“I feel as though one is not supposed to say anything negative about YDFM. Friends of mine who recommended it to me when I moved back to Atlanta last year spoke of it as a sort of Holy Grail. And indeed, it has a fantastic selection and the produce is very fresh and very cheap.

“But I think in exchange for cheap and fresh, you have to give up certain rights. There are no returns, for example. A friend realized at his car that he had forgotten eggs that he had PAID for already on the counter and when he went back literally two minutes later, they said we can’t help you (no refund, no new carton of eggs, no original carton of eggs — just go away).

“And recently they refused to charge me a particular price even though it was written on a big sign, saying simply they had already changed the price in the computer and I was out of luck. No ’sorry,’ no okay we’ll let this through but just so you know it’s the wrong price, not even a ‘really really sorry but we can’t change it.’ Just STFU and accept it.”

It’s interesting to hear conflicting reports on the health of the business. The produce prices are very very low. The prices for cheese and wine are also reasonable. As much as I detest the store’s total lack of customer service — not poor, not subpar, completely LACKING — I think it may be unique here in Atlanta. The old Harry’s Farmers Market in Marietta is similar in many ways, but I think it has Whole Foods pricing, rather than YDFM pricing, which means I do limited shopping there.

Anyway, great to see so many people are watching this issue.

Not that going on Sunday is any fun. I really dread it. It’s so crowded.

Oh, and not that I’m defending their ridiculous policies and awful customer service. Just saying…if you still want to get your food from them, like I do, then go on Sunday.

Complainers…sheesh
