Stop & Shop Supermarkets

Yes this place is nasty from the disgusting sidewalk in front of the place to the garbage filled parking lot. Walking up to the store you see a number of employees outside smoking all of them seem to have on dirty uniforms the stained yellow shirts are just disgusting. Just not worth walking into this place.

There prices are falling! The store is big and clean. Most stuff is arranged well.
Here are my beefs — in the bakery area they have the tables holding the cakes way to close to one another making it impossible to easily maneuver their shopping carts around… i get so disgusted i just say hell no to even going to the bakery area any more.
Then, I usually go early AM and I don’t like the older gentleman behind the deli counter. He spends alot of time talking and takes his time re wrapping the meats and cheeses. When he is there, I sometimes avoid the deli department.

This stop & shop isn’t horrible. There are some that are horrible — I’ve been to them, this isn’t so bad.
Pretty good selection, I can usually find everything I need. They have a Starbucks, which is a huge bonus! There is a smell, as another reviewer pointed out– It’s not the store though, it’s one of the employees — seriously.
The reason I only give them three stars is because of the pharmacy. Those ladies aren’t very nice. I work out of CT and all my docs are there. I had brought a prescription in after a visit with my oral surgeon — he happens to print out his prescriptions instead of writing them out. Well, let me tell you, these ladies made me feel so small and like I was doing something wrong, horribly wrong. They looked at me like I had 10 heads, then commented on the script and had some whispering and pointing conversations and in so many words told me they didn’t have the meds and that it seemed like a fake script — quite frankly I’m surprised the cops didn’t show up to try to take me away given their reaction.
I vowed not to go back there after that, but I have been back, just not to the pharmacy. They have a Starbucks there, who doesn’t love drinking Starbucks while they shop?! ;-)

This is a very large supermarket and it’s overwhelming. I have only been in to purchase flowers or gift cards which is convenient because both are close the entrances/​exits and cash registers. The cashiers always seem to be chatting and hanging out with each other so I just do self-​checkout.

I come here often with my girlfriend to do grocery shopping for her family. It’s usually a smooth process, and we tend to go on the later side to avoid rush hour. My 2 star rating is a reflection of the employees at Stop & Shop. Not only do they all look like they want to kill themselves, act like they’d rather shove a stick through their eye, and don’t even know where half the item locations are in the store, but they’re not very remorseful in situations at Customer Service. Last night my girlfriend and I made a special trip back to Stop & Shop after getting our load of groceries home to pick up two bottles of Sangria and biscuits. (I had to grab my ID anyway.) We head to Customer Service to pay. Not only was I required to show ID, (I was the one paying) but so was my gf. Now, my gf is just about 20, so obviously she is a minor, but the girl refused to let us purchase the $ 4.99 bottles of wine simply because the person present with me is not also legal! Hello, it’s a grocery store, not a liquor store! I don’t think the same rules should apply! She didn’t even sound sorry when she apologized to us, even after we told her we drove all the way back to pick them up. I’m sorry, but I have experience buying alcohol pretty much anywhere and I’ve never had a problem buying from a grocery store, simply because the person with me is a minor. We went across the street to a liquor store who had much nicer employees.
Edit: the employees here also do not know how to bag your groceries. They’ll put like one item in every bag so you go home with fifty unwanted plastic bags, or they’ll put too many items in a bag and mix the bleach with the bananas. The deli also messed up our order last Saturday night and gave us the completely wrong order and we didnt realize until we got home, so we came back for a refund and the right order, which they took forever in preparing.
The shelves were so disorganized on Saturday too! Stop n Shop has the horrible habit of not stocking the shelves often enough, and we’ve gone weeks where the same items still hadnt been restocked. The shelves were EMPTY or cleared and half the aisles were blocked off with crates of Lay’s chips. It felt like the whole store had been moved around and we had a hell of a time finding so many things.
It’s Stop & Shop people, Their only redeeming quality is their pretzels. (which we are eating right now)

Not my number one choice, but when the store is stocked and stocked proplery you can do well. I dont know if it just is the locations of all the stop and shops, but its always a crowd inside and out. Went in last night for one item, and the self checkout lines were out of control. Waited 10 minutes, 6 self checkout lines packed because they only had 4 checkout lines open.
Then the self checkout always has an issue with place wait for items to reach the bagage line, or please wait for assitance.

This store can be hit or miss. The aisles & shelves are a bit disorganized & the appearance can be ugly. The prices are a little expensive compared to other supermarkets & the parking lot is always a disaster as well. It is convenient & you can save on your gas prices by using your Stop & Shop card.

Oh no! There is no supermarket with a disgusting smell! What am I going to do? I am going to Stop and Shop on Hylan blvd, Staten Island because I just LOVE (I really hate it) the smell of vermin. Maybe it was just one day that this place had a dead rat or mouse, but the smell (like all other dead mice smells) was disgusting.

The other stop and shop is better.
This one is messy and slightly dirty.

Super selection sound sundries sweet simple savory so, some stop and shop?
