I have never felt more embarrassed and disrespected at a business than I did at Fareway Ames. I…read morepresented my valid Hawaii state-issued ID and was told they "couldn't verify it." To avoid any issues, I then provided my U.S. passport,literally one of the most official forms of identification possible, and was AGAIN told they couldn't verify it. At that point, it stopped feeling like a misunderstanding and started feeling extremely targeted and discriminatory. Being told that BOTH forms of government-issued identification were somehow not acceptable was beyond unreasonable and honestly humiliating. The way this situation was handled lacked professionalism, respect, and basic human decency. I left feeling singled out and uncomfortable, and I genuinely believe the treatment I received could be perceived as racial profiling. Policies are one thing, but treating customers with dignity should be the bare minimum. I hope management seriously addresses this so nobody else has to experience what I did.

It is so refreshing to go into a business where you know the money you are paying is going to adults who care about what they are doing. And not disinterested kids who could care less.

Overall this market is awesome! They have an amazing meat counter/deli and have most things you'd…read moreneed! They are a tad over priced and in some cases I have found items that are over double the cost of big business. But it's privately owned so I understand to an extent. In the evening they have high school kids that work there which is amazing for small town kids. Sometimes the employees seem to be more involved with their phones than their job but they are kids. What do you expect? So after living in several small towns with markets i give it 4 out of 5!

If I were attending Iowa State, this would be a place to shop on a lesser budget without much sacrifice. Bring a quarter, and a shopping cart is yours. You will bag your own products too. Good frozen selection. Off-brand canned and bixed items. Their middle aisle is a smorgasbord of discounted items, and some will be a grab because it works in your budget! I am incredibly grateful for Andrew at the store, who provided me terrific customer service when I needed help last night. That level of customer service and their pricing make this one of our shopping stops. Kind staff in abundance. Plenty of parking, great location on Duff Road, and good music throughout the store!

Awesome looking produce everything was really fresh. I got the feeling the owners care. Very clean place and the kid running the check out was fun to talk with, he had huge smile while he worked. I was super impressed with the meat counter. Cuts you would never see at the chain store without asking to have them specially cut. I realize you have to have higher prices to keep a small store open in a small town. Their attention to the customer has won me over and I will stop back in.
