Shaw's

I went shopping at Shaw's the other day. I had not been there in over ten years. I've usually shopped at whole foods, thinking I'll get the best products. Plenty of organic food here! Organic produce that I can pay less here than at Whole Foods! Well, I was very impressed with Shaw's. They have made this supermarket into a really beautiful and easy shopping experience. I grew up here, when Shaw's wasn't even here yet. I saw Shaw's move in and evolve over the years. Now it's really nice! You can buy organic and GMO in just about any food category. Plenty of nice organic produce! Plenty of regular produce are cheaper prices! Update: I really love Shaw's, however, today I was buying beef liver and there were two packs left. I picked up one pack and my hands were dripping with blood! I stood there wondering how I would get all this blood off. I realized that the packaging was really done poorly and that is raw and next to other fresh meats. Very bad and unsafe! Luckily there was a sanitizer stand next to me.

Kind of surprised by the outstanding reviews here and at least one comparison to Whole Foods. This place is "good enough." I do like the vegetarian packaged food options. Otherwise, the produce selection is basic, though the grapes and strawberries etc. never seem as fresh. The pharmacist who gave my wife her vaccination was reported as not having the gentlest bedside manner. Many of the checkout line workers are high schoolers.

In this location, if you have tattoos, not dressed like you just came out of J.Crew, and go up and down every aisle; they will suspect you of stealing. I did my bi-weekly food shopping which consisted of me going up and down every aisle, because I was going to buy a lot. I'm in sales so I understand certain announcements via the intercom. I heard 3 announcements requesting communications and I didn't put mind to it. I get to the self checkout and all eyes were on me. I even saw one of the managers walk past me while i was scanning my stuff. Over a $150 later, I paid with my credit card. And guess what? My payment went through because I'm an Executive for an important Tech company making over 6 figures. Sorry I didn't dress the part of your expectations of people who don't steal. Stop being so judgmental because I make more than the manager by 10 folds. I'm not here to degrade anyone as I've got degraded but I'm pointing out simple facts. To make it worse, as I'm walking out, a customer wanted to exit the same time as me. I said to that customer "excuse me." I was not talking to the employee that was manning the self checkout, but he had a wise remark of "you're excused." Little boy, I will date your mother and make you my step son and torture you day to day. So dont try me. Don't be rude to people for no reason. This store is pathetic and it started with their pathetic leaders. If you're not a Caucasian that is dressed to their standards, be prepared to endure some kind of prejudice. Shaw's, do better.
