The guy behind the deli counter provides exemplary customer service, as does the bakery department. All of the cashiers are extraordinarily personable and willing to provide any assistance when asked. The lines move swiftly and the self-checkout always has one or more helpful employees on the spot. The long running employees are a staple of the neighborhood community and the newer ones are always bright and hard-working which speaks highly of the hiring manager. All of the employees are great to have around, even the quieter ones. Lastly, in a neighborhood that can be a little intimidating to some, the security team keeps an excellent eye on everybody and everything. Thanks to them I feel absolutely safe while shopping there, which unfortunately I am unable to to say about some neighborhoods. You can tell that the entire staff cares a whole lot about the well-being of the store, the neighborhood and the community. Long live "Ghetto" Smith's, the heart of the Student Ghetto.

It was my husbands request to have fresh fish for his birthday dinner. The first place I thought where to get it was at WFM. I made a trip into town to visit this location. The parking lot was clean, and there was plenty of parking. I liked the feel when I walked into the store, the culture seems simpler and sleeker than it once was. The store is big, clean, and beautiful. It looked like they still offer many of the same services they had prior to the Amazon acquisition. Today, I was there for the meat department. I made my way over and asked if the fish they had on display were the only whole fish they had. They said it was. I ordered two Branzini's (sea bass) and Mark asked if I wanted anything done to them. I asked him to remove the scales, so he did just that. He bagged and wrapped them up for me. I then shopped for a few other items I had on my list. The produce and meat departments sections are beautiful. I like the options they have on their isles. They had a few checkers open. The customer service gal pulled me over and checked me out. I paid $33 for my two fish. I didn't feel that wasn't a bad price considering you could easily pay $60 for one filet at a nice restaurant. I will have to stop in more often for some more fresh fish or other nice looking seafood they have.

The meat counter is amazing with every cut you could possibly want. They also have a guy with a grill outside who will grill the meat you buy and he's incredible.

My friend said she would buy my wine since she had her ID with her (btw we are both over 65). But the clerk explained that she had to ID all parties buying alcohol. Ok. Local rules we will follow if we know them. Now we have been schooled. Several days later we return with all of our IDs in hand. Checking out, the same employee said "and don't come back!" ???
