I try not to frequent this particular grocery store, even though I grew up right around the corner from it and still live within a few blocks' walk. Maybe it was my youthful ignorance, but I miss Tops. And even Finast. Those were the days. Anyways...
I still stop in now and again to pick up one or two things on my way home from work, or if I need something very specific that I know one of the smaller chains around here isn't likely to have. And every time, I regret it.
I always leave at least mildly annoyed for one reason or another, but my biggest issue is this: WHY DOES THE PARKING LOT/ENTRY AREA ALWAYS SMELL LIKE RAW SEWAGE?!? Like, always. I dare you to go there and find a time when it doesn't smell like 7 people just took a dump in front of the door. Dead of winter, gale force winds - doesn't matter - the stench prevails. And I'm supposed to feel good about buying my food there? Food that I eat? Nah.
