I love Wegmans and this location is no different…read more With it being in the city, it's evident that both the parking lot and store are smaller than suburban locations but they do their best to maximize the space. The parking spots are narrower than suburban locations, but there is a lot of parking. The store felt slightly more cramped than my go-to location, even shopping with a small cart was tight to navigate through the produce section and the aisles were busy with shoppers and staff restocking. It's also a busy location, even on a Friday afternoon. But the store was clean and well organized, and they had a lot of registers open and staffed by courteous cashiers. The quality and selection of their food is fantastic, better than most grocery stores in the area.

This is the Wegmans closest to my mom's house, so whenever I'm back in Buffalo, this is my Wegmans…read moreeven though I used to work at the Alberta Drive location. Naturally, I still find myself frequenting this Wegmans whenever I'm back in Buffalo. The Amherst Street Wegmans has a massive parking lot, though you would never know it during the peak hours. Between how popular this store already is and the addition of the Wegmans Wine & Spirits shop in the same plaza, it's usually pretty packed. You might not snag a spot close to the entrance but you'll find a spot. Might I suggest that patience is basically required, as with all things Wegmans. Once inside, I'm almost always overwhelmed (in the best way) by how much there is. Prepared foods, deli counter, meat and seafood, bakery, flowers, produce, frozen foods. You name it, Wegmans has it and they probably have a Wegmans branded version, too. I love browsing the craft beer section and, more recently, the growing selection of non-alcoholic options (Thank you, Wegmans!). Honestly, I can't complain. Yes, Wegmans can feel overwhelming, but now that I don't actually work there anymore, I've grown to appreciate the variety, freshness, quality, and pricing. The things I would do for Wegmans to come to the West Coast... until then, I'll keep savoring every visit to Weggies while I'm back home.

If you are in Fort Erie and need to go grocery shopping, Bulk Barn should be your first stop…read more I do have to confess a fondness for bulk stores, and think they often get a bad rap. Part of the problem is the name "bulk" because many folks have little interest in buying thinks like spices in bulk. Which, of course, makes a ton of sense. However at stores like Bulk Barn you can buy things like spices by the teaspoon (or less)! So, let's say you are visiting town and renting a house without a stocked pantry, and you want to make a tasty pot of Cuban style black beans. You don't need to buy a whole jar of oregano and bay leaves. You can come here and buy just what you need! In my case that was a tablespoon of oregano, three bay leaves, and three pounds of dried black beans. Amazing! Plus, there is a fantastic selection of dried fruits and nuts, some very interesting sweet treats from around the world, and a wide variety of grains. Which isn't to say Bulk Barn has it all. There were some things I expected a store like this to cary, but came up empty handed. On a personal note, I was a little uncomfortable with the local Christian radio station being piped through the store on my first visit, and had thought mistakenly that this chain might be run by zealots. But then on my second trip they were playing classic rock to my great relief. Still, I would shop there even with the subliminal indoctrination because the place is great and I appreciate the selection the store offers. If I lived in town, I would be a regular for sure.

Where to begin... I…read morestrive to be fair and constructive, but the issues at this location are numerous and difficult to overlook. Firstly, if theft prevention is a significant problem, consider bringing cashiers back and closing the self-checkout lanes. The current setup, in which self-checkout scales have been "recalibrated," creates an immense inconvenience for honest customers. The system does not allow placing reusable bags on the scale, locking the transaction until intervention occurs. Customers are forced to place items directly on the scale, then bag them, but moving anything for bagging freezes the system, requiring an employee to step in. In one instance, the system locked when I tried to bag my items, and I was scolded by an employee who barked, "Don't move anything!" or, "Take the bag off the scale!" This hostile approach makes the experience even more unpleasant. On my most recent visit, there was a staffed cashier lane open. I opted to use it, but after realizing I had forgotten my reusable bags, I purchased paper bags. The cashier pushed the bags across the conveyor belt and made no effort to help bag my groceries. When I asked if she would assist, she curtly responded, "It's not my job--if you want your groceries bagged, you have to do it yourself." Trying to understand the process, I asked a staff member about the recalibrated scales. They explained that "head office" had mandated these changes, insisting it wasn't the fault of the local team. When I asked for the phone number to contact head office, I was given a series of frustrating responses: One employee claimed the owner only communicates via email and doesn't have a phone number. Another time, I was told the manager was "still looking for the number," and finally, on a separate occasion, I was advised, "If you want the number, you'll have to Google it." It's unreasonable for customers to bring their own bags, self-scan items, navigate a confusing and error-prone system, bag their own groceries, and still pay premium prices--all while dealing with rude or dismissive service. Despite the convenience of this location to our home, I am now willing to drive an extra 20 minutes to shop elsewhere. I am not typically someone who writes reviews; I generally choose to silently take my business elsewhere. However, this experience has compelled me to speak up. If you demand high prices, you must deliver high-quality service. Do better.

Strong focus on local and/or organic, and great signage to bring attention to the local products and brands. The produce section is consistently high quality and fresh. You can bring your own containers to fill in the bulk section, and they have a scale right there to weigh your container before filling it - super easy and saves on packaging. I have not tried any of the prepared foods but I'm very happy with the groceries. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The only real downside is that the parking lot at this location is very tiny and a challenge to get in and out of.

New floors, new layout, many new products, a larger Goya section, a brand new Flash Food section, new carts. I didn't use the restroom, but was told it is a gem. I will get back to this Tops in a day or two-- it's my local Tops-- and I will take photos. Sunday I was too stunned to think of it.
