- HSHerman SchweizerSep 25, 20251.0The only reason for the one star is they have shopping carts in the front. The waiting in the Deli, Customer Service depts are horrendous. More than often Customer Service is closed or there is no one to help. When you need something from a locked up cabinet you must wait forever for someone to come and help you. The staff seems very unhappy, rude and shows a lackluster morale.
