| - This is consistently the worst Giant Eagle around. Thankfully, I live about equidistant between it and the Greenfield one, which is leaps and bounds above (and still not that great, which says a lot, lol).
The aisles are tiny, and there are often people backed into them while waiting in line at the register, as there are NEVER enough cashiers. I have seen lines of 10+ people here at 11:30 at night.
They also have a limited selection of food, since they are such a small store. The produce is usually abysmal (rotten grapes FTW), and the bread selection is cleaned out a good portion of the time.
The pros: the deli staff is really nice, as they have a ton of patience in dealing with elderly customers who want to sample everything before they buy it (and I am usually stuck in line behind those people...). They have a Kosher bakery with some delicious breads and also homemade garlic butter. And, they're the only place in Squirrel Hill on Murray that has a parking lot (and also on the bus line if you don't drive).
But that's where it stops. I'm just grateful that there is a nice, big, well-stocked GE across McKnight Road from my gym. This GE is there for emergencies only in my mind.
