| - They have good variety of brands and items and although they're priced fairly high, it's understandable. They do have a warm food counter, however, from what I noticed, they use a microwave to warm up the food which some don't like. Their warm food is ok but not something I would go out of my way to get. They've improved cleanliness throughout their shelves/isles which was a problem in the past especially when you take a product off of the shelves with a good amount of dust covering it. But again, that's all understandable assuming some products don't sell as frequently.
I've questioned the warm food hygiene since it is located near the cash register and employees are often switching back and forth between handling cash and serving food. They've always used gloves or spatulas but those that have the knowledge are aware of reaching over uncovered food containers to rich a product placed closer to the front of the display and the fact that bacterial and etc, can easily come from an employee's skin/clothes/etc, while reaching over.
The above are all justifiable based on their location/resources and other factors that limit their operations. What I don't understand is $10 minimum requirement to use Credit/Debit cards. I'm a frequent customer at this business and I look past all the faults that I stated above. However when I rush over during a few free minutes only to be turned down because of a purchase of less than $10 when I only have my debit card to pay with? That doesn't speak highly of the management/owners or the employees because what I spend at this business is well over the transaction charge. This is a small convenient store slightly larger than an average sized 7-Eleven and they sell many items that are less than the $10 requirement. Greedy? Maybe but regardless of the title any one of us chooses for their practices, the lack of competition in this area shouldn't give the owners a reason or excuse to have ignorant policies. $10 minimum? I would even let a $5 minimum slide but $10 is pushing it.
Bottom line, take cash with you or don't walk in unless you're willing to spend more than $10 which I almost always do, except this one day. They may lack local competition but the internet is very close and I can most definitely purchase the same products for cheaper or the same, including the shipping charge. Not good business practices for a local business that depends on local clients.
If you don't care about that, then more power to you and enjoy your shopping experience.
