I visited Virginia Health Food Store today to purchase ingredients for elderberry syrup for my…read moredaughter, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 earlier this week and is still symptomatic. Out of caution, both my daughter and I wore medical-grade masks. When we arrived, I immediately informed the associate assisting me that my daughter was positive and still contagious, so she could decide whether to wear a mask or keep her distance. She was respectful, went to the back to get a mask, and came back to help me find the items I needed. I was nearly finished shopping--about 7 to 10 minutes into my visit--when a manager named Celeste approached and told me I needed to leave the store due to concerns from other customers. I explained that I was only there to quickly get a few essential ingredients to care for my sick child, but she insisted I leave immediately. No curbside option was offered, no suggestion of an alternative--just a flat denial of service. I had to call my mother and ask her to drive from Saraland to the store to finish the shopping. I waited outside for about 15 minutes, and even then, no one offered any form of assistance or accommodation. What made this situation worse is that the store was fairly busy with 10-15 other people inside--none of whom were wearing masks. There's no guarantee that anyone else wasn't asymptomatic or contagious, but because I was honest, proactive, and masked, I was singled out and dismissed. When my mother came in to finish the purchase, she was rushed, and we later discovered that not all the ingredients I needed were included. This forced me to return not once, but two more times just to get everything. Despite the inconvenience and repeated trips, no one offered any form of compensation, apology, or even a discount for my time and trouble. The only person who showed genuine understanding and kindness was Alex, who assisted me during my third visit. After I told him this was my third trip back, he kindly gave me some extra elderberries at no charge, which I truly appreciated. This experience left me feeling disrespected, dismissed, and discriminated against. I took every precaution I could. I was honest, masked, and simply trying to care for my sick child. Yet instead of being met with understanding or support, I was treated like an inconvenience. Virginia Health Food Store is one of the few places in Mobile that offers raw, unprocessed herbs, so it's deeply disappointing to be treated this way. I hope the store takes this as an opportunity to improve how they handle sensitive situations like this--with empathy, consistency, and basic human decency.

After extensive internet research, I set out to find specific vitamins to make me feel young and healthy again. We walked into GNC and were immediately greeted by Cameron. I told him the vitamins I was interested in and he answered all of my questions and made a few suggestions. His knowledge about all of the vitamins and supplements was impressive. After we picked out my vitamins, he discussed a few different vitamins with my husband while I continued to look around at collagen pills and essential oils. I picked out an oil similar to one I buy online for allergies and sinuses. Wouldn't you know, Cameron was knowledgeable about essential oils too. He recommended one slightly different than the one I picked out and I absolutely love it! The prices were on par with what I would've payed at the pharmacy down the pharmacy down the street, plus I received great personal service and a $5 off coupon good toward my next purchase. I'll definitely shop at GNC for my future vitamin and supplement needs.
