| - 1280 mg of sodium in one "fresh and easy" chicken wrap to-go. Uhm, no thanks.
I circled the store 3 times before finally finding what I was looking for (and even then I felt like it was an accident, like "Eureka! There they be!"). What did i come here specifically for? Their individually packaged trail mix. I had a coupon - $5 off my purchase - so i found some other great buys too: 4 big Fuji apples for $1.98; breakfast granola bars; generous package of strawberries for $2; and sliced smoked Gouda cheese (80 calories per slice). These things I approve of, as well as certain prices on their wine, salsa/bean dip and other fresh veggies and fruit.
Selection is limited and the store feels like a warehouse. Their self-check out is cool, though if you need assistance, be ready to wait. Workers are too busy stocking shelves. While wandering the aisles, not one said hello or asked if I was finding everything okay. At check-out, I lucked out. An employee walked by just as I hung a giant, blinking question mark across my face (or that's what I imagined it looked like).
"I have a coupon," I said, "but when I scanned it, it said it wasn't available yet." He took my coupon, punched the screen hard and often (like he was hacking into the system), swiped my coupon, slipped it inside some slot I hadn't noticed existed...and then walked away, long before I could understand what had just happened, let alone mumble a thank you.
I picked up my two bags of "fresh and not-so-easy" groceries and left.
