I love The Larder, as I have been shopping here for close to 20 years.
Everytime I go in, I am always greeted and asked if I need help.
Today, was very different. First off, there were two people behind the counter, a young man and an older woman. I have never seen either one of them before.
Usually, the staff wears green smock-style aprons with "The Larder" printed across the chest. These two people were not wearing aprons.
When I got up to the register, I asked about a specific product's availability and was looked at like I was from another planet. I asked again and was given a quick, non direct, somewhat of an answer. Then after I paid, I said "thank you", to which both employees stood silent and turned away. No "you're welcome", no "have a nice day". That is definitely not the normal there. Also, I was not given a bag- I had to struggle carrying my purchases to the car.
I hope the original owner is alright and was just off for the day. If today was any indication of how the store will be from now on, I think I will shop elsewhere.
I hate to say what an unpleasent experience I had, as I have always enjoyed shopping here.
