    If an employee is going to get angry at you for something they should have offered to help you with…read morein the first place, there needs to be Deescalation Courses or a reprimanding for entitled employees. I was trying to reach a 2-liter soda bottle, and used the (sometimes) provided soda stick to pull the product forward, which fell at an odd angle atop the top shelf. Having struggled with trying to position it better, surrounded by more than one employee in the aisle, I expected someone to offer assistance, but found none. So, I stepped on the bottom shelf to reach and snatch the bottle myself, visibly frustrated. After walking away with the bottle in hand, an employee spoke up aggressively and said "Hey, you! Don't do that again." to which I responded "Oh, I just couldn't reach it! Sorry." And he said, "We have ladders for that." I didn't reply after that and continued on. It was a brief and unpleasant interaction, not something I'm used to seeing but it was uncalled for nonetheless. My issue with this really comes down to: 1) An employee should offer assistance. A customer shouldn't always have to ask when they are visibly struggling, that should be a trained reaction as a Wal-Mart associate. 2) If they cannot provide assistance, then ladders should be within the aisle that can be used when product isn't within grasp. 3) Finally, what irks me is that this product should have been refaced (brought to the front and in reach) throughout the night of restocking to begin with. Fronting product should be priority one! A customer should never not have easy access to it. That's all! Hopefully this isn't something that needs repeated in the future, but it's also not the first time I've seen the beverages improperly shelved anyway.

Sadly, they've scored a big F for FAIL. My husband and/or I have stopped in at least a dozen times since last October, and last week we decided "enough is enough." We mostly encounter the male owner, not his wife. He's not much of a talker, gruff to the point of blatant rudeness. A simple question like "where can I find xyz?" is met with a "what, are you stupid?" stare and a reply that expresses that same attitude. We thought maybe he just didn't like us for some bizarre reason. Is it because we've only lived here for 12 years and aren't "old timers" like his family? But we've seen him treat others, tourists and locals alike, just as rudely. It's almost like he's baiting them to call out his rudeness so he can then refuse them service. When we witnessed EXACTLY that last week, we decided we're DONE with Papa's Market, and we are telling all our family and friends who live here to do the same. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising. When you treat one customer badly, you can multiply that by 10. In small towns like ours, multiply by 20. REAL Montanans are good neighbors, no matter how long their neighbor has lived in Montana. Now, if you don't care about rude business owners (let's face it, civility and common decency appears to have been thrown out the window in this country), here are a few other things to keep in mind before giving this establishment your hard-earned dollars. 1) Prices at places like this (tourist traps) that get a lot of out-of-state travelers usually are much higher. That's an unfortunate given. We understand inflation is making things tough for everyone, but Papa's Market prices are INSANELY high. 6 bucks for a regular size box of Nabisco crackers? 5 bucks for box of cake mix? Back in December, I ran out of raisins for a dessert recipe and sent my husband over to Papa's (3 min. away) for a box. He ended up going to Harvest Foods because even with the extra mileage, it was still cheaper than what Papa's was selling: 6 halloween-treat-size boxes of raisins that had been wrapped in cellophane and slapped with price of $4.99. 2) Gas price gauging. Watch out! Read the Unleaded gas price sign very carefully. The price is for CASH ONLY. When you get to the pump, you'll find the price is at least 10 cents higher if you're paying by credit card. No matter which method of payment you use, gas prices at Papa's are ALWAYS at least 10-20 cents higher than the Harvest Foods gas station just 5 miles north. 3) If you're looking at old reviews, please be aware that Papa's doesn't sell milkshakes anymore. There is a nice veggie/fruit stand set up outside every Wednesday (June-September) by the local Hutterite community. My one star in this review is for the Hutterite stand, though they'd get 5 all on their own.
