| - Went to this grocery store in my neighborhood. It's the only Smith's around my side of Summerlin. The Good & the Bad & Ugly: get greeted by the same elderly folk and walk behind them going in while they sample the new yogurt place strategically placed to welcome customers but create chronic congestion for any mom going in to pick up dinner that they gotta cook for their kids in the next 30 minutes. Add to that u gotta follow the old folks in respect coz ur right next to Sun City Summerlin AND I have the UTMOST respect for my elders. I realize then this Smith's caters to it's primary customer base & every other soul on this planet has to wait behind them. That said, I appreciate it, but while you're nestled in Summerlin, realize that there are alot of homes with parents with kids under the age of, i don't know, SAY 69!!!,That they are trying their level best to get carts & do their evening shopping. Meanwhile the senior citizen fan base u cater to is clogging up the entry getting yogurt and pre-empting the rest of us who just want to utilize Smiths for being a "food and drug" for which their named & just pay and get the heck out. Solution: Keep the yogurt stand coz it's a great meeting place for our treasured seniors, but PLEASE move it out of the FRONT DOOR!
I would have been almost done here, except for the layout of the store. I spend more time looking befuddled for an aisle than i actually do shopping. Whoa there's a thought, if it weren't such a senior citizen's supermarket, I almost would have thought it would be a great place for singles to gather. think about it, guys, imagIne have a disproportionate number of females standing idle, like a deer in headlights, looking lost, waiting for their white prince to come in & either talk with them or direct them to the soy foods aisle. Hmm, something to think about, now back to my reality. All you have to do is look one time down the wrong aisle and see that the nacho dorito chips are right next to the organic and vegetarian aisle which is right by the frozen pizza. What a quagmire for the poor vegetarian wannabe. He/she is doomed.
Last stop, the pharmacy. Now I was already used to Von's outrageous grocery & costs for prescriptions. It always came down to, "ok, Lori, do you want to eat (FOOD)? or do you want to live (RX)? based on their prices. What i've learned from this Smiths and i'm sure they are all different is that when they see someone coming who's absent a walker, cane or 0xygen tank, i always hear your "Rx isn't ready, but come back tomorrow." & it will be (secretly saying, please don't say "Maam or i'll FIND AN OXYGEN TANK SINCE YOU'VE DECLARED ME AN OLDIE" LOL. It was all said with the utmost respect the end result is the same. Be your own judge. I'd love to hear your better experiences, Yelpers!
P.S. As for the prices at Smiths, they beat Von's hands down on everything from meat to petfood and consummable paper products. I think Von's consistently offers better, more ripe produce but a gallon of milk at Smiths is only $1.89! Wow sure beats the 4 bucks we were paying not long ago.
