| - Just visited the new WinCo in Surprise, but did so at 6 a.m. when it was cooler out, and the parking lot was easier to navigate. Overall, a nice place with decent prices and items in-stock & on the shelves for easy access. Some items are jumbo-packs, but most items are standard sizes at good prices. Just a few complaints...The fact that they do not accept credit cards is a big downside--I had to make a trip through the drive-up ATM at my bank before shopping here, as I don't use debit cards. The staff are all very friendly and appear to be more knowledgeable than at most other grocery stores, but they still do not understand the importance of keeping the aisles clear while they are restocking items. Granted, I was there early (but this IS Arizona in the summer, so 6 a.m. is NOT all that early), and several aisles were completely blocked by re-stocking activities, which means that I did not bother to look at items on those aisles at all. Finally, I'm not a fan of having to bag my own items, but I can live with that--in fact, I do it better myself than most grocery store employees. WinCo is not going to replace Costco for me, but I do like this place and will be back.
