This store has recently been remodeled. It’s SO much better now, even though it was incredible before. Extremely clean, always organized, priced are low, store employees are extremely friendly, and parking is never difficult. Plus the clientele of this store is SO much different than the Stop&Shop down the street(must be because that’s much closer to Boston), much less LOUD people and LOUD kids, which at some points drives me nuts! Only complaint: checkout can be longer than hoped for, and they got rid of SelfCheckout, yet they said it caused several thefts to the store, which I guess I understand. I like how if go to the service desk and ask for another register to be opened that they will open another(or sometimes 2) rather quickly and in a fair manner to the next person.

This review is not for the store as a whole, but for my recent experience with the seafood department. They were having a good sale on lobsters this week, so, as we do often although never here, I called up to order some cooked lobsters for pick up later today. I was told, in a very condescending tone that«oh no, you have to come into the store for that ‘dear.’» Uh, what? I have to drive over there, place my order then drive back later to pick it up? Just called Stop & Shop and placed my order, no problem. Theirs are a dollar more this week, but I’d rather deal with people who reasonably accommodate their customers.

I wasn’t too sure about all of these other reviews. I prefer coming here and I’ve actually stopped using the Stop & Shop in Dedham in favor of getting my groceries here. It’s larger, less cramped, I can ring myself up in peace, and it’s cleaner. I have more of a selection of things here than I do at S&S. The parking lot is never a hassle for me to get in and out of, either.

I had to write this for the up tight old white guy in the fish department who was very rude and threw my orders at me with fish juice slinging and all. Maybe he was mad that I came in and bought 5 lobsters just because it’s Tuesday, or maybe it’s because I’m black. I don’t pull that card often but he was extremely rude to me and nice to everyone else. He yelled at me from over the counter and half bagged my lobsters to the point where they were falling out of the bag. I asked for a piece of salmon and you would’ve thought I asked for a loan by the way he looked at me. Again, quick bag, didn’t check the weight with me and practically threw it over the counter at me. I had to pause for a second because that’s how stunned I was at his rudeness. I sent back the Salmon when I was at the register just to give him something to be pissed out and he didn’t mark the price down like he should’ve. Aww good olé Massachusetts with its blatant racism.

The great thing about this place is Cheryl, when you have great people in your store, almost home. The place is clean and plenty of self check out’s.

I wish I lived closer to this Star Market. It has a fantastic selection of produce, the bakery has great offerings, and overall, the store is usually not crowded, even on a Friday evening. It’s relatively new-ish, and while it looks small on the outside, it’s quite spacious. Don’t sleep on this supermarket!
