Bait and switch, $2.99 deal turns out $8.89 ripoff and bad night manager!
David H.

Stopped in on a Friday night 7 pm for some fish and chips and other foods for the family. Some online deal for $2.99 meal, but you needed to download the Big Y app. Wife went to front desk while we shopped. She met us near seafood counter and said to order. I asked for fish and chips, per menu only one option at $8.99. Counter person said "pollock or haddock?". I ordered haddock. Picked up order and went to check out to pay. Had $80 worth of food. Leaving we find that the service desk clerk who helped my wife load the app did it wrong and no app. We were charged $8.99. She went back and store manager sneered and was jerk. In the end we find out seafood counter clerk upcharged us for haddock order which was not on special. Mistake or bait and switch, plus night manager rude idiot means never again at Bug Y for us. Usually an empty lot compared to Shaws down the street, now clear that that is for a reason.

Typical Market Basket grocery store. I stopped here to get some healthy snacks and their selection…read morewas good and well priced. I sometimes like to be efficient and that is why I like the self checkout lanes at grocery stores...here, they don't have them. The company wants to have cash registers manned and open to encourage customer interaction. Good thing to focus on human interactions.

Market Basket is a full 20-25% less expensive than its competitors in the area for basically the…read moresame food. Yes, it's not as luxurious to shop in, it's usually mobbed, the aisles are tight and the parking lot sucks. Produce is not as great in some items, and they don't carry as many super-speciality foods as Whole Foods or Stop & Shop. However, the people who work there are amazing. They are abundant (try almost every checkout line open during rush) and helpful, and friendly, and the store is well stocked and well managed. No self checkout crap. You don't need it, there's always a line open. We'd kill for an upgraded facility like the nicer newer Market Baskets that do exist, but our Bellingham store crew, from the managers to the baggers are amazing, and make shopping here worth the visit. Their meat department is wonderful, the seafood is great and if you can get near the deli, they work hard and are great too. Finally, a shout out to the bakery and prepared food folks - they are awesome. The food is great and they couldn't be more helpful. We love MB, just wish it was as a new one. Oh, and don't go near the place the day before a major snowstorm, or any Sunday at noon. Plan your visit if possible. 5 stars for the staff and people and management, 3 for the facility. It really needs an upgrade.

They must have had a lot of turn over here as there are many new and pleasant people working here -…read morefinally!!! Very clean - employees actively cleaning floors, stocking. Produce all very fresh. The premade packaged foods for on -the-go were freshly made. Nothing expired or past date that I saw on this trip. I was able to get some fresh fruit chopped up for half price to bring to a get together today. The woman who cashed me out was very nice, just starting her shift at the register, and was conversative which was nice. Once I finished loading groceries into my car a nice employee -older man -asked if he could take my cart for me. I was just about to bring it back inside myself but this was nice and we told each other to have a nice day. Just some simple kindness goes a long way. I am happy to see the change in attitude here with these new employees. Definitely for the better!

I love the store. A lot of things are very reasonably priced and fresh are always putting new…read morethings out every time you're in the store. They have a nice fresh meat and seafood department as well as a great cheese selection. I love the variety of baked goods as well and everything is made in house as far as I know. I have recently started picking up The too good to go bags there and I've been very impressed with a variety selection of items that they have and they're too good to go bags. It's really nice to travel. Try new things I always might not be able to afford. Because in some price things they are a little pricey than others but that's OK because you get what you pay for. The service is always on top people explain what you want And if they don't have something they would like if you can wait we can make it for you and that's perfect because I wanted to try a pizza one time they didn't have it. They said they can give us 15 minutes. We can throw one in the oven and they did and that to me was just above and beyond what I expect for most businesses, especially a large chain store like Whole Foods. Please keep up the good work everyone

BJ's Wholesale Club - Paper towels

Bj's is the place to go for paper goods. Every time I do a price comparison of paper goods by unit…read moreprice, BJ's is either the lowest or very close to the lowest. I like the quality of their paper towels, napkins, etc. They are thick and absorbent. Most of the packaging also have the thickness labelled on it, which is a great way to compare brands...usually they are labelled in microns or mils. The higher the number, the thicker the product. Easy self checkout process.

While there are savings to be had, we often experience disappointment BJ's in Franklin, MA. Sadly,…read morethese same issues usually apply to the store in Johnston, RI. Pros: 1. Friendly staff 2. Decent selection 3. Good deals on sale items Cons: 1. Frequently out of broiled chickens. A reason we go is to get something quick for dinner. Too often, they are 30+ minutes from being ready, and even when the timer goes off, it takes them 10-15 minutes to package them for sale. We leave knowing we need to fix something else tor dinner. - People surround the area in in an unorganized queue spending 10 minutes jockeying for position. Rude people usually make it to the front. - The people processing chickens also man the deli counter, so they are often too busy to work with the broiled chickens. GET THEM HELP!! 2. Gas may not be as cheap as you think. Their advertised prices (maybe at all BJ's??) include the 5 per cent discount by using the BJ's credit card. I get a better deal elsewhere using my Costco Visa card, getting 4% back on gas (5% at Costco.) At $4.50 a gallon, that's 18 cents a gallon I save with the Costco card, making local stations near I-495 MUCH more affordable. The same $4.50 price at Speedway or Gulf is $4.32 with my Costco card. Also, all my other Visa and Discover cards often have 5% quarterly rewards for "gas stations" which usually includes items bought at their attached convenience stores, such as Cumberland Farms, Speedway, Seasons/Nouria, Sheetz, and the awesome Wawa in NJ/PA. 3. Produce, especially bananas & berries, is not as fresh and spoils quicker than produce from major supermarkets. It seems to take a while for buyers from other companies to pass on the merchandise before it winds up at stores like BJ's and Costco. 4. Better deals can be found at supermarkets if you shop for what's on sale, without having to buy in bulk.
