    Every so often, you have one of those experiences where you're delightfully surprised by someone or…read moresomething that you just can't help telling everyone about it! I was in the mood for sushi after a workout at The Edge and made my way across the parking lot to Big Y who advertise "Fresh Sushi made daily". I found a sushi bar that was absolutely stunning. A huge display of beautifully colored varieties of Sushi with all the fixings! I was looking for something special and called the phone number given for special orders. A very nice woman named TiTi answered and asked if I could give her ten minutes which I agreed to. She came in and made me a special order right on the spot! I didn't realize she was actually coming from home to make it!! How sweet is that? She assured me several times it wasn't a problem and she was pleased to do it. Big Y, thank you for offering sushi and most of all, thank you for the best customer service I have ever experienced at a grocery store. TiTi is a true sushi artist and also a kind hearted person. She will make any special order you like and also does large party trays for groups. Oh yeah, did I mention the sushi was fresh, delicious, and extremely aesthetically pleasing? If you're searching for freshly made sushi in the Meriden area, you need not look any further! Big Y folks, it's at Big Y! Ask for TiTi!

    Since a lot of local pharmacies have recently closed, I went to Walmart to pick up my medications…read moreyesterday after receiving a text notification that the prescription was sent in by my provider. The pharmacy technician was kind, but the interaction I had with the pharmacist ended up being like nothing I've ever experienced. After explaining that I do have insurance but that I often can pay a lower price for my medications using an Rx coupon card, my information was run through the system. The pharmacist asked me to come to the window, explaining that despite using the discount card in place of insurance, my insurance card was still required. I provided the insurance card immediately and the pharmacist kept it in hand for the next few minutes. I was called to the window again by the pharmacist where she explained that one of my prescriptions was sent to Rite Aid as well. I explained to her that yes, my provider initially sent my prescription to Rite Aid, but since the store is closing, they notified me via phone that they would be unable to refill the prescription. Therefore, my doctor sent the prescription to Walmart instead. After I explained the situation, she understood. I have NO clue what caused this, but here comes the ludicrous behavior -- The pharmacist returned to the counter, called me over, handed me my insurance card back, and said "So...I just wanted to let you know I will not be refilling your prescription here today". I asked her if she could explain to me why so I'd be aware of any issue that might be a barrier to refilling my prescription at a different pharmacy. The pharmacist grew agitated and said "I'm not refilling your script because you're not being truthful! You're not telling the truth!". I asked her what i hadn't been truthful about. She said "you LIED, you said you didn't have insurance and you DO". I paused, genuinely confused, and said "...but you JUST handed me back my insurance card. I told you and the pharmacy technician that I have insurance, just that my medication is more affordable with the coupon code I've been using (for 3+ YEARS) at my previous pharmacy)". She waved her arms in the air at me and started to walk away. I asked her again, "Just to clarify, you're not going to refill my medication because you said i wasn't truthful about having insurance, but you just handed me back my insurance card that I gave to you to input the information?". The pharmacist said "you LIED you said you didn't have insurance and that's why I'm not refilling your prescription here today or EVER. Find another pharmacy". I'm sitting here still feeling baffled at the experience I had with this pharmacist. I've ran through it a few times in my head and still don't understand where the accusations came from claiming i lied about having insurance. I also have no idea where this woman's hostility came from. My medication was due for refill, I arrived to pick up the medication after it was sent over by my doctor, and was shouted at with false accusations continually (despite me maintaining my patience and not returning the aggression). I understand we all have bad days, but this pharmacist's behavior was completely unacceptable and caused absolute disgust within my doctor's office when i told them what happened, as well as some of her coworkers who had a visual reaction to her behavior. I will NEVER go to this pharmacy again and I hope no one has to deal with this woman in this way ever again either. If a medical provider is prescribing a patient their medication, the patient should NOT face accusations, judgement, or dismissal from the person whose job it is to dispense the medication. I'm so disgusted and I hope no one ever has an encounter like this, but please be cautious with this pharmacy if you're looking to find a new one - would NOT recommend....

    What I like about Walmart is they have a huge selection of merchandise, and whatever I buy is…read morecheaper than other stores I would shop at. Their return policies are great, and I never had a problem with my returns. Being a Supercenter they are also a grocery store where you can always find bargains. I have also done online shopping at Walmart with no issues. It's basically one stop shopping with huge savings.
