I stopped by Pueblo Supermercado in Arecibo, & it was extremely busy. I'm not sure if it was b/c it was the 1st of the month or if this is just the main nearby supermarket for a lot of locals, but the store was def packed & a bit chaotic when I went in.
I had to wait in line for a little while,& it felt like everyone had the same idea @ the same time. That being said, despite the crowd, the store itself was well-stocked & organized once you actually got around the aisles. Food galore w/ fresh cold cuts,salads,veggies,meats, & anything you could think of. They even had roasted chicken & freshly baked bread.
1 thing I'll say is that I didn't expect the bathrooms to be so clean. W/ how busy it was, I honestly wasn't expecting much, but it was actually spotless,smelled like Fabuloso, & usable. It didn't feel neglected or overwhelming, which made a difference during a hectic visit like that.
Overall, it was a solid store experience considering the rush. A little chaotic, but still functional, stocked, & surprisingly maintained in the areas that matter when a place is that busy. The staff was also friendly & still managed to keep a smile despite the crazy rush. read more
