Listen, I love Mariano's and especially since there's no Whole Foods close by, I can find some…read moreimportant dietary options (gf, dairy free) from brands that are hard to find elsewhere. Still, the prices are on the average way higher for some standard items that I can get elsewhere, which makes it hard for me to shop here in general. Last time I was in, we got a couple of poke bowls and some mac and cheese and chicken fingers from the freshly made food section. The quality was high, and the prices for the convenience were right on. Mariano's remains for me the place to get the one or two hard-to-find items and that's it.

I have been going to Mariano's for quite some time now and about 1 to 4 times a month lately. I…read morehave bought sandwiches that have been marked down because the date is near and the bread has been stale already even though it's within a day or two of the sell by date. I have also bought things from the bakery that have been marked down and they have been very stale even though the sell by date was one to two days into the future. So a couple days ago I buy this pork prepackaged and not entirely inexpensive and I go to cook it today. It's been in the refrigerator and the sale by date is tomorrow, but it looks so discolored and old. I'm not even going to try to open it and smell it. I'm taking it back tomorrow and I'm really sick and tired of taking things back to the grocery stores that are rotten. It is a drive to any of them and i may or may not have enough time to drive back, find a place to park, and go in and take care of business. I have ended up just throwing things out like little bakery items that were a couple bucks or a sandwich that was three or four instead of eight or six dollars. I think my days of shopping at Mariano's are over. Definitely stay away from markdowns, Also Their prices on most things are not cheap but I will say usually their full price fresh veggies and fruit are good and fresh. Hard to go from place to place for this and that though.

That's was my last straw. The employees are not helpful,…read more The store is ugly and not clean with horrible lighting and most of all I can no longer stand their stupid app and the ridiculous gatekeeping of ALL sales prices in this way. If you insist that I swipe a card or enter my phone number or an email address ... whatever, I have come to expect that.This app, however, is a piece of trash. Jewel is a place I shop when I just run out for a couple things in the evening. Often I'm out the door and don't even remember to take my phone with me. This is not a place I would ever do my weekly shopping. Their prices are too expensive for that, and the vibe of the store is too scuzzy and kind of hideous. So I would never want to be in there for that long. So inevitably, I need to call somebody over to help me and sometimes they'll just use their little override badge to give me the sales pricesnon a few items. Today I had 4 bags of salad, some cottage cheese and crackers. The lady working the self - checkout corral decided the best use of her time was to delete all my sale items and send me on my way with a box of crackers and no dinner. I'm done with these people and they're glitchy bs app. they can keep their filthy store and ridiculous .

New little gem that we stumbled on after checking out Savers next door…read more This is a New Mexican Grocery Store that opened up about two months ago. Nice, organized & clean. Large meat/deli section. We were hungry and discovered their little counter order restaurant within the grocery store. Between the 2 of us we had the Mexican chicken tacos with cilantro & onions. Sorry - I took the pictures after I devoured most of the taco. It was very good & I highly recommend. They also had a counter where they sold ice cream. Maybe next time we will try that. They have another location in downtown Crystal Lake located at 131 N Main Street. The employee that took our order was very nice.

This review is strictly based on the interaction I had with associate Mike in the produce dept…read moretoday 5/18/21. Most visits to Walmart are unremarkable. By that I mean that there is never anything impressive about the normal visit. You can normally see employees tasking their freight, or taking amongst each other, or sometimes helping customers. The one thing I'm about 99% sure of is that if they're busy helping a customer, it's because that customer approached them and not the other way around. Not for me today though, and not even because I had that lost look on my face. No. Today was different. Today, Mike, was working in the produce area. He was putting fruit out, ANNNND he was paying attention to his surroundings- the customers in his area. He was greeting all of us!! And though you couldn't see behind the mask upon his face, you just knew there was a huge smile on his face. It was such a refreshing change from the usual visits I experience. I think we can all attest that the "norm/average" Walmart worker- the ones who don't lift their head up to even look at you, much less say hello- they're a dime a dozen. Not just at Walmart, but in retail in general. Workers like Mike don't come along too often. Workers that exceed the expectations of customers are worth their weight in gold nowadays. Mike was going above and beyond what has sadly become the now accepted norm, non-interaction due to task or unfriendly/uncaring associates, just by interacting with the people around himself. By being considerate and asking if he could help anyone find anything. Did we need this, or that.... and in a charismatic jovial way. It was truly a delight!!!!! After my short interaction I started to walk away. I'm not sure what it was, but I felt compelled to go back and talk with this guy. I told him I thought he was great!! To never change the way he is with his customers. He's truly a rarity these days. I asked if I could take his picture and post it in a review, and he said I could. Walmart in Crystal Lake, Il.- you should be having this guy train all of your employees on customer service. He was the only employee out of the 7 I ran across during my visit that said hi, how are you today. Can I help you find anything? There was only one more out of the 7 that even spoke, and that was the gal saying "oh excuse me- I'm sorry" after she had crossed back and forth past me twice already. The other 5 were too busy in what they were doing to notice anyone around them, or they didn't care. Thank you, Mike, for the great customer service!! Keep up the great job that you're doing.
