Questions & Comments 8/6/26-9/3/26
Q: Get organic corn starch please
A: We do carry organic corn starch in the baking section. “Let’s Do It Again” organic corn starch. -Kevin, Operations Manager
Q: What kind of sauce do you use on the buffalo chicken in the hot bar? (Make this more!!!)
A: Franks Red Hot and butter! Classic! Thanks – will do – 😊 -Vince, Food Services Manager
Q: Please add an additional DO NOT ENTER sign (on other side, “ENTRY HERE”). Many bicyclists are now using this as their entry. I love bicycles, but this is not safe to do. Maybe the tree near the sign distracts reading – but I do think another sign would be well worth its cost to mitigate chance of car-bike collision.
A: Please call me, I’m not sure I understand. -Kevin, Operations Manager 802-262-3205
Q: Make sandwiches again. More bahn mis. More vegan. No meat in salad bar!
A: If you ever come in and bahn mi sandwiches are not available, please ask someone. We will make you one! Thanks! -Vince, Food Services Manager
Q: For the Grab & Go: Some of the meats – smoked turkey, roast chicken come to mind – sell out quickly. They are generally sold out by 3 on Sat and Sun. While I plan my shopping to try and get in by 1:00 on the weekends, it’s disappointing they aren’t restocked more during the afternoon.
A: I will share this with the deli team. Please as us if you don’t see what you want in the case. Thanks. -Vince, Food Services Manager
Q: Could just be missing it, but I haven’t seen mac n’ cheese at hot bar in a little while. Are you still doing it/ It’s my favorite. Thank you.
A: Comin soon in the menu rotation. Please check back. Thanks -Vince, Food Services Manager
Q: I suggest more hot bar variety. And when is sushi delivered?
A: The sushi company lost its lease, we are not working with them at this point. We are trying to find a replacement. -Kevin, Operations Manager
Q: Might co-op consider a policy about AI-generated flyers on the community resources boards? (specifically, not allowing them) Thank you for all you do!
A: I am not sure how I would determine that. Is there a particular flyer you have an issue with? -Rowan, Community Relations Manager
Q: Pretty grossed out by staff member Gary’s “Gulf of America” tee shirt. Doesn’t reflect the inclusive and accepting values I trust the co-op for.
A: We live in a democracy and don’t always agree with everyone’s political views. One of the guiding principles of a co-op is democracy! We do not censor what staff/members wear in the store. -Kevin, Operations Manager
Q: Why is the standard for unit pricing measured different for nearly identical products? For example, Primal Kitchen ketchup, unsweetened: 8.64/lb. Primal Kitchen ketchup, honey sweetened: 16.42/qt.
A: Unit pricing is strictly monitored by the state. The producer (vendor) decides the pricing on their label and we have to follow suit. Call if you have questions. -Kevin, Operations Manager 802-262-3205

Q: We would benefit from more plants!! Hanging from the lighting frames, on the cooler cases… it is worth the time and money. <3 <3 <3

Q: The bulk dish liquid is always empty each week when we shop. We’re trying to reduce our plastic, but had to buy non-bulk due to poor availability.
A: Thank you for your comment. We have just brought in a new bulk dish soap – Restore Naturals. We were having trouble getting what we needed from Common Good and there were dispensing issues. We hope this new brand will be better. Please give your feedback if you try the new brand. Thanks. -Crystal Arellano, Wellness Manager
