, "sometimes an IGA is just an IGA". (At least I think…read morethat's what he said; there are some dead pixels on my reading pad, so it's possible I missed some letters.) At any rate, this statement is completely incorrect. (Yet another reason to be skeptical about the human approach to psychotherapy. For heaven's sake, their therapists aren't even telepathic!) Or at least, inaccurate -- at least in this instance. For the Winthrop Evergreen IGA is NOT just an IGA. For those Starfleet personnel who have yet to experience an IGA, let me explain that in general, an IGA is a functional but unexceptional retail environment in which humans acquire routine foodstuffs. And certainly, that is possible here. But this IGA improves on the usual model by offering a solid selection of locally produced goods. That includes a shelf full of soaps, coffees and other local delicacies. It also includes a produce section that clearly flags seasonal items from local farms. For those of us here on research missions, that is a huge time-saver. The Evergreen IGA is an excellent place for Starfleet personnel to satisfy their nutritional requirements. It is also a surprisingly useful place to satisfy their curiosity about the products of the Methow Valley.

It's the only grocery option in town which may be why they don't strive for the highest quality,…read morethe best service, lower prices, nor the most interesting selection. One frustrating aspect is that they close at 7 or 8 pm, depending on the time of the year. aak! Even more frustrating is when you show up at 6:45 and they have already shut down the produce section and then turn off the store-wide lights on you. hint-hint, yeah. I get it. This is the worst! Nothing says "I come first, the customer comes second" than having the establishment run people out BEFORE the stated closure time. The first question that comes to mind here is, "don't you want my money??" but then I realize there is zero competition so you end up with some of it anyway... The staff are largely, individually, friendly, I'll give them one extra star for that.
