    Won't shop here again. I was checking out and there was an error with the card reader. The cashier told me my card was declined and immediately called over a manager to intervene. I asked why and she said that if a card declines it's their policy. I asked why again and she said so people don't steal their cart of groceries. She didn't want me to swipe my card again but I did since I knew it was a read error and not a decline. As the manager stepped up, my card ran successfully and the cashier said we were actually all set. By this time loss prevention was sticking their head out of the office looking at us. I don't appreciate being treated like a thief when the card just failed to read. You're going to lose more money by treating customers like this than the random person who tries to run out with a cart of groceries. If someone was really going to do that, why would they even go to the cashier first? Absolutely absurd.

    Went by to grab cheesecake from the bakery it was 7:30 pm and all the refrigerated desserts were cleared out there was not one thing in the case! They close at 10 pm. What’s the deal?

    Remodeled the store to install more lanes of self-check out machines, making customers do even more work than ever before. The store is more expensive than the local competitors, and is severely understaffed because the executives are making the customers do more labor. Lanes that have workers often don’t have baggers - and many staff to supervise the customers doing the labor of scanning their huge orders slowly. This does not save money - it just turns customers off from your store. I go out of my way to avoid this store now.

    We don't get a chance to shop here much given its proximity to home, but when in the area I usually swing in, there are great deals if you have a S&S card so we stock up. In addition, the bakery, deli, produce, and seasonal sections are great.
