"You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant Walk…read moreright in it's around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant" (Arlo Guthrie) Alice could easily get anything she wants for her restaurant right here on Progress Lane in Waterbury. Imagine a store as big as a Home Depot that only sells restaurant stuff. It's like a Disneyland full of trays, pots and pans, mixing machines, ice makers, bar equipment, pizza paddles, ovens, fryers, griddles, bar stools, slicers, and pretty much anything you have ever seen in or need for a restaurant. I don't own a restaurant, but I definitely developed a greater appreciation for what it really takes to operate one. Wine glasses, bowls, plates, cutlery, fry baskets, big knives, spatulas, gloves, bowls as big as a witch's cauldron, bathroom signs, dining room chairs and barstools, slotted spoons, whisks, chef clothing, big pans and serving trays, coffee stations, chopping boards, a tortilla press, even French Fry cutting machines. We saw them all. And then there were the huge things like deli showcases and enormous dough mixing machines that reminded me of land locked cement mixers. What a fun time we had wandering the aisles and gawking at everything. I've truly never seen a store like this before. Its open to the public and no membership is needed to gain entry. So what did we buy? We replaced an old plastic one pint measuring cup that was getting impossible to read. The new one ($3.99) is very sturdy and super clear to read. We also bought a nifty 10-cut pie and cake marker ($5.99) that will come in handy on Thanksgiving. We had a blast !!

But do you know why I love Bjs? Its because its not Costco. You can go in get you stuff and walk right out. It doesn't feel like a black friday door buster everyday. This BJs is way less crowded than Costcos in Waterbury. To be perfectly honest though I have both Memberships. One thing that this BJs has that Costco doesn't is very cheap propane refills. Overall its really not bad.

Cold industrial lighting highlights towers upon towers of consumer goods, neatly packaged and smelling of plastic. The building itself could house what feels like the entirety of West Hartford. Security is present, multiple times we were checked for our Costco card. The deals are good, not exceptional. Example: dyson supersonic is the same price on Dyson.com, and has far more colors. Nonetheless the place is fun with ample food and close, organized parking.

Depot evokes the best and the worst emotions in me…read more In some ways I am thrilled to be in the Disney World of food - and the gadgets, oh the kitchen tools - always have me imagining a better life. I love selecting my items. Then, reality sets in... CHECK OUT. Then this Disney creation turns into the saddest place on Earth. It's sad to see folks so reliant on the items wait in the cue and then pack their cars - only to have to unpack it at their business - and I dread those putting shellfish in the trunk in the heat of August (I hope they're wearing Resto gear, etc) so I can choose another place for clams... I love it. The prices have gone up, there's less and less delta from what a foodservice distributor will cost. But I do enjoy selecting some items (especially produce) myself. Just... I'll always continue to get my proteins and perishables (especially fish) from a delivered refer truck.

The guy mumbled something at me. I was asked if I wanted the receipt and said yes.. only to see I was charged the full price.

I almost wonder if they charge full price after 6pm, unless you catch the error. Deli staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Second, the fact that 3…read moreemployees (only 1 was working, the other was on her cell phone and the 3rd had her child with her) can't even figure out how to void an item blows my mind. And the girl they were calling from the back room, multiple times, answer at first and then finally yelled out from a back room. Two minutes later, she staggers out with her daughter both of them looking absolutely disheveled, like they just woke up. The employee that was working had to avoid an item because it rang up wrong so she had to call the woman back because the other woman working with her was too busy on her phone but also had no idea what she was doing. Not only was I in line, but there was a woman in front of me. We both were patiently waiting, and the woman in front of me had to ask for somebody else to open the register. The woman working on the register, trying to buy the transaction at the other woman not working who is on her cell phone if she was on registers today she side and said yeah I guess I could take you guys first of all if we're paying minimum wage to people like this who have zero work ethic and are so lazy they shouldn't be hired at any store any place and I need to pick classes on how to work and what is the meaning of working hard for your money this place is atrocious and everybody there needs to be fired. And while we were finally helped on the second register, the girl continue to talk on her cell phone with her earpiece in and moved as slow as could be.
