Q.Any chance for a bigger
building for
growing coop? Parking is tough.
A. We are currently
looking for a location
for a second store and we’re also working on a plan for remodeling this
store.
We hope these steps alleviate some of the current congestion.
Q.HaBA and all
departments — Please
remind price labelers to not put stickers on top of ingredients lists
and
nutrition charts.
A. We strive to avoid
covering
important info on the labels. We will remind our workers to place
stickers more
carefully.
Q.Where’s the knitting
group? I showed
up but there wasn’t anyone in the café. Is it defunct?
A. Perhaps it has
dissolved. Would
you like to act as a catalyst to get it going again.
Q.Please reduce the size
of bulk yeast
bags by a half. No matter how avid a baker you are, the yeast loses
it’s
activeness4 very quickly.
A. We will try to offer a
variety of
sizes.
Q.The café chairs
are really filthy.
Please could someone clean them on a regular basis?
A. OK. We’ll pass this on
to our member
workers.
Q.Wheat free scones — as
much as possible!
A. We currently make them
three
times a week and will try to get them out more frequently.
Q.My household is
currently
receiving two pieces of mail/mailing. One for my husband, one for
myself.
A. We have a form
available at the
service counter for people who wish to avoid duplicate mailings.
Q.Drop the gnarley toys
in the kids
coop — dirty stuffed animals.
A. We need a member
worker to take over
this area. Any volunteers?
Q.Why aren’t there enough
tables in the
café for eating?
A. We will purchase a
table to use
for food demos, so that will get us one more. When we do our remodeling
we will
have a larger café with increased seating.
Q.I miss the organic
Bolivia Coffee.
Can you bring it back?
A. Equal Exchange is out
of Bolivian
beans. They’ll have more eventually. In the in-between time our buyer
will
carry a locally roasted High
Peaks Java
Bolivian
Blend. Enjoy!
Q.Please check the dates
on bulk stuff
like raisins and lecithin. I bought a pack date of 1/10 — and it’s 2/25!
A. We prefer to sell
items within
one month of the packdate. Raisins will keep for at least 6 months. We
will gladly
refund or exchange products.
Q.Can we get a youth
magazine for boys?
A. We have not seen one
available. We’ll
keep our eyes open.
Q.The Coop carries
“commercial” catnip,
which I regard as “Ohio Rope Weed.” How about stocking the real thing
without
the sticks and stems?
A. We have noticed the
quantity of sticks
& stems in the commercial catnip and will speak to our distributor
about
this. In the meantime, have you checked out the organic catnip or the
packaged
ones with pet supplies?
Q.If the room at the rear
is a lunch
room, could office use be curbed between 11–2?
A. We are in a serious
crunch for
office space and we try to help people work at hours that are
convenient for
them. We will do what we can to improve the situation.
Q.Can you get
boneless/skinless sardines?
A. People here seem to
prefer the
ones with skin and bones for the extra nutrition. We’ve tried the
boneless/ skinless
in the past with limited success.
Q.Let’s make a recipe
book of the great
foods cooked at deli service.
A. We gave Nicole your
email. We’re glad
you appreciate our selections.
Q.I was told by an
employee that HWFC
would not be carrying Son Pellegrino sodas because they were owned by
Nestle
and the store was boycotting Nestle products. Doesn’t it seem silly at
this
point in the Coop’s history to continue this boycott? I have no love of
Nestle,
but are they any worse than Phillip Morris, Coca- Cola or other big
companies that
the Coop carries products by?
A. You may
preorder Son Pellegrino sodas. On the boycott
issue, would you like to join our product selection committee? See
Nicole!
