Have been a general consumer customer for quite some time now. Within the last three months I bought a couple of jars from our neighborhood Kroger(43rd. St). Opened the first jar and upon pouring it into a bowl it was much liquid then solid. Very liquid. The consistency was very obvious on the liquid side. Being a fan of Arriba salsas/RIBA Foods, a local company, I decided to call them. I like to support our local companies when deserved for their quality. But here’s where it ends. Initially, I spoke to a friendly RIBA associate who answered the phone last Friday. because I opened the second jar. My question: did RIBA Foods change the recipe? She believed it had not changed. I was transferred to “quality control”, who didn’t answer, nor could I leave a message(mailbox full). I called back & advised the same person of that situation. She took my number so an associate could return my call. Didn’t hear back. Okay, that was a Friday-understandable, so I called back @ about 1:30pm today(Monday). -and explained the issue from Friday, etc. and was told “no, the recipe had not changed”; then very quickly transferred me to someone else. VM-mailbox full. Look, I can afford two jars of salsa. That’s not the issue. Without words, RIBA Foods loudly proclaimed, WE DON’T CARE! So much for customer service. There are at least a dozen choices on Texas grocers shelves to select salsa jars. You don’t have to guess what I finally did this afternoon. Yes, I found a new favorite salsa company “Made in Texas”. And all it would have taken was a little CUSTOMER SERVICE to keep me as a customer. Adios!
