text: Good lord what a joke The first thing I see as I approach is a reserved section next to the handicapped parking labeled Hybrid Only parking okay fine They are really pushing the idea of them being Earth Friendly pfft do not make me laugh We wander in and start looking at the generic looking products lining the shelves Shipped in from France What How much gas did that take Shipped fresh from Costa Rica Ha I am sure that is cheaper and more Earth Friendly and fresher than just using local or even just closer suppliers nnAnother thing we noticed as we walked through the two sets of triple sliding glass electric doors very earth conscious and frugal was that it was below degrees inside There are seriously big thick jackets for the employees to wear at the check stands How much resources does it waste to keep it this cold Especially in Arizona I am sure with all the CFCs being released this place has a bigger energy footprint than a suburban block full of homes Environmentally friendly my dirty asshole nnPerhaps the worst offense aside from the fact that nothing is made here and instead is shipped in is that it is all packaged in excess plastic Everything is wrapped in plastic and in plastic trays Even apples I cannot pick an individual apple I have to get a little family of four and their little house too I guess I could recycle it if it did not have a paper sticker on it oops Also I get that part of the appeal here is the organic fad so there are not any preservatives but seriously it seems like everything here expires like tomorrow Not so Fresh ehnnLet me just hop in my Hybrid and head across town past other grocery stores to the Fresh and Easy market where I can wander around in a frozen tundra environment grabbing food that is minutes away from expiring after being flown or shipped in from other countries on massive gas guzzling planes or ships then across our country in gas guzzling big rigs Then I can check myself out and bag my own shit in plastic bags because the luxury of having someone else do it makes me feel useless after a long day at work Then I can go home and really feel good about myself and the positive effect I am having on the environment nnIn their defense the bags are reportedly recycled material and they urge you to drive all the way back to the store so they can recycle them they will not reuse them but they will send them out to be recycled as far as I know plastic bags are not recyclable nnWe bought fixins to make a pizza I should have just gone to DeFalcos and bought the shit There was a lot of stuff they just did not have they JUST got Pepperonis apparently and they were just Gallo that you could get at any store In fact half of what they sell is their own Easy branding which is pretty generic looking something I am perfectly fine with The other half is just the same shit you can get at any grocery store nnTheir prices are pretty decent I will give them that If they had one right down the street from me I would probably shop at it once in awhile and fill out comment cards frequently about their flagrant hypocrisies Overall though do not be fooled this place is bullshit
