To be honest don’t buy anything from here. It’s so overpriced. I got 3 peaches for $10. What in the world. They didn’t even taste good. 😭

Absolutely! Here’s a more detailed, enthusiastic review for Sosio’s Fruit and Produce: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sosio’s Fruit and Produce is an absolute treasure and a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fresh, high-quality produce. From the moment we walked in, we could feel the owners’ passion and enthusiasm for what they do. Their love for top-notch fruits and veggies is truly infectious, and it’s so refreshing to see people who genuinely care about the quality of what they offer to their customers. We tried their mangoes, and let me just say – these were the best mangoes we’ve ever had in the U.S.! They were perfectly ripe, bursting with flavor, and had a freshness that’s hard to find anywhere else. Each bite was juicy and delicious, reminding us of mangoes straight from the tropics. It’s clear that Sosio’s goes above and beyond to find produce that’s a cut above the rest. Beyond the mangoes, the entire experience was a joy. The team is knowledgeable and eager to share tips and recommendations. You don’t just feel like a customer – you feel like a valued guest in their shop. There’s such a variety of fruits and vegetables, all arranged beautifully, making it a fun and unique shopping experience. We’ll definitely be back and will recommend Sosio’s to all our friends and family. It’s rare to find a place where quality, service, and passion all come together so perfectly. Thank you, Sosio’s, for an unforgettable experience!

My boyfriend and I visited Sosio's at Pike's Place Market on a trip to Seattle over New Year's and were planning to go back and buy some grapes we tried to take back to our hotel and home to Georgia, but we didn't want to walk around holding them. We were told they could ship them back home, but we were hoping to snack on them during our trip and were going to just go back after looking around. Long story short, after getting sidetracked seeing a Shepard Fairey in the wild and trying to get a better view of it, we got lost and never made it back. We kept talking about how much we regretted not buying the grapes and were like, "We should have just ordered them and had them ship them to us." Well, me being me finds a photo I took with the name of the market in there and looks them up and it's surely them! I reached out on Facebook thinking maybe if they ship items you buy in store, I could order over the phone or something and have them shipped to me. Additionally, I was hoping someone would have an idea as to what grape I was talking about. I kid you not, the person who responded to my message knew exactly which variant of grape it was and what other options were in season coming up as additional recommendations (if you like this, you'll like this one coming soon!) They also did let me know that I could place an order over the phone and they could ship it to us. Anyway, I will be making an order with them come payday and cannot wait to get these grapes to surprise my boyfriend. You cannot make up this level of customer service. Their produce was beautiful, fresh, absolutely delicious, their staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and if it's the same people answering their messages on Facebook or someone else, they're great, too. I cannot recommend them enough. I had to pass their website along on Facebook to let my local friends know that they could order this amazing produce from the west coast to be shipped anywhere! If you are ever in Seattle, be sure to check them out.

If you’re taking any fruit to travel home with make sure you don’t tell them, or if you do make sure to check your produce before you leave. We stopped here on our first day and loved their fruit. Came back for more to bring home and was surprised at what I saw after getting home. It seems they have picked the not so appealing, rotting fruit… not a fan of this kind of work ethic and wanted to come on here to warn others.

Always buy vegetables here. Fresh and great tasting. Costs a bit more than a grocery store but you’re paying for the quality.

!!!NOT HONESTY to travelers and terrible staff !! Definitely not trustworthy. There was a lady with short grey hair was assisting us yesterday. We were visiting from Vancouver to pike market yesterday and the staff knew I am not from local. Few things to explain what happened to us. 1. When we purchasing Premium Alba truffle,the lady put Alba truffles in the small paper bag and leave it under the table . Then we went to select blueberry and paid all together. When I back home,surprisingly Alba truffle became to a cup of butter. What a magician! 2. When my wife asking her to get white asparagus. The staff was trying to put rotten ones into paper bag on purpose. Luckily we find out and refused to purchase. 3. Because of the high traffic of pike market on weekend. While waiting for the lady to assist us with blueberry, we were standing at the aisle of the fruit stand. She yelled to us don’t stand here. Guess she was pissed when we found out the rotten asparagus thing. Hope she can be a better person in the future and stop playing stupid games to travelers!! (Pic 1 and 2 is what we received, pic 3 I took at the fruit stand display)

So many cool and fresh produce to pick from. We’re from CT so couldn’t buy anything today but will be picking up some items before our flight on Sunday. We got to try the purple asparagus and it was delicious. The lady working there was also very friendly.

