Alex,
I have had similar experiences. I also have found the store to be unwilling to even consider a customer suggestion concerning products to carry.
Unfortunately, some of the employees (and customers) at Island Naturals have real superior "more laid back and organic than thou" attitudes. I have had to try to shop while staff are blocking the aisles talking story with friends, and once one even gave me a flippant response about "slow down, this ain't the mainland" when I politely asked if they could move so I could reach my item. Some of us spend our days working at jobs, not hanging out all day, and just want to pick up a few things so we can make dinner. I don't need someone telling me I have a problem when I politely ask for a little space to get the food I came in for. It is a grocery store, not a singles bar!
