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.

Instead of resolving the issue, the management team specifically Maria, Claudia, and Donna refused to hand over the groceries or assist with returning my funds. Beyond the monetary issue, the way I was spoken to and treated by this management team was vile, hostile, and filled with microaggressions. I felt completely targeted and discriminated against as a customer. I have never experienced such disgusting customer service. Save your money and do not shop at this location.

The prices and sales just aren't as competitive as they used to be, and at times it feels like they assume customers don't have many other options. For a supermarket of this size, I think they could offer better deals, improve the overall appearance of the store, and provide more consistent customer service. I have noticed they've added more self checkout lanes, which is convenient for shoppers who only need a few items. Having shopped here since the Pathmark days, I can honestly say that the transition to Stop & Shop didn't bring the major improvements I had hoped for. One of the biggest disappointments has been the prepared food. Their fried chicken used to be one of my favorites, but the quality just isn't what it once was. The store itself is decent, but still feels dark and drab. I'll still stop in when I need to pick up a few things, but I believe this store has the potential to be so much better. With better pricing, fresher prepared foods, and an overall upgrade to the shopping experience, Stop & Shop could become the Publix of New York.

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.

The checkout lines were ridiculously long, with customers standing around waiting while only registers 7 and 9 were open. Meanwhile, another register -- I believe it was #5 -- was CLOSED even though there were still plenty of customers waiting to check out. Why not keep that register open long enough to CLEAR THE CROWD?! Instead, customers were pushed into two already packed lines and left standing there waiting. And what made the experience even worse? Sebastian, the manager. When the issue was brought to his attention, I found his attitude extremely rude and dismissive. A manager should be looking for ways to get customers through checkout efficiently -- not closing a line while customers are backed up and then giving attitude when someone questions it. Customers shouldn't have to spend forever in a checkout line because management refuses to use an available register to help clear the crowd. Aldi, you can have great prices all day long, but cheap groceries don't make up for poor customer service and unnecessary waits. Long lines. Rude management. Unnecessary waiting. Register closed while customers were still backed up. MIXED BAG THIS VERDICT: BRUTAL REVIEW. Would I recommend this checkout experience? ABSOLUTELY NOT. #MixedBagThis #BrutalReview