#1 Stop at Pikes Place Market. It was so awesome. Fast and furious customer service. It’s a busy busy place. But the fruit is excellent. Amazing. A total highlight and loved the lady that took care of us. She was awesome.

I like to go early in the morning, when there is less traffic and the staff has time to work with you. They back up their claims with samples of the fruit to demonstrate freshness and sweetness. They will tell you what is fresh, local, and frankly not amazing too. This last trip, they offered up ready fruit and not ready fruit and bagged and labeled them accordingly so I could store them and consume them as they recommended. I wanted to make a butternut squash soup. They didn't have three, but rather 1 and then suggested two other squashes to make a mixed soup. It was delicious and fun to try. So when you go, be open to their suggestions.

For the first time in almost 20 years, I'm sad to say to report my first negative experience at Sosio's. What I expected from prior experience was a helpful vendor helping me pick best fruit and quantities, especially given I couldn't pick it myself. What I got was a lady who was clearly over it well before I showed up and taking it out on me to hurry to the next thing. She was very rude and unhelpful. When I needed a second to think about how much of a thing I wanted, she got very impatient then barked at me about not being prepared to tell her exactly how much I wanted right away without asking questions. I just needed a second to think about what I needed to purchase. The chaos of the booth made it very difficult to think straight. Looking around for other employees left me empty handed -- they were all very salty and more interested in brushing people out the booth. Adding insult to injury, on returning home, the fruit that came out of the bag was not good. The raspberries were moldy. The blackberries were dried up. The apples were bruised, smelled like chemicals, and tasted like average chain store produce. Compared to what I saw on display, the fruit that came home with me was the worst of the bunch. Half of the bag had to be thrown away and was completely inedible -- a shame for the price I paid. After having such pleasant conversations with the owner since I was a young person, and coming home with the best produce in the city since I could remember, it pains me to say that this booth has gone drastically downhill. Nothing is worse than getting bad product than being treated like garbage to boot.

Sosio's Fruit and Produce is a small place, and if you blink, you might miss it as you are walking around in Pike's Market. Thankfully, the guys were friendly and calling out offering free samples. He cut into a white nectarine and passed it out. Oh my God, this was so juicy, sweet, and flavorful! It was one of the best tasting nectarines I've ever had. A woman asked, "What's the name of this nectarine?" He answered, "They are called 'Oh My God' nectarines!" and smiled. We all looked, and the sign said that. But, maybe called Royal Grow Nectarines. Regardless, stop by and check them out!

Their fruit was amazingly delicious, sweet, and fresh. We bought the cherries, white and yellow nectarines, and some figs. I had not had figs in forever. The guys gave us samples and said try before you buy! Some of the other fruits places did not give samples. He was very nice. The space was however crowded but to be expected since it's the pike market. If you are in need of fresh fruit, try this place in the market. 7/10 for the congestion and crowd. 10/10 for the fruit and service

These fellows know their fruit! They generously give samples and that there is the hook! Once you try their super sweet fruit, you can't walk away! The owner knew off the bat that we were from Hawaii and told us we could take fruit back with us and that he'd pack it to travel well. Our fruit in Hawaii seems like the dregs of the earth after eating these fruits from Sosios! We bought and brought back nectarines, plums and Indian mangos! We also got a bag of dried strawberries and those were amazing! Definitely stop here and talk with the owner!

Small shop in the market but absolutely beautiful produce can be found here. Yes, they give out samples and you should try what they are offering. You can bet that the samples are going to be delicious. The prices are high but so is the quality.

Sosio's is where I go for fresh high quality fruit. While it doesn't last as long as fruit from a grocery store, the flavor is out of this world, and 100% worth the extra stop. It is hands down amazing. I do wish it were a bit easier to get in line at the stand, but the market is set up for tourists, so it tends to be pretty hustle and bustle. I usually stop in for a mix of cherries and raspberries and they have never once let me down, the honey loves them! All in all we'll keep coming back for fantastically fresh fruit, most definitely.

Go here for the dried strawberries! Employees are really nice so ask them about it! And what else to try.

Some of the freshest produce I have had in Seattle. Be sure to try a sample of the white nectaries and plumcots if they are in season. The plumbs are also delicious. Be sure to ask for samples, that's how they get you hooked. They are very nice and love to chat.

