After attempting to scan several items in accordance with the instructions being broadcast from the machine, the machine appeared to malfunction and was not registering all of the items and then broadcast an alert to wait for assistance. In fact, several of the machines simultaneously starting announcing the same message. The same young man, after attending to another customer, came over to me and accused me of deliberately not scanning items and then started cursing in English and Spanish. At the time, I cautioned him about his profanity but I still feel I need to bring to the store's attention the inappropriateness of the attendant's behavior. His false accusations were extremely offensive and coupled with the frustration of using machines that are possibly defective gives me pause about continuing to shop at a store where I have been shopping for over 50 years--when as a teenager in the 1970s, the same building was a Pathmark supermarket. Needless to say, if I continue to shop at this store, I will absolutely steer clear of the self-checkout machines. But more importantly, customers and older shoppers should not be abused and insulted by someone with little to no experience and clearly no aptitude for customer service.

I was in the area and decided to stop by and I believe it was few days before Christmas or New Years and I could've slapped myself. LOL. This place is known to always be crowded so you know it was extra crazy right before a holiday. The parking lot drama was just like I remembered it "hectic." The spots are tight and very busy. Now for the good, LOL. They have tons of Caribbean foods and ingredients you cant find in your typical supermarket. When my cousin visits NY she always want to stop here to pick up some items for her Caribbean dishes. They have a huge fruit and vegetable area that is packed since its the first area you visit when you walk in. I always pick up items I don't find in my neighborhood. I grabbed some cut up chicken to curry and these biscuit like snacks called Shirley that come in a few different flavors that I loove. I also re upped on some of the spices. The lines to check out were loooooonnnnngggg and I remembered looking in my cart seeing if I really wanted my groceries. I sucked it up and waited about 30 minutes. Do NOT go during a holiday, periodt! LOL. The staff are not the friendliest but you have to come in here with a mindset that you gotta do what you have to do and try to finish as quick as you can in this fast paced and always crowded supermarket. This place has Trader Joes beat in terms of crowds and frenzied.

I picked up ingredients for chicken soup, beef soup, and pasta -- the kind of food that keeps you warm for days. I spent about $150, which honestly still feels expensive, but considering today's food prices and the fact that this will turn into multiple home-cooked meals (and leftovers), it was worth it. Being prepared during a storm beats scrambling for overpriced takeout any day. Food is definitely expensive right now, but cooking at home is still the smartest way to stretch your money and eat well. They pack bags with out asking, great service, nice and clean and bright. Here are the pictures.

If I went to BJ's I can get a bigger bag. So here's my comparison - Stop & Shop: $11.99 for 22 oz ~$0.545 per ounce - BJ's: $21.99 for 64 oz ~$0.343 per ounce, that's a 36% savings at BJ's. While Stop & Shop is banking on impulse buys and smaller package margins my delayed gratification and bulk economics of BJ's win out, which makes me a winner. I refuse to purchase from Stop and Shop that day but they may have a better bargain another day. I'm so grateful that I took a course in economics it helps with smart decisions making and impulse purchases.

Stop & Shop - 460 Franklin Ave, Franklin Square, NY…read more This place is more than a grocery store--it's home. I've been coming here since I was 12 years old, and the vibe hasn't changed: friendly staff, familiar faces, and carts that might just be as seasoned as the team pushing them The produce section is fresh and well-stocked, and for my fellow plant-based shoppers, there's a solid selection of vegan options--from plant-based meats to dairy-free treats. They've even upgraded with two EV charging stations, perfect for my tree-hugging electric vehicle friends. Whether you're grabbing tissues, apples, or just a little human connection, Stop & Shop on Franklin Ave delivers. It's the kind of place where you don't just shop--you belong. Boomsauce Scale: B - basura (trash) BS - basic (come on! Try harder) BS + - better (Yo! That's better) BS ++ - best (alright! Alright! Alrightttt!) BS +++ - Amazing location! now that's boomsauce!
