There seem to be some rather venomous reviews on here, seems bizarre to get so upset about a grocery store. At any rate, I feel the money I save is worth the crowd. I would say the store is older, but clean. It is true that there are usually few employees aside from the register, but everything is clearly marked and visible. If you need someone to help you understand how to shop, bring a friend. The service desk is staffed and friendly. I guess I look at grocery shopping as a chore anyways, and I am always able to get in and out in a timely fashion with no headaches. From my perspective, save some cash, leave your credit card at home (not a bad idea anyhow), and get your groceries.