Sosio's IS pricey but absolutely worth it for the quality. I used to think PCC (the high-end grocery store in Seattle) and the farmers market had really good fruit, but Sosio's has really elevated and expanded my mind as to what is possible for good fruit. I know this sounds dramatic, but it really is incredible how sweet and flavorful their fruit is. Somehow they source the best of each type of fruit. They'll even pick the best of the already excellent lot if you ask them to (but of course, you have the control to pick for yourself too). Along with having extremely delicious fruit, they have such a great selection of fruit that you can't find elsewhere. From my experience, they've let me try almost any fruit there. With all of that said, I would say skip buying "boring" fruit or fruit that you can't appreciate the difference in quality since you won't be able to justify the higher price tag. However, if you can even tell a little bit or want a unique fruit, the fruit here is worth every single penny.

Yes. It is expensive but the quality and ripeness of the produce is impeccable. The staff is SUPER knowledgeable and kind. The display stands are absolutely gorgeous and a visual pleasure to walk past in Pike's Place. So happy this place exists :)

Yes the products are really good. Yes it's really over priced and it doesn't last as long as high end super market products. Bought mushrooms, he definitely put the smallest ones in my bag and left the nicer big ones on display. Make sure they use the scale and not guess. Over priced.

Although my time here was fairly short, the experience was amazing. Sosio's is a small spot set up in Pike Place Market that sells fresh fruit and produce. The people working are super knowledgeable about their products and are great people to talk to. Ask them anything and they will have an answer for you. If you're interested in a certain food that they have they will gladly give you a sample of it. I got to try the snap peas and peaches and they are so fresh and flavorful. We also bought some of the cherries and wow, better than anything you can get in a store. There is so much fresh produce here I don't think you can go wrong with any of it. Also, there are things that I have never heard of or seen before. Overall, Sosio's is definitely one of the places that you should stop at if you're in Pike Place Market.

Checked out this place first time and bought two opal apples today. Since our kid wants to eat the apple right away, we had asked the old lady who packed apple to us to help us cut two slices apple since she was holding the knife. But she refused and said their store was not restaurant, not willing to do that. And her service manner was so impolite and racist. I would never come back to this place. She never knows helping others is the foundation of happiness.

The colors and visuals of the fruit stands are one of the things I love about visiting Pike Place Market but not only is Sosio's visually appealing but the fruit here is amazing! I've stopped by here numerous times through the years and have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly, offering samples and helping you pick great fruit. The nectarines I got on my most recent trip were perfectly ripe and super juicy, some of the best that I've had! The only downside is that the fruit here is pricey for sure- but know that you get what you pay for!

I really enjoy shopping at Sosio's as they go over and beyond to provide local residents the freshest quality, and seasonal produce at a fraction of the price grocery stores. Sosio's is one of the only vendors that opens at 4AM. Aside from the quality produce I really appreciate the convenient shopping options offered, and wonderful customer service!!! Mike and his team go over and beyond to yield exceptional customer service to everyone. On the days when the weather isn't pleasant or I'm pushed for time I can call my order in ahead of time and someone will prepare and bring the order to us curbside. Sosio's is not just a market for tourists, it's a produce market for everyone far and near; I highly recommend!!!

DO NOT LET THEM BAG YOUR FRUIT. I allowed the worker to bag my fruit and I didn't unwrap it to look before I took it home. All of the nectarines she picked were badly bruised around the entire fruit and even have puncture holes in them. I will never trust the baggers again. Must be their slick way of getting rid of the undesirables. :/

I don't know if they forgot about my order or what...but when I was at their location I wanted some of their freeze dried strawberries shipped to San Francisco (my home). I gave her all my information (including my personal banking information) It's been at least a week and I have not heard back from them nor received my fabulous (or I was hoping) fruit. I have tried calling, but the phone just keeps ringing.

I love the peaches, but they don't weigh nearly one pound each as it states on FB, at least for delivery. The largest was about 12 ounces (though I didn't check every one), most somewhere around 11-12 ounces. So, 15 peaches for $139, delivered, is $9.27 per peach or roughly 81¢/oz. or $13/lb. But they are delicious. The fact that each has been great and remind me of my childhood, makes them worth it to me. But please be honest about that almost a pound per stuff.

