| - Man, I hate this place, going to be honest. My partner and I jokingly call it one of the circles of hell, and once every week and a half or so we ride 5 subway stops to shop elsewhere so we can avoid the price gouging and general stress of going to this Metro. The set upppp. I understand space is limited, but it's basically impossible to go anywhere without squeezing yourself through a crush of people just to get to any given aisle, which are narrow and organized strangely.
It's stupidly expensive, which is a huge bummer bc the only other grocer in my location is Whole Foods, so it's either spend a ton or spend a ton. You can buy double the food at the price you'll spend here at No Frills or the like.
The freshness is also bad. The only positive thing I have to say about this place is that they sold me a ricotta that was two months expired (all of them in the section turned out to be that old) and they were nice about giving me replacements for all the ingredients that had been in the meal that was ruined. We've had chicken go bad nearly immediately, the fruits and veggies are usually old/bitter/dry and sparsely stocked (an issue throughout the store that pairs with the weird organization of product), and bread products mould rapidly. We are much more careful about checking dates at this point, but I'm going to be THAT GUY and say that you shouldn't have to wonder if product is already expired at the grocery store. FIFO.
This is an unusually pissy review for me, but this place is just painful. It's also rare to get a cashier that isn't sullen and slow as HECK, which is frustrating when every line is so long it's blocking half the store.
The cheese selection is ok-I feel bad exclusively complaining, ha.
