    A lot of reviews mention horror stories in the check out lines. I gave up on those some time ago…read moreand use the self-checkout lanes. I don't mind scanning and bagging my purchases. There is rarely any kind of wait to get to the self-checkouts and when there is a wait, it is very short. My other opinions about Jewel match many of the other reviews: (1) their prices are higher relative to other grocery stores, (2) they do have a good produce selection, meat and fish counters. (3) They also have a wide variety of staples. (4) There is usually a mismatch in some pricing shown in the aisles and when you check out. (5) It is very hard to find anyone working at the store who can help you if you need something. So, for selection and fresh product freshness, they score well. For pricing and service, they don't match other grocers.

    I am extremely disappointed with my repeated experiences at the Jewel-Osco on the corner of Roselle…read moreRoad and Golf Road in HE. The weekly specials are constantly marked on the shelves, but when you get to checkout, the discounts "never seem to apply." It's frustrating and feels misleading. When I've asked staff about the pricing discrepancies, I've been met with dismissive and rude responses instead of helpful customer service. Rather than correcting the issue at the register, I'm told to go stand in line at customer service for a refund. Unfortunately, the representatives there have also been unfriendly and unprofessional, like they are doing you a favor. On top of the poor service, the prices in this store are outrageously high compared to other grocery stores in the area. Between the inaccurate sale pricing, the attitude from employees, and the overall experience, this location has been by far one of the worst grocery stores I've dealt with. THE WORST! Very disappointing. This was strike 3. I will not spend one more dollar at this store.

    Amazon Fresh gets mixed reviews. I like shopping there. They are not the least expensive grocery…read morestore, yet they are less than the local big box grocers. They are inconsistent in their stock - often gaps appear where something is out of stock. They also don't make it easy to find items where there are special needs, such as finding gluten-free items. Where they do have them, they are not localized in one area like you would find in other stores. We went in for a specific gluten-free item and just couldn't find it. We asked someone who works there and they said they didn't know where it was - that it could be anywhere. Regardless, I am usually able to find most of what we need. The discounts they apply to Amazon Prime members really helps, too.

    We were in the area and made a first visit to this particular Amazon Fresh. Our go-to Amazon Fresh…read moreis the nearby Morton Grove store for reference. We noticed 4 notable differences from the Morton Grove store which has served our needs pretty well given the Prime membership discounts that we realize. The most important one, and one the wife noticed, is that the prices here are more competitive than in Morton Grove. We surmised that was just due to the presumably stiffer grocery competition in Schaumburg. A second difference is the produce department has more offerings. A third difference is they have a Krispy Kreme stand here for what that's worth. Finally, a fourth difference is the temperature in here is actually reasonable and comfortable as opposed to the usually frigid conditions in Morton Grove lol. Overall, a pretty nice Amazon Fresh, and thumbs up.
