Stop & Shop Supermarket

Basing my review on the helpful gentleman, Alex. Tonight I went to check out, having picked up some Grillo’s pickles. Never had ‘em before but decided to get them for a memorial day cookout I’m having Monday, based on 2 factors:
1) They have very basic ingredients: cucumbers, brine (water, distilled white vinegar, salt), garlic, fresh dill, grape leaves.
2) Thought they were made in Boston — BUT they’re out of Norwich, CT. Like to support local companies, but it’s all good.
Pickles rang up and they were $ 9.49 before the S&S card… that’s a little too much for me to pay for pickles, not to mention the tag where they were located said $ 4.99. Told the guy at check out to leave them off because they were priced at $ 4.99 and $ 9.49 is too much for pickles.
Just to leave with peace of mind that I didn’t read the price wrong, I went back and checked. I saw nothing stating the pickles we’re $ 9.49. Alex, who was working where the scratch tickets and cigarettes are, asked if there was something he could help me with. I said yes and proceeded to tell my story. He made sure to rectify the situation. He was in the process of telling the workers over near the deli counter that there were, in fact, no price tags where the pickles were located and told me he’d ring the pickles up as the marked price — $ 4.99.
Thanks again, Alex! :) Nicest person I’ve ever encountered at this location!

February 1 Update:
OK, I thought this location was good. Boy, was I wrong…
Came here today in need of groceries. Used scanner guns and noticed that at least 5 – 8 of the items I got came up for the wrong price on the scanner. Went to customer service desk. Manager was so rude and un professional. Stop & Shop corporate as well as the Massachusetts Division Of Standards will be getting a call. Think the managers name is Dan? Not very sure though.
The Walpole & Milford stores are particularly nicer, located at 565 Main Street, Walpole & 196 E Main Street, Milford. I suggest you all go to these other locations.

I just do not understand why people continue to shop here and pay up to 30 percent more for the same items they can purchase from MarketBasket for less. The deli meat prices are sky high. They continue to insult my intelect by placing the dairy items in the far end of the store.
Basically.if you are a real cook this store has nothing to offer. Many years ago (of course) it was a real market where you could find a vast selection of food items. Not anymore.

Stop & Shop is my coffee stop. Since I’ve been in MA I’ve started to fall in love with Dunking Donuts & there is one inside this Stop and Shop!
This grocery store carries a large selection of dried fruit, which I love. Also there’s a card store inside with a large selection of greeting cards. Plus a bank and a movie rental kiosk.
Also Stop & Shop is the only grocery store that provides carry-​out services all year round, regardless of the weather. That’s a plus, if you need assistance to your car.
Great store, great selection!

I had to run over here on a break to pick up a few incidentals that I had forgotten to pack in my haste.
On top of the razor and floss, I had forgotten to pack in a good bottle of hair conditioner, in fear that it would have been tossed by airport security. However, the weather is very dry out here and the minute I stepped out into the cold fray of the morning commute, my hair had turned into a large bush around my head. So dry it had become!
Stop & Shop is the equivalent (in my mind) that of a Raley’s set up. Typical supermarket with large open aisles and a Dunkin Donuts located inside, the coffee smell seducing me.
i located my Mach razor (hey, men’s razors do a better job, in my opinion) and the Frizz Ease hair conditioner. A box of their generic brand of floss and some bandaids for the numerous blisters on my right foot due to all that walking the night before in Boston.
Items are a little bit more on the expensive side, as I think I was paying about a dollar or two more than what I normally would have done at a Walmart or Target.
Checkout staff are cordial, but way more so than the drivers in the parking lot, where I was almost mowed down by a senior citizen in her big Buick.