Best produce at Pikes Market hands down. The produce is reasonably priced and actually really fresh! You can tell that Sosios really cares about the quality of veg they carry and it shows - in the best way.

I had the best peach I've ever had in my life here. I've been to Seattle a few times prior (visiting from LA), and decided on this trip to try out the fruit at Pike's Place. Goddamn, the peach was unbelievably tender - amazingly sweet, great firmness, and delicious flavor. I asked the girl working where this was from, and she said it was from "California". I was in awe.. I ain't ever had a peach taste this good down here! Ever since that day, I've been on the hunt for that miraculous tasting peach locally. Price is on the expensive side, but the quality of the fruit was unmatched to anything I've tried before. Overall score: 4.25/5

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Stand! by tasting their samples you know they have very good quality and with the label like OMG you will not walk away without a purchase. Their peaches are GREAT!! we always pick up strawberries , cherries , blueberries, nectarines to snack on while walking around Pikes Marketplace. Staff are very helpful and if you need to put a last minute fruit basket together they will certainly reccomend their best products that everyone would enjoy receiving them. prices are a lil high but quality it's all GOOD!

There are some really beautiful produce produce stalls at Pike Place market, and Sosio's is one of the best. They have local produce and some international imported produce, also. The service is friendly and welcoming. I went before the pandemic, so make sure you ask about their hours. Everything is so fresh and beautiful!

SOSIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'S! Fantastico! I love Sosio's. Yeah yeah, you will pay more than you will pay at a local grocery unless you're at Metropolitan Market or PCC maybe. The beautiful produce here taste amazing. They give out free samples and you can try anything before you buy it. Heirloom tomatoes as big as your head, truffles, magical pears, divine peaches, sugar snap peas and don't forget the OMG peaches. Whenever I've wandered around Pike Place Market, I make sure that I visit Sosio's. I go home with a hefty brown paper sack of fruits and veggies. The staff have always been good to me.

Was at the market for an out of town visit. Bought 3 heirloom tomatoes for $21+. A guy who looks like Sam interrupted the nice lady helping us. Then, when I was finished and came back to ask about the asparagus and attempt to share a story (I didn't get that far), he turned into one of the most aggressive human beings I've ever encountered. As I said to my daughter "Let's get out of here!", to avoid what was already turned into a scene, he continued to follow and antagonize us, yelling "Get the f-ck out of here!" As if our hasty exit wasn't quite good enough, he yelled down the corridor "Who eats wild asparagus??" We walked around the area and found much cheaper produce with vendors who were civil human beings. Needless to say, we won't be back. Ever. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is a ticking time bomb.

This review is not for Sozio's but for one of their staff member. I walked past the stalls this morning with my dog. A customer with a German Shepherd was engaged with the staff member. As we walked by, the GSD turned and lunged at my dog. Thankfully, it seems my dog was unharmed beyond being shaken, and losing a large chunk of fur. The owner was apologetic and I hold nothing to the dog or the owner although I did return to take a photo of the dog (as you should in such incidents, as well as get vaccination records). This staff had the audacity to call himself a dog trainer and that it was an isolated incident (hint to all owners: happened once will happen again). This guy's most memorable quote, "if your dog is prone to being bit, you shouldn't be taking it anywhere."

If you visit Pike Place please make a point to stop in and see Mike and the crew at Sosio's Produce. Had a great time talking to Mike and sampling some of the best produce We've ever tasted and the Ranier cherries were amazing! Heck it was all amazing! We bought sweet corn, golden beets, heirloom tomatoes, cherries, asparagus, mangoes and Hawaiian papayas. You will not be disappointed!

The local truffles caught our eyes as we were walking through Pike Place Market. My girlfriend and I both love truffles. The lady who helped us was very knowledgeable and helpful. She explained to us how to store the truffles and how to make truffle butter. She even put some rice with the truffle so that they don't shrink on our way home. These local (black) truffles have a very different aroma than the ones that we are used to. They smell buttery and sweet. It IS touristy, but it's always fun to walk through the market. When you visit Seattle, Pike Place Market is a must. Don't dismiss it just because it's touristy! ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

GO!!! That's the best advice I can give anyone visiting Pikes Market Place - as a southern woman of some years who has visited Farmer Markets ALL over the USA this is the top 3 experiences with the 2 owners on an early Wed am as market was opening ... dazzled by their knowledge & their produce - will be shipping ALL over USA to our family for holidays & special gifts to show our love with these gems they carry

Customer service reps are boldly rude especially mike one of the owners. He made fun of me while I was in there towards other customer. it was also out of nowhere, i was shocked it even happened. Also they are selling mushrooms claiming to be wild but they are very misidentified. I understand things can get swapped around but when you are claiming a product such as mushrooms you should make sure they are properly identified so you don't kill people or rip them off because you're way over charging the wrong mushroom. Dude needs some deep healing to fix his attitude, I would never shop there again.

