This is my "home" Hy Vee. You can find some colorful people here. Sometimes they're even salty and…read morehard, like one of those sourdough tooth crackers that Snyder's makes. I'm going to guess they can make for tough customers. It's a pretty clean store and like all Hy Vees it's well stocked. They sell Don Javier's chips from Silvis, IL or somewhere over there by the Quad Cities. They're expensive, but they're the closest thing to the chips in a Mexican restaurant you can find. But I digress. The meat counter is good, there's no blood on floor on the customer side of the counter. The bakery same. Restaurant area ditto. I like Hy Vee's deli/restaurant but... man, the Chinese or "Hy-Chi" can be sketchy. It's not the employees' fault I'm sure. It's whatever recipes they use. Then again, it just might be Chinese food generally and it may be personal. The liquor store is great. You want booze, you got booze. This keeps the hard pretzel people I mentioned earlier happy. The staff is top notch. There's a really friendly woman who works here that is from Bosnia. She's got a clipped accent and based on what I saw I think she knows her regulars. I think working here probably requires a thick skin because you've got a mix of the Kirkwood students, the NewBo neighborhood (I assume - because that Hy Vee just north of down town - shuddering - it's a lil rough), and the pretzelish people mentioned above. Almost every time I got here I'm with my love which means I'm going to ask her loud enough for the cashier to hear what her name is today. Or whether she is using the credit card we found on the street the other day. Or if she can sign for the pseudo this time because I'm at my limit this time. Or "hurry up - I can see a cop and the Judge warned us what would happen if we broke the restraining order". Or the always reliable, "please don't hit me when we get out to the car - I'll be good". Granted sometimes the staff is dumbstruck, but most of the time they just smile and/or laugh and enjoy the drama. This is a good place to shop. Tell them Dick sent you.

The only reason I didn't give them a 5 is some of their prices are a little high at times and the wine and spirits is not as good as other Hy-Vees. For convenience and availability of items I really like going here.

A few days later I open my bank account to find that I am overdrawn and I look through my transactions to find that they did the hold AND charged my card again. Basically charged me twice.

When I went to pick his meds up, this hadn't been done yet. Patricia, the pharmacy tech was SO patient and kind. She called hospice and was able to enter the correct information, explained so kindly that they'd need to set his meds up differently for hospice and why, and that they ended to order a different med in one instance. She checked with the pharmacist a couple of times to make sure she was giving me the correct information, and she was! I felt very cared for and appreciated her compassion and kindness.

We live in Iowa City and make the drive for this market versus the ones around here.
