Not encouraging.
As an aside the entrance looks like a demolition derby to get out, esp. heading northbound

I was at the opening day, which was only 2 days ago. The "recent High Holy days" were in September of last year. Unless you mean the Christian high holy day of Easter, which isn't until April. So if they reported to you the price of eggs at the 2-day-ago event, last September, then you need to go to your local preacher and let them know you've spoken to god.
Second of all - I didn't see any eggs for $12/dozen. Happy Eggs were available at $6-something, and they had Handsome Eggs as well for nearly the same price, maybe a little more. They ALSO had Heritage Eggs for something like $9/dozen, but those are specialty eggs and you're paying the premium for that. I personally wouldn't, I'd just go to a farm that had a variety of breeds and ask for a mixed dozen from them, for around $6/dozen.
They had other eggs as well, all within the $5-9 range, per dozen.
The register worked fine while I was there, maybe this happened in the first couple of hours of being opened or after I left. I was there around lunch time.
Their prices are similar to those at Publix, but Sprouts specializes in produce and offers a wide variety of local seasonal produce.
