I go to the sprouts on route 27, woodbridge maybe. The reasons I went there are just not seen, no bulk items, tiny fruit and vegetable section. I find the worst offense is they have deals (buy one get one 50% off for example) but if you are not super vigilant you will not notice the deal expired, up to a week or more, they won't tell you.. They are hoping you don't notice and pay full price, very deceptive practice. I have a $10 off coming up but I will let go because I would never go back. Oh, and multi vitamins $55, what?

Proof of id required
The internet does not seem to be clear about this. There's a reference on Google that as of Sept this year businesses have to request id on the purchase of alcohol. Then, immediately below there are references that say anyone over 21 or especially 31 is not required to show id. So... I'm 57 and unless you are blind or have no criteria whatsoever its pretty flipping obvious that I am a long way away from the age of 21. This did not stop Miss jobsworth at the checkout insisting that i show her my id with address or divulge my dob upon buying one bottle of white wine and one can of beer. Please. Just Please. This has not happened to me in Texas at the supermarket down the road. Use your brain. Now I'm unlikely to go back to a place where I think employees consider they have the right to wave it around on their customers. I do not appreciate having complete strangers glance at me and take note of my dob and address for no good reason and I won't be coming back. Congratulations on losing a customer, have a nice night. Buh bye!

Second time purchasing prepared meals…
Second time purchasing prepared meals that looked good, but tasted poor. Probably healthy, but if it tastes bad, why bother with it? Vitamins & supplements, Bakery, deli, produce Ok. All else: Nope.

Sprouts Default Delivery Co., Insta Cart is Terrible😱
Shopping at Sprouts Markets is usually OK. BUT, Insta Cart, Sprout's default delivery co., is worse than terrible.😱
Aprox. 98% of ALL the many thousands of reviews of Insta Cart on ALL the major online Review sites are 0ne Star. That really says it all folks.
Sprouts executives ignore this Insta Cart atrocity.

Fresh Sour Milk and Spoiled Fruits
Quite an odd experience but basically the first time I ordered from them in my new place we did Instacart. Everything was good, ice cream still frozen, dry stuff still dry. The fruit was juicy and delicious, the milk was still cold and good as always (Organic Valley).
However the second time I shopped there, we went in person since we were free that day. My girlfriend and I picked out exactly the same fruits as last time, blueberries, blackberries, bananas and oranges for the week. They had no eggs left. We also got milk and various other things but the main focus are the fruits and milk.
Most of the blueberries were sour, and the blackberries were not sweet. The oranges were slightly soft and all of them tasted as if they had been sitting in the sun. Which brings me to the milk: it was sour. I don’t know how it was sour when it was meant to expire a month later, and it wasn’t chunky. It seemed completely normal, but when we went to go drink it, it tasted like someone squeezed lemon juice in it, and smelt funky.
I don’t know if maybe the refrigeration in the truck was out, or the milk and fruit sat out too long before being put in the fridges at the store, but they were basically a waste of money. Almost 50 bucks down the drain.
Usually we stick to Aldi, it seems we’ll be going there and trying our local farmers for produce and dairy from now on.

Ridiculously priced
Went to the grand opening last year in Cliffwood, NJ. I couldn’t believed how overpriced they were! Needless to say, I went in and left and didn’t buy a thing. I will never go back there again.

Frustration
I applied for a job as an assistant manager at the vitamins section. I had an informal interview in-store followed by a phone interview. The interviewer on the phone was very pleased and put me through to the final stages of the interview processes, with the store managers. After a week of hearing nothing, I contacted the phone interviewer and stated I could, she was surprised I had not been approached and again said she would inform the manager.
This review isn't about not getting the job, it is about the frustration of how large companies treat people, and keep them hanging in the air not knowing what is going on. Surely, managers have staff who they can delegate such tasks as informing people as to what is going on.
Feeling frustrated and let down by a company whos values state "we care genuinely and deeply about our customers, our people, our communities and our families".
This does not come across.

As I scroll through 82 pages on your…
As I scroll through 82 pages on your webpage just to find a few items that are supposed to be on sale. I can't tell you how often it makes me scream within. I was looking at your monthly sales its a mess could you just put them in order like if it's toothpaste put all the toothpaste together if it's shampoo. Put it shampoo together which is what I was looking for and never could find on your monthly ad. This society is making me crazy. I don't even want to shop anymore. You all made it so complicated if you have something on sale it's on sale.
