Q. How about aluminum
containers for the
to go hot lunch instead of the plastic? Aluminum is recyclable and most
likely
a bunch cheaper.
A. We’ll consider the
aluminum option.
We encourage all environmentally conscious consumers to re-use their
own
containers. This can be Tupperware or a
previously used and cleaned plastic hot entrée
container.
Q. The deli’s mint chocolate
chip
cookies rock. They are so refreshing.
A. Thank you. We’ll try to
make them more
regularly.
Q. Evolution K-9 Evolution
Diet, great brand
of pet food! We should carry it.
A. Because it has a
synthetic
ingredient, we are thinking it will not fit our product guidelines.
Q. I’m concerned about the
one-time use
of the many plastic containers in the deli. Have you ever tried or
considered a
more traditional approach— where there are large containers of items
and
customers make specifications (½ lb., 2 lbs., etc.), and customers
use
their own containers?
A. Thanks for the great
idea. We are currently
not set up to implement such a system. In our upcoming reset it may be
a part
of our deli. For now, any customer who wants to bring in their own
container
may do so for the hot entrées and also for cold items, if they
are not all
packaged.
Q. Would it be possible for
the deli
items to not only have the ingredients, but the nutritional content of
the
items as well?
A. This is a great idea. Our
deli
workers currently spend a great deal of time meeting demand for their
tasty and
popular items. Perhaps a member worker would like to volunteer to
research and
post detailed nutritional information.
Q. Please post a No Smoking
sign at the
picnic table right outside. I just want to enjoy my lunch.
A. Thank you for pointing
this out. We
will post a reminder for the smokers.
Q. Would it be possible to
reconsider
the policy of discontinuing herbs and other items that don’t sell
within six months?
This week it is “pickling spice” and Oolong tea. I don’t see why we
can’t throw
out something if it’s too old, instead of not carrying it.
A. Thank you for your
suggestion. We
have pickling spices… packaged organic and bulk conventional. Our
Oolong was discontinued
by Frontier, and we are searching for another source. Some discontinued
items
have been brought back by HaBA as a result of customers’ requests. If
you or
anybody else wants to see an item brought back, please leave a note for
our
herb buyer with the HaBA department. In the meantime, our HaBA
department can
assist shoppers who wish to special-order an item we do not carry.
Q. I suggest that you lower
your
Earth’s Best Baby food to $.79 a bottle.
A. It is not possible for us
to price
it at $.79. We cannot get as good a deal as some large grocers can.
Q. Please post the list of
vegetarian cheeses
in our specialty foods area.
A. You are more than welcome
to ask for
the list of cheeses made with vegetarian rennet, and we will happily
give you a
copy. Space restrictions prevent us from posting this list.
Q. What about another
screening of the HWFC
documentary at the Spectrum? I missed it the first time around.
A. We are working on
providing another opportunity for people to see the documentary.
