New Shopper's Assistant offers help finding items“Who
can help me find fermented daikon?” The
Shopper’s Assistant project is well under way — with four working
members now
available at the Coop to answer questions and help shoppers find
products. Shopper’s
Assistants are aware of many products that shoppers with special diets
may want
to find. They keep up to date on labels that list the contents of
foods, are
knowledgeable about foods offered in the bulk section and are eager to
answer
questions, especially for those new to the Coop. While many Shopper’s
Assistants have a background and interest in nutrition, it is not their
intent
to advise people on diets. Rather, they help shoppers find particular
foods and
give culinary tips, if asked. Look
for a Shopper’s Assistant on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11 am to 2
pm, on Thursdays
from 2 to 4 pm, and on Fridays in the late afternoon. The Shopper’s
Assistant wears
a yellow identification badge that says “Ask me questions!” A
special note to those needing assistance finding gluten-free foods: On
the
third Wednesday of every month, a knowledgeable Shopper’s Assistant
will be
available to help you. Other
members who would like to participate as Shopper’s Assistants may
contact Louise
Frazier at 489-5558 for assignment and orientation. |
