Wow. Hoping today was just bad luck, but this store had so many issues. 1. The meat department was…read morevery empty. The whole top row had very limited meat and they started putting sweet corn, mushrooms, and brussels sprouts in other areas to fill the space. 2. There was only one checkout lane with approximately 15 people in line. 3. There is no checkout where you can check out yourself so you are forced to be in this line with only one item. 4. I waited 25 minutes to get checked out. 5. Someone finally came to open up another register (after a 25 Minute wait) and they took the person in the back of the long line to go first. Proper etiquette would've been to call the person who is the next in line who had been waiting for over 20 minutes and not someone who just got in line at the end of the one single line.

I had a horrible customer experience with 2 cashiers which was unbelievable. The weekly ad had…read morewhole rotisserie chickens for $4.99 on special and my cashier scanned it for $6.99 which I pointed out and he made several excuses why it didn't apply to my item and the cashier next to him parroted the same excuses. So I say it's on the front page of the weekly ad so he looks at it and still says it doesn't apply to my rotisserie chicken, are you fu#$ing serious and refused to sell it to me at the sale price and I just walked out. I called the night manager to tell him the crazy customer service from the two cashiers and he could give a crap less with no I'm sorry for your experience or any thing like that. So the next morning I called for the day manager on duty and Heru answered my call which I explained my crazy customer service experience with the two cashiers and the night manager and Heru was patiently listening to my experience and agreed the whole interaction with the store was unacceptable and all the employees pretty much failed with me. Heru says let me make it right and come back and I will have rotisserie chicken and a 12 pack of Hawaiian rolls to make right the poor customer service you experienced yesterday. I have been going to this location for 15 years before it became a piggy wiggly with the first to review and the Duke of check ins with no problems and I explained to Heru that I have been a customer since first opening and he did a great job at repairing a business relationship, even the lady at the front desk who helped me pick up my food from Heru was apologizing because she didn't understand how this could even happen. I next to never call managers with complaints and surety don't expect comped food but I wanted the store know that my experience was unacceptable from 3 of its employees.

They had a few other goodies that are perfect when I travel: RX bars, Cliff bars, dried fruit, yogurt pretzels and can never turn down freeze dried watermelon candy. It was the end of then evening and a lot of the salads were already sold out. But they had chicken salad and were able to get some pita chips for the perfect quick and easy to pack lunch. Staff were friendly and helpful. I haven't been to this location in a long time so happy it's easy to get into and has all the great items.

We don't do much shopping at Trader Joe's. Most of our weekly staples come from Aldi. We just…read morehappened to be driving by and decided to stop in to check it out. The place was mobbed. Lots of shoppers, and lots of staff stocking shelves and checking people out. They have many interesting packaged foods, gourmet items, produce, and wine. However, there wasn't much to offer in the fresh meat area. I couldn't find any pork roasts, for example. I know people really love their Trader Joe's, but for us it doesn't quite cover enough of the items we typically buy at our usual stores. And for the items that do overlap, the prices are higher than what we usually pay at Aldi.

I love going to Woodman's when I have to stock up on pantry staples. I find that their prices are…read moreon average the most reasonable for dairy, canned goods and most produce. The store can be a bit chaotic, depending on the time you visit, and the checkout lines can be extra long. If you don't mind the crowds, it's a great place to save extra money.

Be prepared to…read morespend at least an hour walking through this aisles, especially the international section, they have so many varieties and no store compares. One small downside is the discounted produce at the front are expired and it's been rare to find a treasure that still appears edible. Overall good deals on fresh produce can be hit or miss with sales on berries. Absolutely love the vegeterian options I have never seen so many tofu, veg burgers, vegan meals, etc in one place (same goes for gluten free!)

I love shopping at Cermak. They have a great selection of all things at competitive prices. I love…read morefinding new recipes and I know if there is a tough to find authentic ingredient, Cermak will have it.

My friend took me to check out this supermarket on the otherside of town. Located in a commercial…read morearea with a big parking lot. We walked in the grocery side, it was huge. So many different vegetables and fruits, prices were lower than other grocery stores. Towards the back is the meat and dairy, rows of grocery aisles of Hispanic and American food. Opposite from the vegetables is the hot deli and cold food. So many to choose from, there's someone behind the counter and there's also self service, just grab a box and choose whatever you want. They will weigh it. The cash register is in the front, over 10 cashiers available. There were many people shopping, busy, but not crowded. Store is big and clean.

This place just opened up and as of 03/22/2018 is doing 10% off your purchase! The guy that runs it (I assume AJ) is super helpful and informative. The prices are super low and the stuff is crazy legit. I got some chicken tikka masala for me, some paneer makhani for the vegetarian gf and a massive thing of nann bread for a crazy good price. I'm happy that a place like this is opened up near the house because we normally can only eat out for this kind of food. If you love Indian food, want to try something new, are a vegetarian, need bulk spices, curry, chutney or even some fresh veggies, you gotta hit this place up!!

This location is another solid grocery store. Because of its smaller size compared to other Sendik's locations, it doesn't have nearly the same selection. On this particular visit, I was looking for sweet chili sauce. Other Sendik's stores usually carry several options, but this one only had a single choice, which I did end up buying.

Don't forget to take a peek at the clearance rack too. The staff here is always helpful and friendly. The only thing here that is a bit annoying is the lack of cellular service once you get into the building, forcing you to utilize their WiFi but you have to ask the information desk for the password. It would be really helpful to have that information posted at the door or around the store because I often use my phone in the store. Other than that, I love sendiks & will continue to shop here for years to come!

There was a definite buzz about the chicken salad- and a line in the deli (they move it along quickly). I would say it's worth the hype! Tumeric and chicken bouillon give it the yellow color.
