*** This review is ONLY for their fried chicken in the deli ***…read more Being a health nut, I've eaten a LOT of fried chicken. (Just kidding... I'm not really a health nut) I've had chicken from every store's deli in Bellingham... repeatedly. I consider myself a bit of an expert on fried chicken. Consequently after many hours and bones of analysis I declare Winco's fried chicken the Best Of The City. When it's fresh from the fryer, it is unbeatable. The breading is fresh, light, tasty and cooked perfectly. The chicken has a crispy outside and moist inside. Perfect! As an added bonus, they put it out early, often by 9:00 am. Now I ask, who doesn't like fried chicken for breakfast? Wonderful. Try it. You can thank me and lick your fingers later.

Lately, I have not wanted to bother with Winco. Here's why. It's midnight, and I just counted 19…read moreemployees doing stocking, one person on a register, including one fat cat sitting himself down in the back room where the stocking and truck emptying takes place.The one open register has a line that is all the way to the back of the store - again. it used to be that if it came here after 11 PM, I could get checked out efficiently. No longer. By the time I get my cold food home it will not be anything but a pile of bacteria. Here's a newsflash, Winco: you can't stay in business until you begin taking money efficiently from customers. I think you're gonna need to pay those 19 employees you have stocking and emptying the trucks...But you're gonna have to SELL that stuff that was on the trucks, and you're not gonna be selling it to anymore. I can't risk my life getting my food home after it has thawed and has poison. Your low prices don't mean anything if I can't check out in a timely fashion. You're bringing it in, and you're putting it on the shelves, but you aren't taking money efficiently. That's just plain stupid. THIS IS N O T how to run a business.

This store understands Lynden and people who shop looking for fair pricing and bargains.

Well it was going ok till I got to check out, but I'll start at the beginning- they do not have…read moreenough carts for starters, they have 3 or 4 total and then a few flat bed trolly carts which isn't easy for those with limited mobility, but while that was annoying it wasn't a deal breaker- some of the stuff is a good deal especially if you don't have a Costco membership but it's still pretty comparable to Safeway/winco if you are good with clipping coupons- obviously this place is more for bulk and such but has a lot for the ordinary house hold- found my coffee syrups and a few other things and headed to the register- we did start at the little red triangle that says line starts here but as lines go just kept following the person in front of me- now the cashier stepped away dealing with the customers in front of me (who i was following from the red triangle sign) she comes back looks at me and says the line starts at the red triangle, trying to signal me to move to the back of the line- that wasn't gonna happen, I said yeah I know I just moved forward- got a blank stare and she continued with the customer in front of me- when I got to the reg like 1.5mins later it was very lack luster in service, I did decline a small box but would have though she could have helped loaded my few items into the cart to help move the process and as I walk with a mobility aid which takes one of hands, help out a person who has limited mobility but I'm assuming since she thought I cut the line even tho I didn't she wanted to have a tude about it which sucks cus we were talking about coming back and stocking up on a few things that peaked our interest but I'll go to winco and Costco if this is how your gonna treat your customers-
