Stop & Shop

"Can I give zero stars? Horrible store. The self scanners are by far the worse I've used anywhere. The settings are so ridiculously sensitive. I don't think I've ever gone in and not needed the staff person to come clear the scanner. Never happens at Big Y, Walmart, Hanniford. The scanning area is often dirty. Don't know why the staff person can't clean the check-out stands instead of just standing around. The bakery...well, really, can we call it a bakery. I want a donut, one donut. No, this store continues to pre-package and offer only multiples. I'm not sure why I even want a donut here since they are not good. The bins where muffins, bagels, rolls are not priced. I asked why not and the woman in the bakery said they just don't put up prices since the prices sometimes change. Oh, ok. It's convenient to pop in here, but that is the only reason I ever use this store."

"The store was busy, cluttered and probably short staffed. I have successfully used self checkout at Kroger, Walmart, Price Chopper and Hannaford but here after every scan it would have to be approved by an employee! Just ridiculous! If I hadn't got the items I wanted I would give it 1 star. Don't plan on coming back."

"Staff is friendly, but thats about all they do right there. No one working check out lanes, so let the customer do your job for you! Oh, and they decided to remove all bags and charge for paper ones just all on their own. I have received attitude from some staff when asking for more than one paper bag. Go shop at walmart or target instead, this place doesn't care about it's customers at all."

"Seems odd to review a supermarket but this is a really nice one. Excellent staff, departments, selections, bla bla, all things we already know and love. But the best thing ever invented since sliced bread is the Scan It (tm) device! Go ahead, scan sliced bread with it. Scan while you shop then scan the whole device and pay. It's an underutilized service but it's a profound improvement to checkout. If you are hesitant to try the Scan It device, it's pretty simple and staff are happy to help if you get stuck. Worst case is you end up checking out in the traditional way. Meh. To start, scan your Stop and Shop card at the Scan It kiosk near self checkout. A few moments later it will click and light up one of the scanning devices just for you. It has a touch screen and a scan trigger. As you shop, point and shoot, it goes beep, put the item in your (hopefully) reusable bag. You can fill your cart to overflowing if you want to. When you're ready, touch its Checkout button. The Checkout button will warn about finalizing your cart then displays a personal barcode. You scan that barcode at any self checkout register and pay. That's it! Boop. They might audit your cart once to make sure you're doing a good job. Staff will help if you get tangled up. There are a few ways to get tangled up in the device, namely accidentally touching screen buttons. Such buttons include price check, cart item list, probably other things. If that happens, there is also a button called Scan which sets you back to normal."

"I love going to this grocery store. They have everything from groceries, to flowers, make up and delicious Bakery Goods to a nice pharmacy. It is always very clean, well-organized and stocked. I love there small clearance section on fruits and vegetables. They put one day old fruits and vegetables in a package, mark it at $0.79 a pound and sell them. It's an amazing way to get awesome food! They also have some beautiful bouquets of flowers there. When I first moved back to Massachusetts from North Carolina I went to their Pharmacy and asked if they took my insurance card so I could get the flu shot. Unfortunately they didn't accept my card however they offer a program where everybody gets a free flu shot! Isn't that awesome? They gave me a quick complementary flu shot :-) I probably go here three times a week. I would highly recommend it."
