I didn't like that about Penzey's, either, Carol. Don't drag customers
into your politics.

I don't have a spice shop nor any sort of international market near
where I live now. At one time I did live near an actual Penzey's
Market. They opened a store in Germantown, TN. A hop, skip and a jump
from my apartment. And I was taking some classes for work practically
across the street shortly after they opened. So I went in there one day
on the lunch break. OMG... the heavenly scent of herbs and spices was
amazing. They had little baskets set out like potpourri. I spent an
entire hour in there. I have to say, Penzey's shops smell wonderful.
I didn't walk out empty handed.
