    New refrigerators
    Lana K.

    I stopped today first time after the store remodeling! Wow, the company made a fabulous job. I go to this store for 27 years. The management has accommodated the diverse population of the village: Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Federal holidays are celebrated through sales, products, decorations, gifts. Great variety of fruits and vegetables in good quality and special sales. Today I noticed better variety of bakery products: breads, buns, sweets. More refrigerators, new design and equipment, many checkouts, support to local youth and folks with disabilities through employment. Jewel's management and employees - you deserve five stars. Local folks love you: parking lot was full on Tuesday around 5 pm. On weekends it's always booming. With the help of BG jewel - Jewel the plaza will be back to life. Thank you!!!

    06/14/21 My sister & I went to Jewel in Buffalo Grove to get some ribs on sale for $1.99/lb for an upcoming BBque. The woman at the front desk was very helpful helping us navigate the E version of the Jewel AP to be able to get this price (5 stars). After that it went downhill. We went to the back to purchase the ribs. The kid working the meat counter was talking to his friend & developed an attitude because we interrupted him. Excuse me sorry we didn't mean to interrupt your personal conversation @ work. I guess we should have come back after you were done talking to your friends. He looked annoyed was combative telling us we couldn't get 2 slabs. I mean like WTF was his problem? When I mentioned that I didn't like his attitude he said in a snotty tone to talk to his manager Pierre. I don't feel like we did anything to justify his attitude except to ask him to do his job & help us with our rib order.

    When I was at the store I grabbed 2 bottles of wine and went to checkout. I provided my expired and temporary driver's license but the cashier called the "manager" Olivia. Olivia took both, my expired and temp IDs and went to her manager to ask. I was waiting with my son without understanding since no one was explaining anything to me. Then Olivia came back saying that the temp ID should look blue and not white and black and refused to sell me those wines. I explained that I renewed my ID online and that is what I was provided. She responded in an extremely rude way "Do you think I do not know how temp ID should look like?!" From this moment I understood that I am not being treated equally, most likely because they noticed my "NOT PERFECT" English and thought they can treat me they way they want because the person in front of them is most likely an immigrant. After seeing the expression on her face showing the disgust towards me, I asked the cashier to call the manager hoping to explain that my ID is real. Manager, whose name I don't remember, but will try to describe: male, between 27-35 years old, with fuller figure, brownish skin and in glasses, appeared to be the rudest person. He did not even treat me like a person at all, he approached without greeting and with displeased face expressing even more disgust. I asked him why you cannot sell me the wines, I have my valid temp ID. He said that Olivia did not like your ID and decided so, if she said so, it cannot be discussed and I do not have any right to question it. I asked him maybe you can show the guiding policy, so I can understand the refusal. He said he is not required to show me anything, he is not willing to talk to me and I must leave the store. What did I do to be treated like that in front of all people? Because I asked questions? Or because these employees don't want to do their responsibilities and up to their mind behaving and treating people like they want? I said we can call police and they can verify it is true. The store manager showed his anger even more, and yelled that it is a private store and we decide ourselves who we serve who don't. I asked why are you talking to me like that in front of all shoppers in my neighborhood and in front of my 5 year old son? Is it because you think you can take advantage of me because I'm an immigrant and my not -perfect English? He laughed, said no and left. I asked Olivia once again to explain why are you refusing to sell the wine. She said she's not willing to talk to me, turned and left. Is that how customers are treated in this store? Aren't there any responsibilities that these employees have, such as customer service? Right after that I hear the third person Tara, yelling at me, saying "Stop harassing my employees". In front of all shoppers. Since when, asking question to clarify their decision is a harassment? I approached her and asked why you simply cannot talk to me like to a human and explain what is wrong with my ID? She answered that Olivia told my Date of Birth does not match. I showed her both my expired and temp IDs to tell that it is NOT true. She looked at me with animosity, did not even looked at IDs and with gestures pointing to the door started to yell again "Get out". This was such a humiliation and discrimination. And what does it mean" She did not like my ID"c she did not like my name, my picture? It is clearly a discrimination! After that, I called 911. And this further information is between me and the officer and confidential for now. Please corrective action, because I'm not planning to leave it like that. Who knows, how many other people are treated like that by these employees at Jewel Osco.

    It's like any other supermarket. There are all things to use. Including food. Open from 6 a.m. to midnight. There are automatic machines for buying lottery tickets as well as automatic machines for renting videos. Copy the key as well.

    Not the best and not the worst Jewel location. This is a decent sized store with a good selection of different items that range from super cheap to premium. Parking is generally not too difficult here, though they parking lot is not cleared the best after heavy snows so you will need to drive carefully around the big mounds of snow. Service is alright, not the fastest or most complete -- but reasonable (though at busy times, checkout can take a while). Two things prevent me from rating this store higher though. First is that the arrangement of items and price labeling is not good. I often find items located far away from their label or incorrectly mixed. Sometimes it's very difficult to find the price label for a product and similar products from the same brand may be located on level levels or far apart on the same shelf. This makes it easy to misinterpret prices and difficult to find certain items. Second is the widely varying expiration dates. You have to pay attention to what you're buying as the goods aren't separated well by expiration (either oldest at the top or in the front). Many times, this is simply mixed altogether. Overall, a fairly normal Jewel to shop at. You can find great deals if you're willing to spend some time looking and the Monopoly game is always popular.

    The store is easy to navigate through and they have a few self-check out counters to help out the customers who either are in a hurry or just have a few items to purchase.

This place just has more aisles. And while we might have one or two cases of a specific type of item, you got full aisles. And not just one aisle, but multiple. And many different brands and types. It's impressive to say the least. The discover only for card payments was a little weird. But not an issue since they take cash. Price was fairly reasonable as well.

How does it stay fresh? He was very helpful explaining the process that they vacuum seal the meats, wet-age it in it's own juicies then blast freeze to keep the freshness. I decided to buy a couple of products to try: ground beef and wagyu hamburger patties. I was told that the wagyu hamburger patties were juicy and tasty. The ground beef was good and when defrosted it was better compared to the beef you would normally buy from a normal grocery chain. Everytime, I go to this location to pick-up meats, the staff is welcoming and friendly. They answer all my questions and point me in the right direction. I was pointed to their froze veggies and I'm going to buy them next time to see if they are just as fresh as their meats. The store is well lit so it is easy to read everything. Everything is in the appropriate groups: Chicken, Pork, Beef, Seafood, etc. If you want great service and good meats and low prices head over to Wild Fork!
