New items you’ve purchased at the grocery store

The only time I saw a very handy setup like that at my local Sprouts was during the Grand Opening weekend. I understood your circumstances, mine was with the coffee bins. My impression after speaking with the store Mgr. is that the store setups creates a need for employees to stay vigilant. Sprouts seems to leave a good deal of food loose and out of packaging. Perhaps the staff keep an eye on samples so they stay “one to a customer” reminds me of Costco and folks who “graze” the sample stations.

Actually, this is my second purchase of the product. These are really really really good. Better than pickles.

If it helps Sprouts any, I recently forgot some expensive lotion on the bagging area after paying.

By which I mean at the time, I assume they will sell it again.

Or have been holding it at Customer Service awaiting your return.

Go back with your receipt and tell them what happened. I’m sure you will get a replacement!

Is it pomelos, or yuzu? For some reason I always thought it was yuzu. Both of them smell fantastic, and pomelos are one of my favorite fruits. They’ve been coming into grocery stores since September, but they’ve been extremely expensive. Looking forward to a few sales for me to finally get one!

A yuzu bath is traditionally done on the northern hemisphere’s winter solstice, the shortest・darkest day of the year which falls on either 12/21, 12/22 or 12/23 (this year it’s 12/21).

Putting pomelos into a bathtub isn’t really something that is done only on specific days, but generally in winter (which would make sense as that’s when they’re in season!)

IIRC, it’s easier in this country to find pomelos around Chinese New Year when they are one of the traditional gifts. I did see some in the market yesterday, but they weren’t looking too fresh and were high priced to boot!
