I walked into Big Trees Market at 6:50 PM last night (3/31) to grab a few quick items. There were…read morestill multiple customers shopping--completely normal. At 7:01, an announcement came on saying the store had been closed for one minute and to head to the register. Totally fair. I needed one more thing from produce so I hurried- another announcement at 7:02 said to "stop shopping- we are closed" I grabbed my last item and went up front. By 7:03, I was already being checked out. And yet the reaction from staff was... unbelievable. There were several employees standing at the front just staring at me--clearly irritated, like I'd personally ruined their evening. It was three minutes past closing. Not 30. Not 15. Three. Then it somehow got worse. They were out of bags (understandable), so I asked if I could use the hand basket to carry my items to my car, which was literally parked right in front of the doors to the store. I was told no, "these baskets cant leave the store"--and that I needed to go outside and get a cart instead. So I had to run out, grab a cart, and come back in... while the entire staff stood there watching me. There must have been 6 or 7 employees glaring at me with dirty looks like I had insulted them personally. The older checker was grumpy and rude, but honestly the whole team contributed to making the experience feel hostile and unwelcoming. I completely understand wanting to close on time. But if ringing someone up at 7:03 feels like a crisis to your staff, that's a management issue--not a customer problem. Also- why not sell reusable bags if you run out of bags so often? I would have bought one to make it faster for me to exit the store. Seems like a simple solution to avoid the extreme stress your staff is experiencing

There's a beverages bar inside by the second set of doors . At the end of the day, we stopped here again for refreshing beverages and snacks: salsa and house made chips and sweet potato fries. The fries were served piping hot and delicious. The fried house tortilla chips were a mixed basket, however. It seems they mixed freshly -made chips with ones made earlier in the day. The fresh ones were crispy while the older ones were stale and chewy, like eating paper. We should have sent them back, I know, but we were tired and hungry.

Aside from the sandwiches, they also sell local eggs, ready to cook meat from rib eyes, ground elk and/or beef, sausages, jerky etc. The sandwich itself was well thought through beginning with the grilled onions and melted Brie cheese- just delicious!

The staff is great about checking in as they're cleaning the tables nearby. Their Blue Cran Apple salad is the best around - loaded with sooo many toppings. I almost wish the portion stayed the same (huge) but in a bigger bowl so it's easier to toss. I may ask about that next time. Always get the side of bread, too! My mom got the veggie sandwich and pesto Mac as part of their $11 1/2 sandwich and a side deal. They have 5-6 different sides to choose from - fruit, Mac salad, salad salad, and more - and a wide range of tri tip, turkey, chicken, and veggie sandwiches plus other delicious cafe-fare. I've never had a bad choice here. After lunch, my mom insisted that we needed dessert. She had a hard time choosing just one, but went with the turtle cheesecake. If they had bread pudding this visit, that would have been my number one choice! Nothing compares to their bread pudding! But the turtle cheesecake was great, not overly sweet and the caramel was delicious. They also have a unique craft soda and drink selection. I'm a huge fan of craft root beer and love trying different ones! You really can't go wrong here. My only complaint is that while sitting on the porch is lovely, there usually seems to be bees buzzing around the side closest to the corner bar. I haven't sat on the other side of the porch, we usually just power through it, but have seen others move away from those tables as a result.
