I used to frequent Fresh & Easy until I found out about Winco. So today I went for the first time in over a year because I was running errands right by it. I was unpleasantly surprised. I'm not sure if this location is in transition, but the selection of products decreased tremendously. The store was just so empty. The large selection of pre-made meals that just needed to be heated was moved to a much smaller section. The area where it used to be was now full of individual servings of bottled juices and sodas. The cereal selections, the F&B granola selections, and the trail mix/mixed nut type selections were reduced. Also, the prices had increased.
On top of that disappointment, there were at least three employees who seemed like they were thugs just hanging out in a park or something and not actually at work. They had a couple of employees who were actually working by stocking things and moving things around, but who failed to even acknowledge my existence even though I was slowly walking right by them apparently looking for products. There was one young lady employee who greeted me and asked if I needed help finding anything, which I didn't. She even told me good bye and to have a nice day as I was leaving. I hope F&E appreciates her as an employee she was golden, especially compared to the other employees. I only wish I had gotten her name.
One good thing about the newly unimproved store is that the quality of their plastic bags is much better.
