Are the pokemon center vending machines for customers or employees??? Every time I walk into this location I've seen employees, both sales AND managers, either tap to check or full on stand in front of the machine for several minutes tapping it. I just saw a salesperson standing in front of the machine and when I walked up he said I just missed a drop and that the machines have been dropping good stuff lately. Gee, nice to know

The products are good not a huge selection of items but it seems pricey. They are open a bit later so it does the job when your in a rush to get something.

Friendly, clean, and efficient. Special shout out to Victoria that is first in at the Starbucks counter in the am. The condiment area is spotlessly clean always, and I've never seen 5 people in line get their drinks so quickly. You can tell that she is a leader.

Went there for a few items. The "fresh" bread was cold, as in from the refrigerator cold, so didnt get it. Looked at their coffee but not on sale so we didnt even bother with it and left only for the empty cart to freze in the middle of the exit and an alarm go off. Guess they figured we were stealing. And I guess I figure I'll keep going to Wegmans and Aldi.

Like this location. It's spacious. I shop here at least 2-3 times a month. Quality of produce and meats are pretty good. Never had an issue with any of it. 🫡
