Public in Chapin is one of largest area businesses in town. Everyone comes here as the place is…read morealways packed. I use Publix as my pharmacy but other than this I rarely shop here, because the prices are too damn high. The produce section is larger than Food Lion but they just have more produce no additional stock that local don't also have. The hot bar is always hopping with a line, and there is a decent selection of pre-made meals although it could be larger and more variety IMO. I do love anything from the bakery particularly those birthday cakes, Yum. The main reason I come inside is the West Indies section on International Aisle. It is small so don't get your hopes up but have a few essentials like the wafer crackers, cheese in the tin, mackerel, Grace hot sauce. No Tropical Rhythm, spice bun, or Lasco. Now this cheese in tin is $9.89 for the small and I thought it was expensive but I hear it is $13.00 at El Mariachi. There are self checkout lines here I think.

As a vendor, I was there 4-5 days a week and have always seen the employees cleaning or stocking…read moreproducts. Very few of them actually greeted you, while the others looked very stressed.. the reason I'm giving them 3 stars is because some employees and especially the managers (Mike & the heavyset gentleman) lack very simple customer service skills, if you are working with the public the least you can do when someone is going into YOUR store is greet them. Instead, they will look at you and walk right past you. Sometimes they are the happiest people in the world and will even go in detail about their life and other days it's like you're invisible. I don't care to be friends or have in depth conversations BUT use common courtesy, we all have bad days.. we are all stressed about something.. but again you choose to work with people, learn how to greet or give a smile, even if it's fake. It's a problem, especially when their employees apologize on their behalf.

Lowes in Chapin, this business is an upgrade from what was here before the old Bi Lo…read more It is basically setup like every other grocery with one unique exception the indoor bar serving on-tap beer. I do think this is a good idea in two parts first being the additional income from ppl just for the bar. The second funnier part is ppl that drink before (or during) shopping tend to be less concerned about prices. The prices here are not low, it is similar to their rival business also in Chapin. There is a hot bar with decent variety, and fresh fish cuts. There is a niche for Lowes for a certain clientele to get in and out w drinks fast as not very crowded.

I will be racing back for Mother's Day to try one of their sensational fruit cakes!

So excited to have an Aldi in the area!!! I visited this store on the way home when I happened to…read moresee it was open. As usual for the company, the store was super clean and aisles were very wide making it easy to navigate. It's not very large but you can find great deals on grocery items. They have everything from fresh food to frozen food. There are even special finds sometimes that rotate in. The checkout process was simple. You have a choice of self checkout or checking out with an employee. If you're new to the brand, just keep in mind that it's stripped away a lot of things others grocers use in order to keep cost down. There are less employees, a lot of items are not name brand, shopping carts, you provide your bags, you rent shopping carts.

Food Lion in Chapin is our main grocery for local trips. We choose this one between two rival…read morestores here because best prices. There isn't much difference in Food Lion's across the state of SC. They all have same store layout except the freezer section may be on right vs left where it most commonly is. This one in Chapin has one thing I've noticed others around don't, pre-sliced watermelon. You could buy a whole watermelon but you may not get a sweet one whereas pre slice selection is always sweet pieces. In the produce section there are items that are sometimes in stock but then won't see for a long time, like the honey mango. The mango or plantains are usually in stock but it's hit or miss if they will be ripe. There is no self-checkout aisle here that I can remember. You can save quite bit of money with the MVP deals if shop specifically around what is discounted weekly. The employees I have encountered are usually always somewhat jovial.

Easily the best prices in Chapin. So many people go to Publix because it's seen as POSH and they…read morecharge you out the nose!

Today I went to food lion and I purposely got the store brands to make my total cheaper because I…read morehave been low on money. Once I got up to the cash register my total was $3.15... I had a 5 dollar bill and gave it to the cashier, and told her I would give her 15 cents. I look in my wallet and see I only have pennies and quarters, so I gave her a quarter and said to keep the change, meaning the loose change, like the coins. she then proceeds to give me back a recipe with none of my leftover dollars. I felt very uncomfortable explaining myself, so I said nothing and just accepted the recipe. this is common sense, if I wanted her to keep all of the change, why would I have given her a quarter. I thought this was very unprofessional and I was very angry afterwards. I would have felt better about this if the cashier interacted and thanked me at least, but said nothing at all.