Yelp
SOOOO SAD!!!! This place use to be my absolute favorite vendor in the market, NO MORE! The staff have become unbearably rude and have completely lost their sense of customer service. They not only close EARLIER than their stated time! Even if you get there when they are just starting to take stuff down, they won't help you, they just complain to you about their hours and tell you to come back at 4am! Soo sad, honestly, Met market has amazing produce and customer service, save your money and go there. Or if you're south go to Carpenito Brothers!

The samples got us. When walking by we were given a bite of the perfectly ripened nectarine. We had to buy some. They were the absolute best we've had in years. Grocery stores usually sell them when they're still green so they never ripen to the sweet, sweet flavor. These were amazing. We also bought some wonderful cherries. This place is definitely worth hunting down at the market.

Wow. The brown curly hair woman really needs an attitude check and a lesson on customer service. No wonder your booth was empty today. As I was admiring all the beautiful fruit you have, I was approached by her and immediately felt tension and aggression. She asked what I was doing and I said, and I quote, "I was just admiring your beautiful fruit." I'm not sure what stick was up her ass, but she snark-ily informed me that "the produce is put out there to try and for people to buy" as I just looked and thought about buying some apples for my mom. She then asked me if I wanted to try anything, with that same attitude, and I said no, because covid, and then just glared at me like I had done something wrong. Unbearably uncomfortable, I said "thank you!" And as I was walking away, I KIDD YOU NOT, she said "WHAT? YOURE NOT GOING TO FUCKING BUY ANYTHING" Jesus Christ. Maybe I would've after I perused around so I didn't have to carry the load. But not anymore. I never say this about anyone, but what a bitch. Will not ever be returning.

What caught our eyes was the beautiful colors of the fruits and vegetables they have! We passed by it a couple of times but never really stopped by because of how crowded it was. One early morning, it was near empty and we were offered free samples. Who doesn't like free samples? I was a little hesitant to try it at first 'cause he wasn't wearing gloves and I'm like hmm.. BUT, the fruits we tasted were so good and sweet. The guy was really nice too (or maybe he was just nice 'cause we seemed like tourists lol), he gave us different samples "made in Washington only". Not really sure if he was lying to us. We wanted to take some fruits back home for my bf's parents to try. We ended up trying a few things from pears, apples, tomatoes, and dried strawberries. We bought 2 pears and 2 apples and it was $8. CRAZY! It was definitely a rip off... in my opinion. Hopefully his parents enjoyed it. I'd recommend this place for people to get free samples, but about buying their stuff. If you're willing to spend a lot, go for it.

This is a tip for all you tourists...THIS OWNER DOESN'T LIKE YOU AND THINKS ALL ASIAN PEOPLE ARE FOREIGN. I came here specifically to buy edible flowers for a dinner party. One of the owners came quick to up-sell us on more produce. We told him we were throwing a 30 person dinner and that I want to compare prices to make sure we stay within our budget. I brought up Safeway and PCC and our conversation went quickly downhill. I'm very much aware of the importance of supporting local business, but as a consumer I'm also thinking of what I can afford. This guy HUMILIATED US IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. He was so belligerent, classiest, and racist. My cousin and I are both Asian American and are born and raised in Seattle. This guy said he wasn't going to sell us any of his stuff and told us to GET OUT, WE DONT WANT SELL TO OUT-OF-TOWNERS...all because we mentioned Safeway and PCC. EXCUSE ME?! However, after walking away, waiting for the owner to leave, we went back to Sosio's. The staff was very apologetic and since my cousin really needed those flowers, he bought them anyway. Personally, I would never give this place my business or really any other produce stall at Pike Place. Way too overpriced and stressful. It's all about going to your local farmer's market.

