I'm not normally a fan of reviewing chains, but I feel compelled to say that if you're looking for brilliance in a grocery store...don't go to this Save-A-Lot. But if you need things cheap, this is your place.
It's not really the cleanliness of floors that's a problem. Accessibility isn't a problem. And I don't mind the idea of paying to use a plastic bag (I called it a "stupid tax" when I got back to the home of my friends when I forgot mine one day).
No, it's just so...meh. I don't expect every grocery to be like Remke's here in Florence when I'm out of town. That's a near impossible standard to live up to, and you'd have to do everything right all the time. And this Save-A-Lot is not perfect. Not horrible, but not close to perfection, either.
What would I change about it? Well, it's not exactly organized chaos. It's more like...general, disorganized chaos. Part of this may have been just me adjusting to a new store, but part of it is that things I expected to see in one place, weren't there but were in a totally different place. Really? I'm pretty sure I saw shampoo next to food. That doesn't belong! AUGH!
Overall, 2/5. I can't go higher, but it's not a 1 either. Meh sums it up. read more
