This is my preferred grocery store. I love the produce here generally and I can find most of what I need at this location. The produce managers are always very friendly and helpful. I can generally find some good deals on the meats and fish. I love the selection of artisian breads in the bakery when I allow myself that indulgence. There are so many tempting cheeses and specialty deli cuts. You can find pancetta, proscuitto, buffalo mozzarella, pestos and a nice selection of olives, too.
Each area is always well stocked and the employees almost always know how to find that hard to find ingredient right away. The cashiers are always knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.
Two things I would like to see for a five star rating for me:
* One is that the plastic bags are more visible and accessible in the produce area. Yesterday three of the areas for the bags were empty. It doesn't make sense to display all these wonderful fruits and veggies and try to sell them if you don't provide a way for your customers to easily gather them for purchase.
* Secondly, I would like to see the grocery carts entirely cleaned. It's pretty gross to pull out a cart and the dirt between the openings is visible or there are spills there. I have mentioned this to management before more than once, but I still see dirty carts. Think about it, all the food you're going to eat that week goes into that cart. This situation is not unique to this store, but many grocery stores. I know they have a service that cleans them every so often. It just never seems clean to me.
