| - So I've begun to shop at HyVee more and more often lately. I usually visit the east side store in Madison and I'm always pleased with my experience. My cousins are west siders and they rave about the west side HyVee, so I checked it out today.
First thing, the music is waaaay too loud and obnoxious. I mean seriously! It smacks you in the face when you walk in. It was very distracting while I was trying to check out the store. The layout, prices and most everything seems very similar to the east side store. The free wifi would not connect, however.
One thing many people have remarked on is the great buffet and dining area food available to eat in-store. I strolled by to see what the offerings were, and there are definitely a lot of them. I'll come back when I have time to have a meal. Meanwhile, they were offering samples of three different types of chicken. I grabbed a toothpick with a piece of sesame chicken, and instantly regretted it. It was a cold rubbery Chicken McNugget that tasted like it had been dipped in sugar syrup. It was coated in sesame seeds, but I could not taste them. I literally had to find a place to spit it out.
The highlight of this visit was a lovely lady named Charly who was my cashier. I asked her about the fuel rewards program, and she went into so much detail and gave me so many good tips for how to maximize the gas discounts for my purchases. I am always so impressed by the cashiers at the east side HyVee, and now I see that west side is great, too.
Four stars, but turn down the music and I'll make it five. :-)
