Rude condescending staff! - Edit
An absolutely terrible experience I had whilst visiting the Baldwins Elephant & Castle shop today, it was a totally weird one. From the moment I walked into the shop, I was totally ignored by the shop assistant woman with the Mohican hair cut who continued a conversation with a friend about bracelets. I did not even get the usual common courtesy of, ‘I will be with you shortly’ or any other form of greeting. When the sales assistant eventually got around to serving me, I politely asked her if I could have 500g of a herbal product but made up into 100g bags as per usual, I always buy 500g in 100g bags to share with friends from Baldwins without any problems. The sales assistant rudely told me that it was against shop policy to sell 500g made up with 100g bags. I explained to her that I had bought the item many times before in 100g bags and the other sales assistants were happy to sell it. The sales assistant then thought it necessary to lecture me on why she will not be selling the item in this fashion. As I could see the potential of the situation becoming very heated with things getting out of hand I told the assistant that she was welcome to do as she sees fit. On her return, which was some time in the stock room, I asked her why she felt the need to chastise customers and she rudely asked me if I thought I had the right to adopt an attitude. I calmly explained to the assistant that everyone had an attitude whether good or bad and she was giving bad customer service.

Pros: Local , Clean
Cons: Rude condescending staff, Expensive compared to other online stores ,

Great range of health, eco-friendly, organic and vegan items. Two neighbouring premises, part herbalist, part health food store, part everything healthy tangentially related to the above. Wonderful

Great Selection - Edit
Quaint pair of stores (one side remedies and lifestyle, the other foods etc.) stocking a broad range of products. Various vegan/organic/eco-friendly brands in a nice, open environment. Staff are usually welcoming and knowledgeable!
