Sprouts Market 30.06

[HillRider]

Is Sprouts the one that used to be Sun Harvest, I think near I-10 and 410? If so, that is garbage and will continue to go to HEB. If you can't carry at the grocery store, where can you carry? It seems that more and more of my life is now spent at one those bastards.

On Callaghan? Yeah, I believe that's them. They also have stores on 281 near 1604 and one on Nacogdoches and 410.

It is a grocery store, but they like to promote a "hip" image by calling it a farmer's market. It's nothing like a traditional farmer's market...

Ahhh! Kinda like the organic crap the dykes are selling downtown! !

Yeah, not a traditional farmers market. We got both kinds here.

I love organic free range foods and eat them as much as possible.

Ya know, deer, dove, catfish, home grown beef....

Where do they post 30.06? I shop at Sprouts for certain things, and I have yet to ever see a 30.06 sign at any of the locations I've gone to.

Well, believe it or not I do eat as much local grown, organic and free range as I can.

The things that big industry does to our food infuriates me.

/ConAgra /Tyson /General Mills /Cargill

Currently looking for a good raw milk source in my area.

I'm not against GMO except when it comes to our food. I think it is great for industries like cotton (and yes I am aware that some cotton products make their way into the food supply). Dairy has been raped over and again by hormone modification to the point it has created a complete change in puberty age in children (which creates social and developmental problems).

The things we eat, and the lab created additives really are what we are.

I opt out of it every chance I get.

Not being preachy, I have more of a Laissez-faire attitude when it comes to the gastronomical choices others make. Just sayin' that not everyone who goes free range/organic is a dirty, hemp sandal wearing hippy.

Some of them are boot wearing, gun carrying, flag waving, liberal infuriating conservatives.

The Sprouts in McKinney was not 30.06d the last time I was there.

The Sprouts in McKinney was not 30.06d the last time I was there.

I'm pretty familiar with this type of thing. Probably what happened is the company has a written policy (primarily for employees) against carrying firearms in the store. This is mainly, I would imagine, for legal or insurance purposes and it goes unenforced for the most part company-wide, most managers and employees not having a problem with CC customers, You might have had an over-zealous, anti-gunner manager at this location learn of the Texas requirement for the proper sign and decide to have it posted . This inconsistent enforcement of company policies has gotten people killed, like Erik Scott at the Costco in Las Vegas. I would avoid Sprouts, as well as Costco, at all costs.

I think that is the point of the OP post. They are putting signs up all over Texas. I have read about it in SA and other cities on other forums.

Last week I was at the Sprouts in Cedar Hill, there were no 30.06 signs to be found.

I go to sprouts all the time, called and talked the manager and he said that was their new policy. He also told me that he didn't agree with it asked if I would let sprouts know that I was not happy about the policy and was hopeful that if enough people voiced their dislike of the policy that it would change. Told him that I would email them and also that until they change it I won't be spending any more money with them. He was very understanding and was sorry to loose a customer.

 

[Southpaw]

They call it "concealed carry" ​for a reason.

If I'm reading you right, My thoughts exactly.

As much as the thought is nice, I wish to have my rights respected and will give others the same respect, even if I disagree.

Luckily I don't shop there anyways so I'm not gonna miss out on much.

Thank you for the link, just emailed them also. I hope even if you don't shop at Sprouts that all of you on this forum would send them an email too. If you have a Facebook account that you comment on it also, maybe we can get this policy changed.

 

[cbigclarke]

i blasted them on facebook

 

[ares338]

I really haven't encountered too many 30.06 signs but when I do...I just leave. Later I email then and respectfully tell them why they have lost my business until they remove said sign. I realize they probably don't care about a single complaint but I do it anyway. There are plenty of stores around that aren't operated by liberals and THAT'S where I go.

Just an update on this there is a thread on this on arfcom as well. There is a good post with a copy/paste statement that you can email or post on their facebook. However, one of the members has gotten a reply from Sprouts' CS stating this:

Dear, XXXXX




Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas about our decision to prohibit firearms in our stores. Please understand that we recognize and respect our customers’ rights under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a right that prohibits the government (but not private retailers) from infringing on citizens’ right to bear arms.
That right, however, must be balanced with our need as a retailer to address concerns of a majority of our customers and team members. That's why, after careful and thoughtful analysis, we have decided to prohibit our customers and our team members from bringing firearms onto our store premises.
While this decision may disappoint some of our valued customers, such as yourself, we stand by our decision and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our communities about it.

In other words, go f- yourselves. So yuppieville (Whole Foods) and Central Market (a better store in my opinion) will now be getting my money for groceries. I sent in the copy/paste message to their CS expressing my disgust. For those interested, here is a link to the arfcom post and the statement:

Never seen the 30.06 sign at costco, and we go to new one in Sugarland ever other week

Never been to sprouts prob not going either

Exactly. I do not care if they change it. In fact, I hope they don't and lose money and go out of business.

yup
