I am happy to have this Acme so close to my house. It's a convenient location in the Festival…read moreShopping Center across from the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing.
The store is always clean and easy to shop, in my opinion. They are reasonably priced, if slightly more expensive than ShopRite. They have a decent selection of gluten free products, as well as a great selection of Hispanic, Asian, and other ethnic foods.
Pretty good hot-and-cold buffet back by the deli counter. The hot buffet has chicken tenders, mac & cheese, eggrolls, etc. The cold buffet includes mozzarella balls, cold chicken wings, and an assortment of pasta salads.
The in-house bakery has a nice selection of cakes, cookies, muffins, etc throughout the day. The ladies working the bakery are very friendly and helpful and will write on your cake for free. There's usually free samples of something-or-other back here as well.
Only 2 complaints I have: there are NEVER enough lanes open. This Acme is perpetually busy, I don't care what time of day it is, and there are never enough lanes. They do have 4 express self-checkouts, but I especially don't feel like using those if I have something that needs to be weighed. I also don't like that the machines yell at me to bag my items, then yell at me to pay them, then yell at me to take my change, then yell at me to take my items. Alright already!!
Also, some of the supervisors are really unprofessional. Came here last week and used the self-checkout (I guess this is what I get,) and there was some kind of issue with it. The front end supervisor came over and was helpful, but was swearing the entire time. "What the f***?" "F***ing really?" "I'm sick of this s***." I realize she wasn't swearing at me, but still, not necessary at all.
Oh and also tipped in their favor, I never have my SuperCard with me, and a lot of times they'll just scan a random number so I can get the discount.
There's also a Redbox at this location with a nice DVD selection!!
