    I actually have no problem with this Big Y, whatsoever. Granted, I have limited purchasing…read moreexperience here, as we only stop in on our way to the Swift River for a day of kayaking. We enjoy a picnic lunch almost every weekend, and Big Y Palmer helps us achieve that. Our usual purchases: fried chicken, a deli "side" item, some fresh fruit and a bag of chips. The fried chicken is always terrific. It's never dried out, and every time we go, someone has been bringing out new 8 piece combo bags or rotisserie chickens. Their deli side items are hit-or-miss, especially the pasta salads: the tri-color rotini was too oily and the spinach-gemelli pasta was underseasoned. A little more parmesan/pecorino romano and some pepper would go a long way. The fresh pre-cut fruit was affordably priced ($2.50), but seemed unripe when we opted for the watermelon. Very crunchy with little flavor, like it was part of the rind. I guess to me what makes this place worthy of 4 stars is the service. Every time I'm back at the deli counter, there's always a team of employees ready to help. Even the other customers are polite and helpful, helping locate utensils and napkins. I avoid the check-out lines at the front, which usually aren't that long anyway, by paying back at the deli counter. Although the summer is winding down, this Big Y will remain on our radar for next year, where it's just a quick stop off the road-- and easy in and out-- for nabbing some picnic supplies.

    Big Y apparently does not offer hand baskets anymore? Of course, you have to bring your own bags…read moreor pay for paper bags that fall apart. The prices here are much higher than Shaws in Sturbridge. Their deli has a limited selection and is priced insanely high. And the people stocking the shelves will not move to allow you to get items off the shelves. The only reason I'll go back here is for an emergency item I need if I'm in the area.
