On February 9, I was slammed into by an employee, possibly a manager, as they had ‘the keys.’ I was shopping at Sprouts when I encountered three employees walking shoulder to shoulder down an aisle. It seemed like they had just left a meeting, but instead of making space for customers, they took up the entire aisle. I moved over as far as I could to avoid being in their way, but instead of adjusting, the manager, who wasn’t in full uniform but was wearing Sprouts gear, slammed her shoulder into me, hard.
I turned around, expecting at least an acknowledgment or apology, but instead, she just glared at me and kept walking as if I was the one in the wrong. It was shocking behavior, especially from someone in a leadership position. As I continued shopping, she and a coworker kept glaring at me. Then, on my way out, I saw them standing just outside the front doors, smoking cigarettes.
I usually shop at Sprouts because of my limited diet, but this experience left me stunned. Between the manager aggressively bumping into me and a cashier previously telling me that a ‘holy man’ healed her celiac disease, I’m honestly flabbergasted by the lack of professionalism at this particular Sprouts.
This is a clean and organized store. They have good produce. Be sure to sign up for the app and emails - I received a $5 coupon, and also there are great coupons they'll send where you can "clip" them on the app.
I didn't see a particular organics section, but they do have a vitamin section in the pharmacy with general vitamins, and throughout the store there are labels for gluten free items.
