*Blueberry Fields Forever*
Thank you, Kristine, the best store manager.
Was in the area the other day and planned on stopping here on my way back west, specifically for two 18oz packages of Organic Blueberries which were on sale.
I eat blueberries every morning with my breakfast - even though I love them, they're packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamin C & K, they're good for bone health and very heart healthy.
Problem being, they're expensive, and If I had to pick one food I buy most often & spend more money than any other item, it's fresh organic blueberries...so every week I make it a point to find grocery stores with the best deals & sales (there's a great app called "Flipp" that I use for this)
I purposely came here because it was the last day of the sale, and that's when I stock up for the week. But there were none and the display where they belong were stocked with cherries. I looked around to find someone (even though I pretty much knew they had no more blueberries) and saw someone unboxing & restocking other produce so I nicely inquired if they had anymore. She asked a guy on the other side of the section, who said "we're out of blueberries." Then when I nicely expressed how I stopped there just for those organic blueberries, she offered to honor the sale price for different organic blueberries. I thanked her and asked her name, she said Kristine.
When I thanked her again, I asked who's the manager so I can compliment her and let them know how awesome & accommodating she was. Then Kristine informed me she was/is the store manager and thanked me for the kind words.
What I''m even more impressed with is how their store manager was in the produce section helping out the other two guys who were already unboxing and restocking. Not only is/was Kristine friendly and customer service driven, she was helping out her team like a great manager & leader does.
I really hope corporate reads these reviews because you need more store managers & people like Kristine because she's exceptional and an exemplary employee & team player.
Because of my experience with Kristine, I intend to comeback here again when in the area, despite the difficult parking lot situation (as I read others have mentioned) and also the difficulty of entering & exiting their two separate parking lots (on the corner of a very busy intersection) depending on the direction you're coming & going. read more
