This is my updated review from a 1 star rating.
This particular Woodmans has rubbed me the wrong way!
#1 complaint---Their produce is cheap and goes bad within a day if not used immediately! To name a few things: Forget buying green peppers or nice lettuce/spinach here---unless u want to eat them within a day of purchase. I've had one too many bad produce problems to say anything positive.
#2 complaint--- There are too many people using too many methods of payment at the registers, which in turn is holding up the lines.
In specific:I sat for a very long time as a I watched a couple trying to reach a specific dollar amount ($200) and continued to ask for how much they purchased while they grabbed multiple sources of junk food (candy bars) to fulfill their transaction and held up the line.
The last time I checked my shopping must be completed when I decide to get in line and check out.
-Hey Woodman's----Try adding some more open registers. I do not want to sit in line to check out for long periods of time when I see you have so many registers just sitting there not being used. Look at your parking lot----It is always full of cars!!! This should tell you one thing, hire more people!
-If you would like to avoid confrontation in your stores, please start providing training to your cashiers to move things along better when people are trying hold up the line-----I'm paying cash or debit card and will not be taking any longer to pay then a few seconds. ----Maybe make a few registers open for "cash or debit card only". or a line that says "for customers that have fully completed their shopping experience".
#3 Complaint--=This store is HUGE! If you forget something on your list (if you made a list) your going to have to run across the entire store to go get it. We are talking long isles, and lots of them. Too much trouble for me just to head back for a loaf of bead when I'm standing in the ice cream isle.
I think there are many other store options in the Madison area better than this particular Woodman's.
Woodman's is employee owned, and for that instead of a previous "1 star" I give them "2 stars". Not to mention they do have a very nice liquor department. But overall---I'm not reviewing a liquor store, am I?
This store is popular to the masses and is usually swamped with people, so if you plan to come here, please prepare yourself in advance for pure craziness.
Not my first choice for grocery shopping in the Madison Area.
