Employees!

We have been longstanding customers at the Vitamin Shoppe store in Forest Hills since the time the store opened and overall customers for nearly 30 years. We are very familiar with Theresa Chico and Sunni, these individuals have known us for many years and have treated us with respect and kindness. There have been many other "original employees " that have also treated us well; never having any issues with them. I went to the store on Sunday evening (3/24/24) to purchase supplements for my husband and was subjected to direct discrimination and racial profiling by two employees, Madeline and Kevin. Upon entering the store Kevin proceeded to watch and follow me around the store up and down the aisles. When I finally confronted him, Madeline who stated she was a manager claimed they were scanning the store. At the time there were only two customer: myself and a female caucasian customer in the store. It is quite obvious why they chose me; another case of (SWB) shopping while black. Both employees were rude, disrespectful, and clearly biased. Meanwhile we literally spend thousands of dollars in this store each year (earning gold member status). It is very disheartening to know that this is what some store employees see as acceptable behavior. We now question what the store leadership condones since they both seemed very comfortable with their behaviors. Other customers witnessing what took place confirmed that this is a practice at this store with certain employees, including Madeline. I intend to take this unlawful incident further, reporting the discrimination to the appropriate agencies. I just want others to know to beware and to speak up if this is your experience. Unfortunately, we will no longer patronize this establishment especially with these two individuals being employed there.

I've been trying to eat more plant based and remember this place that my mom used to bring me 15+…read moreyears ago?? They have a hot foods section - brown rice with veg (peas/carrot) and 4 options of sides will bring you to $12. I opted for their special of 2 lunch orders to get a free large soup (16oz). The guy really packs in the food so for $12 a box it's def worth if you're in a time crunch and want a filling vegetarian meal. To order, order at the counter, pay at the cashier, and bring back your receipt to collect your food. The food is mildly seasoned and not super oily which I love - I def go home to add hot sauce/red chili flakes at home though. After I got the food I walked around the store to look around. Not sure about the fresh produce, but the dairy section is sooo pricy compared to what I'm used to at Trader Joe's for things like organic milk or non-dairy yogurt. I get that it's a small business but for the amount and speed my household consumes dairy, we got to go for Trader Joe's.

One of my goals for this year is to eat healthier. If that's your goal too, you have to check this…read moreplace out. They have healthy options for sour cream, cookies, teas, ice cream, cereals, pasta, sauces, flour, milk, cheese, chips, etc. You name it. They have it. Let's face it - the only trade joe's in Queens is a mess. Way too crowded. And the nearest Whole Foods store is in Manhasset, NY. That's too far if you don't have a car. This store gives queens residents another option for organic, healthy food without having to wait in long lines at Trader Joe's or drive all the way to Manhasset, NY. By the way, this store's vitamin shop is AMAZING. The person who is in charge of the vitamin area is knowledgeable in what to offer clients based on their illness. This store also serves shakes, and meals, which I have yet to try. A "healthy meats" store (extension of this store) opened up nearby and I'll check that out too.