This place has been here a long time and they really know what they're doing! Just past pure market fish lies this gem! The produce they have out front is vibrant, plump and just plain delicious. We were lower than most recently by a number of different types of mushrooms and fiddleheads. Having an interest in the said fungi but not really knowing how to cook it, we asked a couple of questions of a lady there. She was super nice, made some great suggestions and ultimately wassuper low stress about the situation. She sold us a handful of mushrooms rather than telling us we needed to buy a pound for $40. She also gave our kids samples of some grapes they were absolutely boss! They had a very lychee type taste of them and were great for snacking on while driving home. The most amazing thing about here is that we ended up with four bags of stuff and the total cost came to about $15.super high-quality stuff, very nice people, and delivery to the east side of the state for relatively inexpensive make this a must hit up place!

Let me start by saying I have been frequenting this stand over 10 years. As a local I can promise you Mike and his staff have been slangin' some of the freshest produce you've ever tried. It's all so so good and I've never left the market without a bag full from Sosio's to take home with me. The staff are beyond helpful and if there's something you don't recognize they're more than happy to not only let you try a sample but to make recommendations on how to prepare it when asked. All that said - this is a Pike's Market which receives over 10 million visitors a year. It would be nearly impossible for them to have a positive experience with every single customer to approach this stand and for every single piece of produce to be absolutely perfect, so keep that in mind when reading single experience 1 star reviews. I've never had a negative experience and I've had enough encounters with Mike himself to know he and his staff absolutely do care and they absolutely are passionate about their produce. In summary, shout out to Andrew who helped us on this particular visit, he was fantastic and yes the OMG peaches will change your life!

When you stroll through Pike Place Market, you'll have a hard time missing this place. I was lured in by the words "fresh samples!" and when I saw their selection of fresh produce. The staff are super friendly and gave plenty of samples out. I purchased some muskat grapes (EPIC), organic lettuce, some lemons, basil, and some plums. Everything was wonderful, fresh and absolutely tasty. Would love to come back here again someday.

This place is top notch. We come here just about weekly for produce, as its a short walk from our apartment. The staff is top notch, and the produce is better. Every time I'm here, the staff asks how they can help, and will run off and grab you things like elves. They help keep everything together and out of your hands, and are super quick at ringing you up. I always enjoy how they ask how I'm doing and what I'm cooking. Obviously, the produce is important too and it's always great. Their fruits are always perfectly ripe and available to taste, and the veggies are fresh. The prices are great, even comparable or cheaper than the grocery stores we visit.

I shop here 2-3 times per week. Great produce and great people. They are always willing to give you a sample. If you try it, you'll probably buy it. Why not!

Store is wonderful. Lovely staff, beautiful produce. In the bustle of pike place, there is a rare oddity and item called fruit logs. They are corn syrup, coconut topped, fruit candy logs. If there was a fruit snickers this would be it. 2 for a dollar. My favorite flavors are peach and strawberry. Even the owner says kiwi isn't her favorite. So, after you buy your kale and honey crisps, make sure to treat yourself to fruit logs!

I'm done being butthurt over last time. I've been here a bunch of times since then. What can I say, I like their fruit selection. I haven't had an issue since last time so we're all good.

I don't think I'll ever go back to the grocery store again. Not only is the quality of the produce great, the service is too. Andrew might teach you about the history of a strawberry or how to tell the sweetness of an onion. Such an easy and fun shopping experience.

I was in Seattle yesterday and I bought 5 bags of dried Strawberries, supposed to be $30 each. I tested one for myself to see if I would want one but it was a little too sweet so I knew my family wouldn't help me out. The staff was very friendly, however, I noticed a price mistake on my receipt. I'm usually a pretty shy person, and I don't like confrontation, so I just tried to justify it.. Maybe.. maybe, there's some really strange tax or what not, oh well, I tried not to question it and I didn't want to seem rude to the lady who was helping me out. I was buying these for people so then people would have had to pay me back, and either I would have had to take a loss, or I would have to charge my friends a little extra. Anyhow, my brother convinced me to get on the phone with them (I'm already back in California now), and tell them about the price mistake. I think I spoke to a "Mike", and he was very understanding and helped fixed the situation right away! I'm very thankful that he made it a lot easier than I thought it would be, I was a little stressed out and having some anxiety trying to call, I didn't want to be, "that" customer, but I'm glad it was quick and simple. I'll always love to support a local honest business.
