Wow!! This store provides an extraordinary supermarket experience. What was a perfect start to my trip, a Starbucks coffee! As you can see from photos the store is spacious and bright. Lots of specialty food products are available. Prices were comparable to other stores in the area. Will shop here whenever I visit Saratoga Springs.
Overall pretty good for the most part. Check the date on the Sushi. Got sick on some old stuff, and the kid they have working sometimes in the meats...intentionally rude, dismissive and I would even go so far as to call him a jerk even after being super polite "Do you need something?" After waiting 3 minutes for someone to show. "Yes please. Just two pieces of this chicken - have you had it? Any good?" Nothing. Ask again. Head nod. Walks away.
The self check outs are absolutely ridiculous and the older women with glasses " supervising" them is rude. They're extremely difficult to navigate and the woman acts like it's a complete inconvenience for her to have to help. I must have missed the group training session on how to check myself out. I'll go to Aldi's or Hannaford next time. It's by far cheaper, and they actually have people on registers.
Price point matches most NY grocery prices with higher quality foods.
Great selection for any pallette or food preferences. The olive, cheese, deli, area has a great selection along with my favorite hot pepper selections.
My first stop was the fish department. The girl behind the counter was incredible helpful. When I mention I was going to get some fresh dill for the salmon she actually walked me over to where the dill was. What service. The next was in the produce department. I inquired about fresh carrots and was told a women just bought the last few bunches, but the clerk was just about to run back and get another box of them. Very helpful and kind. My next stop was the meat department......the clerk was rude and "snappy". I'm not going into what he said, just let it be known.
Every time I come here, the workers are rude and extremely unhelpful. I came in to buy my groceries and when I got to the register which had the light on with a sign saying the lane was closed, the cashier, Courtney A, was bent over i think pulling food out of a bag, she then asked me (the customer) to hand her the sign blocking the lane, she was eating food while speaking to me and covering her mouth which only allowed her to use one hand and she did not bag the groceries as they usually do there.
It's time to say good bye... Less and less cashiers. Longer lines. More unhappy people.... You are on my way home but the experience is so poor that I may have to drive an extra 3 min to Hannaford.... Please get better so that I don't have to change...
I very rarely go into Price Chopper these days. I generally shop at Aldi, Healthy Living Market and Hannaford. I was a loyal PC customer for many years and actually worked for PC a long time ago. But the thing that ticked me off enough to stop going there was when they replaced the only A2 milk on the shelf with oat milk. 🤮
Really, the only reason I go into Price Chopper anymore is because they carry the larger 12oz Herdez Avocado Hot Sauce, or because every other place is out of KITU Super Coffee Sweet Cream flavor creamer. And they don't even carry that flavor so I have to go for Caramel, my second choice.
Another reason I don't do PC is because I like to go through self checkout and they're stupid app doesn't let you scan their own loyalty card. What is the use of self checkout when you need a cashier to come over and scan your card for you? Ridiculous that a company that's been around that long can't manage to have their app scan their own loyalty card at the self-checkouts like every other store in the civilized world. 🤯
Just of yesterday I bought donuts in the morning. I ate 2 of the donuts until I noticed one of them that I half finished had been covered in little splotches of mold UNDER the powdered sugar. It is very clear the donut was being covered up by the powdered sugar. Please check your food before making it.
