I'm from France where we have lots of fresh vegetables and fruits and so many markets with the tastiest products direct from producers that are cheap...When I came to live in Winnipeg I was told about this place where I could finally find some good vegetables and fruits. I came and tried it out and it was true! I found good quality stuff, and even if it is much more expensive than in France with our fresh market culture, I don't mind at all paying the price.
When I came, I also thought I would find the "spirit" of markets in the store: friendly people, relaxed, open minded, smiling people etc. Luckily, Nick and the owner are very friendly and represent the spirit I had hoped to find. However, I have had a few bad experiences with women working at the cashier...every time I came, I spend a lot of money, and every time after leaving the cashier, I told myself I ll never come again to this store: my experiences were an insult to all the values of what a market represents. They do not smile, they have so much attitude, and they give the general impression that you are bothering them and that the only thing that they care about is to finish the day and not be bothered by customers. As an exemple (which this review is about), I had a 200$ bill a few days ago and we had so much stuff on the counter, and 2 times I thought she had already scanned the products so I put them in my bag, and she looked at me like I was trying to steal them (with an over 200$ bill...) and you could see in her eyes that she almost wanted to punch me in the face. That was very disrespectful, and it has been a few times that my boyfriend and I told ourselves that the cashier had a lot of attitude, so we shouldn't come back again, because having that kind of services, we rather go the a grocery store, which is very sad. Also, on two occasions, I had to explain that my French visa DEBIT card (which says debit on it) was not a credit card : with the cashiers arguing with me in a ton that made it seem I was stupid. Please, owners, try and spread your positive energy throughout your staff.
