I didn't think that there would be something good to say about this Price Chopper. But, since I was recently pleased with my shopping experience, I thought it deserved some compliments.
I've been shopping here for two years now since it's the only grocery chain I find has the things I need. Even when super Wal-Mart opened and threatened a lot of the long-time businesses around, a lot of customers remained loyal to Price Chopper. I for one, prefer to buy my meats and produce here because Wal-Mart's doesn't seem to have good quality. Price Chopper also offers a good variety of fresh seafood. And they have fresh supply coming in every week. A friend tipped us that you can even request a certain seafood and they will try to get it for you in their next seafood delivery.
Employees are generally helpful and friendly. There are times that the younger staff make funny blunders like when they ring in my vegetables and ask me what it is (stuff like artichokes, asparagus, cilantro, jimaca). It's one thing to get training in identifying different produce and another to know everyday items that are good for you. Anyway, as expected, the more experienced staff are the ones who are alert and knowledgeable about activities inside the store.
I usually shop with my two kids and for the first time, they asked me if I would like some help bringing my grocery to my car. I obliged and a gentleman helped me load everything into my truck. I hope this will be a regular part of their service because it helps so much.
Also, another reason why we like Price Chopper is because of their move to alleviate consumers' worries about the rising price of fuel these days. They created this Fuel AdvantEdge Program wherein for every $50 purchase at the store, you earn 10 cents off every gallon at participating Sunoco gas stations. All you have to do is use your membership card, which costs nothing to sign up for. It's nice to see your grocery helping out their patrons. I look forward to more programs like these. read more
