Stop & Shop

First the produce STINKS. It takes me FOREVER to find anything decent. There is very little to select from that’s organic, too. BIG disappointment there. The milk is always disgusting with caked on dried up milk all over the place, including on the jugs. The checkout lanes are always a cluster. I literally watched one «manager» watching over them and just standing while everyone struggled (myself, included — I was bagging as quick as possible). Was there today and there was ONE lane open and only a few self help lanes, which take FOREVER (the older folk who frequent this store are CLUELESS). I only go here because it’s close by but it is pretty poor quality place to shop. Not the worst I’ve ever seen but far, far from the best.

I think this is one of the better Stop & Shop’s in the area. If you’re looking for specific things sometimes they won’t have that particular brand or something, but other than that it is a good store. Whenever I go it’s never packed, and even parking is relatively easy considering the size of the plaza /​parking lot. Prices are about the same as any. I always think Stop & Shop is one of the more expensive food stores, but it’s not outrageous. The staff at this location is also friendly and helpful.

Nice and organized store off Route 70. Easy to shop and find things. Not hugely busy during dinner hour unlike some stores. It didn’t seem overly expensive but not cheap either. There were good sales to take advantage of. The employee I interacted with was not especially helpful or welcoming. The deli manager helped us later and was terrific. friendly, helpful and offered samples. We used their scanning wand and scanned and bagged as we went along so checkout was speedy. The other time I went I did complete self checkout. just scan your stuff at the end and pay and go. They have a courtesy card (rewards) and you can earn gas rewards. It had the items I wanted, parking was a breeze and I self checked. I will be back.

I do most of my bi-​weekly grocery shopping at this Stop & Shop because it is essentially across the street from where I work, but it is very limited in terms of its inventory because of its size. There are often specific things for which I must go to another store (usually the ShopRite on Fischer), such as fresh breads, specific cuts of meat, or certain types of produce, but I’m the kind of person that likes to plan my dinners when I figure out what I want to eat that day, so it’s not really an inconvenience. I’m in a grocery store almost every other day anyway.
People tell me this store is expensive compared to others, but I disgree with that based on all the evidence to the contrary. When I make the aforementioned twice a month trip here, it’s usually about $ 50 cheaper for me than at ShopRite. One of the things I really like about Stop & Shop is that for much of the year, they run a program where you accumulate points on your courtesy card toward a 5% off coupon, and I find I’ve usually earned one every second trip or so.
As far as this particular location is concerned, it has a lot of things going for it, not the least of which being that it is right next door to a large Buy Rite liquor store, which makes it very easy to pick up whatever is required there at the same time. The staff is very friendly, and they have an excellent deli counter, though the number of human-​attended checkout aisles is often very limited. Fortunately, the lines never seem to be very long.

I have been shopping at this store since it opened. Though, all tell me, it’s a expensive grocery store, I beg to differ. It may be a few pennies more, then say Shop Rite, but I always end up spending more at other stores.
I am usually in and out, most days the lines are pretty short. Sometimes they are a little short handed and the lines are at the level of leaving my cart and going home, aggravated.
This one perticuler store is in the process of a major remodel. I am not good with change. They have this store turned upside down. I am not one for going food shopping, it’s right up there with going for a flu shot. Has to be done, get it over with as quick as possible. This store at the moment is right up there with a root canal.
I always loved this store and knew where everything was, and went right for it. Now the ice cream is in isle 57 and the toppings for the ice cream is in isle 2??? Are you for real. HOPE IT GETS BETTER.
I will re post when I see the change, and find it a little easier to handle.
