I came searching for a portable dvd player & I was able to find what I was looking for at a decent price along with some other things. I seen some mixed reviews but i feel Walmart is a different experience for everyone you love it or hate it. I gave four stars for not being sure about the parts of the store I didn't see.

The deli and meat counter has a good amount of house-made dishes, from chicken salads to smoked salmon. The really huge, well-curated cheese section is worth it alone. This kind of counter is what I've missed after moving up here! Nice selection of grocery staples with an emphasis on local/regional producers where possible. There's a small but solid selection of natural health/beauty products and gifts, too. "Well-curated" is a running theme, as the beer section stocks a ton of nicer local brews I can't find at the major chains here. The staff is helpful and friendly without being overbearing. It's definitely a worthy detour if you need groceries and are in the area.

Stop & Shop in Hadley is a large full-service grocery store that covers most everyday shopping…read moreneeds, with a broad selection of produce, packaged goods, household essentials, and a reasonably sized deli and bakery section. We walked into a layout that is familiar to anyone who shops regularly at Stop & Shop locations, and the store generally carries enough variety that most shoppers can complete a full grocery run without needing a second stop. The store's selection remains one of its biggest advantages. We found everything from specialty sauces and organic products to seasonal items and household staples, which makes it a more practical option than a local market for a full cart of groceries. The produce section was well stocked on our visit, and the deli and bakery offered enough variety to cover both quick meals and planned cooking. The online ordering system and pickup service add convenience, though we have not used it extensively ourselves. Across different visits, the biggest criticism is around consistency rather than product quality. We have noticed that sale items are occasionally out of stock, checkout lines can move slowly when only a few registers are open, and certain departments can become understaffed during busy periods. Those issues are not dealbreakers, but they are worth factoring into the timing of a trip, especially on weekends or holidays. For a large format grocery store in the Hadley area, Stop & Shop delivers on selection and convenience, though the experience can vary depending on the day and time you visit. Planning for a slightly slower checkout and checking stock availability for sale items ahead of time helps smooth out some of the friction.

I stopped in yesterday, 3/16/22, and they give me this BS story that all of the registers are down, except 2, but I can still download the app and also save ten dollars. People should seriously contemplate the kind of world we are moving in to, where we are all pawns lying to each other, to further enslave ourselves into the automated digital system. This type of system eliminates jobs, and feeds into the surveillance state, by tracking everything we are buying. Customers should be treated like people, as opposed to a commodity, where everyone's personal data is collected and sold off as a product. Now, if what I'm saying sounds a little crazy, let me ask you a question: In a nice world, do we flagrantly lie to people that registers aren't working, making people wait 30 minutes to check out of the store if they don't embrace your new technology? If this happens to you, and you care about living in a future where we still love each other, and treat people with real dignity and respect, I recommend shopping somewhere else. Don't allow the system to force you into their authoritarian nightmare world. Rather, you force them to be more caring about their employees and customers.

Selection is great, staff is super personable and helpful. And I appreciate there are wipes and hand sanitizer pretty much always available, something my local stores seem to be incapable of.

The same goes for the fresh fruit but not as bad. You have to check the dates on the self-service deli. The Hot Bar is also trucked in. On top of this their bakery selections are very limited and they have almost no healthy baked goods any more. 50% off on deli and bakery seems like a great deal until you realize that your getting old food. Does Amazon care what WF has become? Apparently not. Until more people realize that this is Whole, Not So Fresh, Food, nothing will change.

This store was terrific for a long time but it's gone downhill in the area of customer service…read more Tonight I was selecting some produce and an employee, who I later learned was actually the manager, stopped in front of me with a huge buffing machine saying "I have to clean here." He did not ask me politely to move, nor did he thank me for moving. He basically told me to get out of the way. I was surprised but continued to shop. Toward closing time another employee yelled in a loud booming voice, "Listen everybody, the store"s closing in 5 minutes. All customers have to get out!" I kid you not. A new Aldi's being built in a nearby community. Hopefully they will be better. Low prices should not mean low customer service

Before the menu change, I ordered a vegan tofu reuben with their delicious slaw, called a "Cosmos."…read more It was so good, I ordered it again, thinking it was impossible for them to get it right two times in a row. They did. So I came back a THIRD time and ordered it AGAIN, just to see if they can still keep their vegan cheese melted just right on top. It was incredible, AGAIN. Now that I've gotten this out of the way, ask where it is on their new menu as it is under revision--I don't like the tempeh version as much. Onto the rest of the atmosphere of Cushman. One of the most pleasant features of Cushman Market and Cafe is that it is nestled at an important corner in northeast Amherst. You need to travel further west to get to The Mill District and not much opens there early, and there's little else I can recall in the other cardinal directions. It's a pleasant trip, with plenty of parking in front, behind, and in a strip of side road across the street. I've never been in the market, so let me keep talking about the Cafe. The atmosphere of the Cafe is wonderful, with locals, safety officers, and regulars all visiting at each meal hour from breakfast to lunch. Nestled inside what looks like an old barn, complete with doors still hanging, Cushman has memorabilia from decades of music, sports, politics, and news frozen under acrylic, different for many of their tables. The café seems to have at most 20 chairs, and the staff behind the counter will deliver it to your table, call your name, or leave other orders by a stand near the back entrance. Cushman Cafe offers a variety of meals, alongside baked goods and freshly mixed café drinks. While I'm not a fan of the switcherels, I have enjoyed their dirty Chai lattes, iced teas, fresh coffees, and free water if I recall in a pinch. They have gender neutral bathrooms--which is great if you're tired of waiting in line for one of two as they are large but single occupancy. They offer cold panini sandwiches, hot panini, all sorts of eggs, egg sandwiches, and egg breakfasts, vegan and vegetarian options, alongside a seemingly visible carnivorous focus for their new menu's default. If you had a chance to hop on a bus and travel around Amherst, or you were passing through to the highways, Cushman Cafe is worth a quick stop. I've rarely had to wait long for my meals even in busy hours, and this is because of the large and competent kitchen, who--if you'll remember--can get a delicious sandwich right any day of the week. I hope cell service returns there!
