Stop & Shop

BULLSH*T.
I am totally offended by supermarket chains that «bend, twist and inflate» their prices towards the areas because of the median incomes.
It is UNACCEPTABLE.
Pricing should be universal.
I mean McDonalds does not alter their prices; Hamptons or Selden or Forest Hills or Bellmore… same prices !
Now– I don’t know this area really well BUT the prices here are HIGHER than the location in Huntington Village. Why? I dunno — YOU TELL ME!
Also; this location has NO clearance racks like other Stop & Shops do. (
Clearance veggies, bakery items & dry goods do WONDERS on your wallets & pocketbooks when pay-​day is a week away!)
So like is the rich section of Merrick 2 minutes away from here? I dunno.
Just smells like bullsh*t to me.

This was a Waldbaums until the bankruptcy of the parent company caused this store to be sold to stop and shop. Very average stop and shop. Not as many lines as with Waldbaums. Good sales at times however it is hard to get help at the store. Store appears understaffed and it. seems like several unhappy workers work at this location. Many items on sale have to be rain checked. OK overall experience though.

Until recently, this was a Waldbaum’s. Since becoming a Stop & Shop, there have been some disturbing personnel issues, nicely encapsulated by my most recent (and final) experience there.
I came in to buy a coffee at the Starbucks in the store. In line was an employee, who was sick as a dog – coughing, snorting, moaning. He was telling his coworker that he had to come in because he didn’t have any sick days, but that he’d been sweating and shivering since he came in. This person works at a supermarket; he is handling food destined for everyone in the community.
The sole person who was manning the Starbucks had clearly never received barista training. She was wearing a Stop & Shop name tag, not a Starbucks name tag. She looked so overwhelmed, and was taking 3 – 4 minutes per drink. She used hot water for an iced drink, and she did it in a plastic cup, which is a leaching hazard. I would have asked her to make it again, but I didn’t have another 4 minutes and I wanted to get away from the sick employee.
