Great store! Rude owner/manager. Happened today. I just moved to Ladner and never been to this market before. My wide is a vegetarian and it is often challenging (though getting better) to find a good variety of vegan foods in the stores. Today I discovered for myself this market. It had a whole isle of vegan/vegetarian foods of so many kinds and brands! Amazing! I got excited and I sent a couple of pictures of the vegetarian variety to my wife as I was walking around the store. That's when I got approached and verbally assaulted by a woman who appeared to be a manager/owner, I am not sure. She questioned my purpose at the store and why I was walking around without buying anything, and explicitly implied that I was "price checking" or something. I am not sure when price checking became illegal, but I assured her I was not, I explained to her that this is my first time at this store and I am just excited they have so many vegetarian options for my wife. To that she abruptly threw at me: "I have the right to ask, ok?!".. And walked away..
I realize it might be difficult to judge people's intentions before talking to them (but even then she didn't have the right to be rude about it), but after we talked and I explained to her my walking around there - you'd think a little apology would be due, no?
Shame, my excitement about the place turned into this spill.. I won't be coming back to what could have been our favorite store in Ladner, and I will strongly advise everyone I know - against shopping there. Sadly.
