The are constantly treating customers as if they are all stealing, and they always put rude signs in the windows. Not to mention that their location suggests convenience, but they are charging the highest prices in town and I feel like it is taking advantage of those who are on EBT by charging such high prices. A lot of people here don't have cars or transportation and are stuck hemorrhaging their EBT funds on high prices because they have no other choice. Their meat department is a joke and people are constantly dealing with spoiled meat. If you can get to Hannaford or Market 32 in Saint Albans, go to those places. Friendlier staff, better prices and non spoiled meat. I have included a recent photo of a rude sign that reads "if you plan on shoplifting let us know." This just feels like discriminatory practices against people who are on EBT and SNAP or homeless. This store seems to hate homeless and poor people.

The expiration date was still two days away. When I called the store at 6:30 p.m., I was told "The meat manager is gone for the day and won't be back until tomorrow." Hey, Food City, here's a thought: How about having an evening manager on staff who can take the complaint, investigate, and possibly save your customers from food poisoning? Next call will be to the health department.

I told the cashier, "Their co-op beat Home Depot, Lowe's, Tractor Supply, and any one of our CT grocers, all combined, HANDS DOWN! What did we buy? A sensory calming neoprene licking pad for a foo-foo dog, a $19 shirt for yours truly, and two tomato climbing towers. Yup tourists.

On the opposite side of the store, you'll find an impressive selection of local and Vermont-made products, creative work from regional designers, and exclusive items you simply won't see at Walmart. During a recent visit, I noticed two small carts positioned near the front door, highlighting the store's thoughtful attention to customer convenience. The owner and cashiers are warm and welcoming to everyone, whether you're from the area or visiting from out of town. Unfortunately, some reviews misinterpret what Rail City offers. It is not a Walmart--rather, it is a one-of-a-kind Vermont store that proudly supports local products and extends genuine friendliness to all who enter. I highly recommend visiting Rail City for a truly unique and delightful shopping experience

The Vanilla bottle is $21 but if you go to Walmart or Target you will see the same bottle priced at $14. If you are someone looking to save money instead of waste it you would not be shopping here. They used to have a small cart by the front but the manager started to hide the cart in the back since coming in with my son who is brown. I assume they think he will steal just based on the way he looks.

The rest of the store ought to be embarrassed by the pharmacy.

Where are the Adults at the Price Chopper Supermarket in St Albans? The only people I see working…read morein the front of the store are children and not very bright children at that. At each and every supermarket if the cashier makes a mistake and over charges you not only get to keep your purchase but you get a complete refund. So is Price Chopper different from the rest of grocery stores? I think not. They just have no adult management. I bought a single bottle of beer. The cashier charged me based on a $10.99/6 pack. But the 6 pack was only $9.99 so instead of refunding me the $1.84+tax they wanted to just refund me 18 cents. Having worked in a supermarket as a cashier and as a manager in several supermarket corporate offices and I have shopped in supermarkets in many states this is not the way things are done. Not at all. But the worst was Alex who can't add/subtract or read. OMG! And one last thing did you realize at Price Chopper they charge you for getting cash back on your debit card? Except for the fact the cashier forgets to tell you beforehand. So ca anyone tell me of another market in St Albans even 15-20 miles away so I don't have to deal with children who can't read or do basic math? Please advise. Thanks! UPDATE... I found Hannaford Supermarket a little further down the street. They sell the same 6 pack for $8.99.

They have frequent specials on all items. I've seen wine reduced by around $4-5 on occasion, beer prices aren't too bad either. This place is open quite often. Rarely do I find I need to go here and they aren't open for business. These guys work long days! Staff is friendly, cooperative and helpful. It can get crazy busy at the deli counter around weekday lunch hour as many of the employees of businesses nearby come to get sandwiches. But they seem to move the crowd along and you can get in and get out in a short while. It is a bit of a cramped space but they operate 2-4 separate checkouts to keep lines from forming and blocking browsing. Plenty of parking and they have a huge drive up redemption center nearby. Before you load up on beverages at the grocer, I recommend a stop here to get them. You won't be disappointed.

I, like almost everyone (or at least those it's come up with) "F$&KN LOVE a dollar store! The selection and price point make upgrades, redecorating ideas, food and essentials within reach and worth a try regardless of any annual house hold income. The more I searched for information and understanding, the more I read about the hype, ethics, etc.. the more I liked it... as far as national corporate chain stores go. As far as this location goes: it appears that on a national level, they is movement in integrating and combining Family Dollar and Dollar Tree (it's sister company that until recently only few similarities and generic and sometimes conflicting corporate structuring) Yet now, it appears that Dollar Trees are being brought into Family Dollars and that corporate model is taking over its host... sometimes gradually and sometimes as a new location. Before being hired and starting to make observations, as a customer, I would always start out towards Family Dollar first, it always was my first stop on my brick and mortar rounds. I would easily dismissed as a fraud and a liar it I did not acknowledge the obviously floundering and seemingly immeasurable progress up or down. So when you are in the store, please try and remember that everyone working there really believes they are doing everything they possibly can to help the customers, help each other and help the company they work for. And for the most part, many of them could not do anything more or better. The news has covered the recent criminal events: remember that is in addition to the many unforeseen problems and unintended consequences which rocked the store to its foundation... so if they are in the store smiling, working as well as willing and available help... mentally... give that person a little credit and all the respect you would like to be shown. Their head is probably still spinning from the last 10 issues they were told... on top of 15 or so challenges they walked in with. We all have them, every day. If it comes to pass that you had a bad experience, know that it was definitely NOT you. And just as likely, that representative was just as powerless to circumnavigate a better outcome. WHEN YOU DO HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE-please, at the very very least THANK THEM... maybe post something here where you can be as case specific or anonymous as you like. If I'm there as a customer or still an employee and you figure out who I am, I would love it if you wanted to introduce yourself... Say hey!
