| - This is a nice, clean store and one of the few places I can buy sprouts.
The cashiers are always super nice and friendly.
One time I was looking for an advertised item and couldn't find it, so I asked a stock person walking by. She looked, couldn't find it, went and got the manager. He looked, couldn't find it, the next thing I know, he's got three or four people looking for the item. I was kind of embarrassed---I was only going to buy a couple. When they couldn't find the item, the manager told me to buy a different brand of the same item and he would honor the sale price. I ended up buying triple the quantity because they had all tried so hard and gone to so much trouble. But that's the kind of folks they are---helpful to the nth degree.
The meat counter makes these yummy prepared chicken breasts---an easy dinner. Just take 'em home and throw 'em in the oven or on the grill. A couple of times I have gone in and and requested a kind they didn't have made up. The meat counter folks sent me off to cruise the store for a few minutes and they whipped me up a couple to order. The meat guy also told me if I call ahead and they don't have them at that moment, they'll have them ready for me when I get there. That's service!
However---the deli. DH and I love the chicken salad. Extraordinary good stuff. But the ladies behind the deli counter are usually grumpy, unfriendly, not-very-helpful people. They act like they are doing you a favor to wait on you. The best of the lot is this 30-ish girl with long dark hair---she tries to be helpful and cheerful. The good news is after a lot of experimenting, I think I have figured out the secret of the chicken salad---or so DH says---so I only need to hit the deli when I just don't have the time or ambition to rock out my own chicken salad.
The wine selection is very good and they have some great sales.
So, since I can avoid the deli if I want, overall, this is a great Basha's.
