Inconvenient Supermarkets

So this afternoon I went to a Farmer Jacks to pick up some stuff for our event tonight. When I think supermarket, I like to think of finding everything I need in one place. Convenient, right?

Wrong. Nothing about "supermarkets" are convenient. Who puts cookies in the produce section? Who puts water in an aisle with baby food? How come the "fast lane" is anything but fast? How come things are labeled as "sale" but they really mean "sale if you have our loyalty card?"

See, bad supermarkets take advantage of their convenience and make the process completely inconvenient. To top it off, they have terrible customer service that goes out of its way to make you feel unimportant and stupid for not knowing that they hide cookies next to the fruit.

Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a solution that provides convenience and good prices.

    I second that! Our Farmer Jack store is the worst grocery store in town in terms of customer service and convenience. I’ve experienced all of the following: rude cashiers, slow lines and incorrectly priced merchandise. Everytime I go there, I am shocked by my grocery bill (which is why I rarely go there anymore). In my opinion they also have the worst prices in town.

    I third that. Our standing family joke for farmer jack (at least the Romeo one) is – in order to apply for a job you must be crabby and do not know how to smile. I don’t think it’s to much to expect a cheery smile and a Hello from our cashiers,instead of them ignoring you and talking to the other cashiers or baggers.
