Suggestion
Box
Q. Could the deli start
using organic
(non- GMO) canola oil?
A. The canola oil we sell is
non-GMO.
Q. Why can’t the cashiers
have the PLU numbers
instead of the customers juggling clipboards, carts, children, pencils,
etc.?
A. We do not want to
inconvenience the shoppers,
but with our large variety of products we must ask the customer to bear
the
responsibility of recording PLUs so that they are charged properly.
Q. Bring back Maggie’s socks
— they’re organic.
A. We would be happy to
special order
some for you. Please speak with a HaBA representative.
Q. Can you order/sell hemp
seed nuts? One
brand is “Naritoba.”
A. We’ll order some.
Q. Emerald Valley Hummus is the only
brand. Please
buy Emerald
Valley every
week!
A. We try to keep it in
stock as best
as we can. We’ll try harder.
Q. I strongly object to the
“young
turkey for sale” sign that is posted in my face as I enter the store.
What is
wrong with you?
A. We’re sorry to have
offended you. We
will relocate the sign.
Q. You guys should get the
kind of milk
that has cream on top (please)?
A. We have it! You can find
Evans
Farmhouse pasteurized (not homogenized) whole milk in the dairy cooler
near the
Organic
Valley milks.
Q. Like to see peanut butter
making machine
instead of open pots that are messy.
A. Since we have limited
space on the
sales floor, we will look into implementing a grinding operation in the
back
room. We will continue to dispense bulk peanut butter for customers who
prefer
the current method.
Q. Bulk should be cheaper
than off the shelf!
Does not support re-using bottles! Grade A Organic Maple Syrup PLU
1437: 32
fluid ounces = $14.86. Adirondack off
the shelf:
32 fluid ounces = $12.09.
A. Often bulk is cheaper
than items off
the shelf. Sometimes we simply get a better deal on large packages or
sale
items and we pass the savings on to the consumer. On the example of
maple syrup
we calculate the cost of a quart to be $10.66. This is based on the
specific
gravity of maple syrup being 1.37. A quart would then weigh 2.74 lbs.
We
suspect the tare was not taken off your jar. We will gladly refund the
difference.
Q. Could we open up a branch
on the University
of Albany?
A. There were two previous
student-run
coops run by the administration. A co-op on campus will be most likely
a
successful venture if it is initiated from the students. You are free
to start
any group you wish.
Q. I would like to buy a
butterkeeper —
the crockery thing that stays cool by evaporation of water. Can you
stock them?
A. We have not seen anything
like this
in any of our catalogs. May we suggest that you check the ads in Mother
Earth’s
News or one of the local gourmet shops?
Q. Why is the Co-op open
today [10/6] —
Drive Out the Bush Regime Day?
A. Are you a member? You can
start a petition
for next year!
