Schnucks Carbondale

"Nice selection of food but is always so cold in the store I can't get all my shopping done before I freeze out and half to leave."

"Fair selection of produce, though more expensive than other stores. Hygiene products are also available, but they are also more expensive. The store usually carries pretty good cuts of meat. There is also a deli and a hot bar for lunch on the go. The store has begun to follow the trend of having customers do unpaid store labor with a self checkout and usually 1 employee actually running a checkout lane. They also have an inventory robot that will run you over if you don't watch out. Schnuck's employees are in a union, so that is a plus, and the reason why I give it 3 stars."

"This is a decent store. Not as big as some of the ones in St. Louis area but big enough. Has a good variety. I was disappointed in the deli. No sandwiches or much already made food like wraps and such, which is what I went there looking for. Maybe I missed them. Still a good store."

"Had been awhile since I had been in here. Still has a great selection of fresh fruits, deli meats, and butcher. . .but after that I feel like I'm at Walmart. Everyone standing around while I check myself out, but now this machine doesn't take cash, so have to find the one open lane. . ."

"As I do enjoy the cheap prices and friendly service. I do think that security needs to take customer safety more seriously. I was shopping with my tween and husband, when a female came up to us and said: " I'm trying to feed my 3 kids, and I can't afford it." First off I know this is a scam, second off I know that there are plenty of places to get food for the needy in Carbondale. She seemed to be on drugs (I'm a recovering addict, I can detect a drug addict pretty well.) She wouldn't make eye contact, and couldn't keep her story straight (I asked her about her kids three times, and she kept giving different names and ages.) Then I told her that I was using food stamps, and that she would not be able to get money back for the food. She decided she didn't need food anymore. When I told the security guard, he blew me off. I do hope she gets the help she needs."
