| - I will start this review with an educated opinion of already not liking Fry's as a whole. They never EVER have decent prices on the things I want. Basic things.
This location does have a decent setup, they are improving their selection of Produce and ORGANIC, which is nice. They really have a separate area for that niche, which is very unique.
The reason I am reviewing today in particular is because of an odd experience with another BASIC thing. Water. I went there for water because we had none at home, and it is around the corner. This was the only reason I went there. I find that they REALLY limit you to either Arrowhead or Kroger (Fry's brand) for spring water. I had gotten the Arrowhead 'gallon' last time and realized that they completely jip you! They make the bottle LOOK like a gallon, but it is 3 pints and something ounces. It is $1.20 as well! When you finish the gallon unexpectedly quickly, you see the cone shape they cut into it from the bottom. Undermining the customer. I tried the Fry's brand this time to get a better deal, even though I saw it was from Seven Springs, AZ which is probably not a real spring water source.
I bring it home, and my fiance and I take it in stainless steel bottles in the car, and we notice during the drive it tastes kind of metallic! We think it's the new bottles, and we realize later at home that it continues to taste like that straight from the gallon! It tasted like water after having been left in the car for DAYS in a plastic bottle. It tasted like melted plastic. And I know like a dog knows scents what that water tastes like when that happens. I forced myself to drink it one time for an entire day or two. It makes your throat feel dry and weird, and it makes your head hurt, and it makes you feel nauseous, and it never quenches your thirst how normal water does. You can FEEL the badness in it. I am guessing since this is an AZ source, and a cheap brand, that the workers who haul it and load it up leave it out in the heat for too long, maybe even being too hot in the semi truck trailers. All I know is that THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR A HUMAN, and that IT IS ESPECIALLY NOT SAFE FOR MY PREGNANT FIANCE. I took it back, and of course the guy acted weird seeing someone return water saying it tasted like melted plastic. I don't care, this stuff is contaminated and I know it. So much for the substituted convenience of going to the closer Fry's instead of my favored Safeway location a mile or two away.
